Looks like L&G are making sure that Boots deal pays off lol.

It is possible to park money at a little over 5% and little downside risk via money market funds like QUID and CSH2.

I believe these ETFs they are registered abroad (Ireland?, Luxembourg) so don't attract stamp duty either.

Worth considering for the 'market timer' strategy.

You will notice that Jubber goes from thread to thread multi posting why he has not invested in XYZ

This strategy allows Jubber to post on hundreds of threads where he has not invested. The world is his oyster

4 days to the important FY results. I am more than overloaded on these but if results are as I expect have time to add in the new ISA. GLA

Jubber, never too old!!

[alphorn] 01/3/2024 09:34

To be clear LGen has assumed the pension risk from those other companies.

[jubberjim] 01/3/2024 06:13

Results due in next few days and in the coming days

Am undecided as whether to pre buy ahead of results

I realise/think gaps lower down might need to be filled but...

What a quandry

Top heavy here Lgen Aviva but increasingly drawn to Phnx for that yield

Will think about it over the weekend .


Spring is in the offing might take some gardening leave weather permitting.

Good luck everybody

L&G expected to announce pension de-risking bonanza
29 Feb 2024

Insurance and asset-management large cap Legal & General Group is preparing to publish its full-year results on 6 March, with pension risk transfers (PRTs) top of the attention pile. Earlier this month, L&G’s PRT Monitor revealed a record-breaking 2023 for the UK PRT market and the second-largest year on record. Some £50bn in PRTs was transacted in the UK, with L&G leading on some of the landmark deals, including the British Steel Pension Scheme and Boots Pension Scheme transfers. As for the all-important dividends, L&G has guided 5% per-year dividend growth until full year 2024.

The group said during the mid-year interim call: “We remain highly confident in our strategy and in our ability to deliver resilient, organic growth, supported by our strong competitive positioning in attractive and growing markets. Our confidence in our dividend paying capacity is underpinned by the Group's strong earnings and strong balance sheet, which has Solvency II surplus regulatory capital of £9.2bn over a capital requirement of £7.0bn."

L&G shares are currently down 2.3% year to date, and 5.6% year on year.

As long as it the dividend repeats and continues I will do without the growth???? Although it would be nice

I like certainty? Not promises or pipe dreams.

Income is my aim.

But then I am an old git

L&G shares are currently down 2.3% year to date, and 5.6% year on year

JGGI I year +17.88% YTD +8.15%
Dividend 4.61p/qtr so half the yield but 20% capital growth

GGRP - a global quality theme ETF I year +12.37% YTD +3.1% on about a 2% yield

Hence exiting my divi stocks, big divi and no growth doesn't really do it for me

Aviva is even worse

Me and you both trev

[123trev] 29/2/2024 09:50

As always I wish you much luck with that and hope you get them.

[dope007] 29/2/2024 07:57

I'd like top dollar also. But sold 40% of my holding at an average of 201p. Left the rest for now but have been raising and adding cash to my ISA waiting for further opportunities in the mkt

[123trev] 28/2/2024 22:19

lol, dope come on you new what I meant and was it rejected yes not only that on the table for a month. The original post pointed to bad management and many stocks getting trashed DLG was no exception to that. The board at DLG will want top dollar despite their failings any further bid will reflect the time to turn the ship around and the synergies that can be achieved and despite you thinking that a deal being signed and sealed is a silly question when it comes to it it’s only then it’s real anything before is speculative.

[dope007] 28/2/2024 14:53

It's a bid Trev. So you must be amazed because you said you would be if there was one. SO yes its official, and yes Ageas have undersigned their offer. Will it be successful is another story.

Asking if it has been signed and sealed is a silly question

[longwell] 28/2/2024 14:42

In public domain as an offer based on cash and shares.Market may expect other bidders to appear ?

[123trev] 28/2/2024 13:23

Has it been signed and sealed?

[dope007] 28/2/2024 13:10

Erm the DLG bid has happened. Ageas have made it public

[123trev] 28/2/2024 13:02

lol completely different business don’t you think! To be quite honest if that dlg bid happens I will be amazed. The facts are clear looking at the wider market.
