CA plc is a UK life assurance subsidiary that is closed to new business. In June 2005 Chesnara acquired a further closed life insurance company - City of Westminster Assurance - for GBP47.8m.

Movestic, a Swedish life assurance company which originally focused on pensions and savings, was acquired on 23 July 2009 for GBP20 million.
