Opening a subsidiary in the Bahamas..... Wouldn't you hate to have to travel there every winter to keep an eye on it?
So perhaps that signals it is time to give up on these..

Was a value trap doesn't mean is a value trap

It's better than making a loss!

[cockerhoop] 22/3/2018 16:49

So you've held for approx 7 years and have a profit of about 16p per share.

That's a compound growth rate of 1.75%

Is that lucky?

[loganair] 22/3/2018 16:33

I must have been lucky as my average price is 124p and I have received about 65p in dividends.

Congrats ! Yes agree.Great investment for me also.

[stemis] 23/2/2018 12:47

As I said. I own shares in PHNX. More than double my holding in HSD and quite possibly soon to be treble...

[garycook] 23/2/2018 12:44

EEV Profits after Tax down from 8.5 Million to 3.9 Million,a drop of nearly 54%.I wish you the best of luck,and glad I sold out here.You could always invest in LGEN,another far superior company than HSD !

[stemis] 22/2/2018 14:38

I hold PHNX but I don't really want to have all my money there. PHNX is a different animal. It's winding down closed life assurance books and releasing capital for dividends but, unless it acquires new ones, that won't last for ever. The play here is a recovery based on growth. The reason it's cut it's dividend is to fund the growth in new business.

[garycook] 22/2/2018 13:18

Why invest here now,when you can get better yields in PHNX now of 6.6%,and a far superior company than HSD.Who seem to be struggling.

We have flagged for the past 12 months that we intended to reduce the Group dividend in the 2018 financial year by 50% in order to better match the cash and profits being generated by the Group and to be in a position to capitalise on future business development opportunities. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend of 1.8p per share (H1 2017: 3.6p per share). This dividend will be paid on 10 April 2018.

Hansard Global plc

New business results for the six months ended 31 December 2017

Hansard Global plc ("Hansard" or "the Group"), the specialist long-term savings provider, issues its new business results for the six months ended 31 December 2017. All figures refer to the six months ended 31 December 2017 ("H1 2018"), except where indicated.

Summary

-- New business for Hansard International Limited ("Hansard International") for H1 2018 was GBP77m in PVNBP ("Present Value of New Business Premiums") terms, approximately 3% higher than H1 2017;

-- New business for Q2 of financial year ("FY") 2018 was GBP38.5m, consistent with that written in Q1 FY 2018 and slightly lower than Q2 FY 2017;

-- Single premiums have continued to deliver strong growth as a result of on-going improvements to our single premium proposition;

-- New relationships established in Latin America and the Rest of the World have maintained their trend of very pleasing growth;

-- The Middle East and Africa region was lower compared to the prior period primarily as a result of the exit from the market of one of our distributors (as we noted in our Q1 FY 2018 new business results);

-- Assets under administration were GBP1.1 billion at 31 December 2017, an increase of GBP37m (3.5%) in the quarter and GBP87m (8.7%) since 31 December 2016.

Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Hansard has continued to grow new business levels in the first half of the financial year notwithstanding the exit of a distribution partner in our Middle East and Africa region. The well diversified nature of our business allows us to expand through other channels and we remain confident that Hansard will continue to grow as we deliver upon our strategy."
