Ah, if that a reason for the near £15 a share recently?.

I hold shares in Perseus mining and have recently received the share cerficate from computershare. Does any one know how I can sell these shares?

Pru is sticking to what it knows best..... Growing its Asian businesses mostly by organic growth with some bolt on additions. If and it is a big if it can gain control of the China JVs this will be a major enhancement.

Share price has had a good run over the last week or two. Would appear to be some favourable news in the system. There are a few possibilities. That speculation of a partial or full buyout of our joint Chinese partner Citic has some merit. The City has got wind of the 2019 numbers and likes what it sees. That Pru has managed to sell Jackson in the States. That the Coronavirus has encouraged large sales of life and health products throughout Asia. Buyers of cheaply rated Pru shares from USA institutions when compared with their highly expensive rated stocks. None of the above in which case I will tender my resignation.

Would suggest there are not plans to split the company up further - or am I reading too much into this?

Https://www.britishbulls.com/m/SignalPage.aspx?lang=en&Ticker=PRU.L Signal Update Our system’s recommendation today is to STAY LONG. The previous BUY signal was issued on 29/01/2020, 2 days ago, when the stock price was 1,392.00. Since then PRU.L has fallen by -2.87%. Market Outlook Candlesticks warned us today to be on alert with a new bearish pattern. Market attention is now on the downside.

chas, thanks for the view. I added today fwiw, however expected this to be available near £13. Perhaps next week.

I would be astonished if PRU had a big potential corolavirus exposure to losses from life insurance because most/all companies buy life reinsurance, just like general insurance. Sell Munich Re or Swiss Re if you want to. I agree with churchill that a boost in demand for PRU's life/health should be a very positive business outcome. Jackson is a good business with an excellent long term record....remember that they have a strong position in the US market which is probably the biggest in the world for their annuity products and asset management. PRU is extremely well positioned for growth if you can see through short term issues

[essentialinvestor] 31/1/2020 15:55

What about the claims book, are PRU the main underwriter on their life covers?, Or is the risk, or some of the risk elsewhere..

[churchill2] 31/1/2020 15:49

I take a contrarian view in that the coronavirus outbreak will give a huge boost to Health and Protection products sold by the Pru throughout Asia. I would hope that the Pru are actively trying to sell Jackson in America. There appears to be a number of companies over there with inflated share prices. Or alternatively a demerger on the lines of M&G.

[essentialinvestor] 31/1/2020 09:22

Would guess she has strong connections in the regions PRU is looking to grow. Might be an astute move. Surprised PRU has held up this well given the backdrop.

[meijiman] 31/1/2020 09:18

The only thing she believes in is accumulating power and riches for herself....therefore very much the sort of person Mandelson would like.

[essentialinvestor] 31/1/2020 08:58

Her personal politics are irrelevant, been a board member since 2010 and worked for UBS prior to entering politics.

[essentialinvestor] 27/1/2020 10:07

Near £13 would think, at least.

[luderitz] 26/1/2020 22:06

The more I hear about China over the years the more I really don’t want to visit. The negative Pru share price performance should be temporary so not to concerned.

[essentialinvestor] 26/1/2020 12:40

Available around 1380 tomorrow?. Or lower.

[essentialinvestor] 20/1/2020 08:28

Reports of the virus in China need to be kept an eye on. PRU benefits from Chinese visitors to Hong Kong. No talked Any travel restrictions at this point, however if this story develops it could possibly deter travelling?.

[essentialinvestor] 17/1/2020 11:35

Unloved atm, due a move up?.
