A stark contrast to the excitement and angst of very busy boards like CVR and GNC recently. I suspect ARW will liven up one day too.	martindjzz	Read Full Thread Reply

It is one of the leading insurers in Asia, where business is booming (the Pru is in the top three in nine of the 12 countries it operates in).With a push across China, the new chief executive of the Pru's Asian arm believes Asia can double earnings again over the next five to seven years.The roll-out in Africa continues and in the UK, the Pru and M&G insurance and investment arms have merged. In the US, uncertainty around new rules may affect sales of variable annuities but long-term opportunities in the fee-based adviser market look good. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jan/02/the-guardians-share-tips-for-2018	xtrmntr	Read Full Thread Reply
22/12/2017 12:04	I understand this is the last day to make an offer for £13 billion worth of annuities that PRU is reported to have put up for sale. So for those who may have forgotten or missed this date in the Christmas rush you had better get your skates on. What are they worth? Have not got a clue. Legal & General are reported to be interested as well as Aviva. Presumably if gives PRU substantial funds to finance expansion in Asia/Africa and possibly return some to Shareholders. Hopefully Pru can keep firing on all cylinders through 2018 but no doubt there will be challenges ahead. Seasons Greetings	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply

The firm’s chief motivation has been to change perceptions. The latest effort has been to close large parts of its UK business and focus on Asia. It wants to be seen as a high-growth Asian insurer. We own both Prudential and Asian rival AIA. They’re very similar, in terms of products and margins, particularly because AIA has been run by ex-Prudential management. AIA does have an advantage in mainland China, thanks to more extensive licences. The two nearly merged in 2010. Back then, Prudential was underselling itself and it still remains undervalued compared with its Asian peers. Its current price encompasses no future growth. I can justify today’s valuation on the basis of business it has already written. If you value Prudential’s Asian business on the same basis as AIA’s, you can add £36bn to its current £47bn valuation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/funds/manager-16bn-monks-investment-trust-cautious-rising-markets/ I don’t know how that comes about, though, or what is stopping it happening. The degree of undervaluation is slowly reducing, but there are still very few large British stocks so clearly undervalued. Everyone thinks it’s boring, but that’s the point. There’s nothing special about its business model, it’s just a life company. It will deliver double-digit growth over the next five, 10, 20 years, and it’s rated as though it won’t grow at all. It’s really all about Asia, which is 30pc of the business but 80pc of the value.	douglas fir	Read Full Thread Reply

10/8/2017 10:22	Prudential sparks sale speculation by merging UK operations 27 minutes ago by: Oliver Ralph Prudential is to combine its two big UK operations into a single entity, in a move that will increase speculation that the business is being prepared for a sale or spin off. Until now Prudential has had two separate businesses in its domestic market – a life insurance business and M&G, an asset manager. On Thursday the company said that it would merge the two to create “a leading savings and investments business ideally positioned to target growing customer demand for comprehensive financial solutions”. The life insurance operation – Prudential UK & Europe – is seen by analysts as a mature business. It stopped selling annuities last year and has recently put a £10bn back book up for sale, although the PruFund range is still selling well. M&G is known for its expertise in fixed income investments, but performance has stuttered in recent years. Last year the company recruited Anne Richards from Aberdeen Asset Management to lead a turnround. There has long been speculation about whether Prudential – which has big US and Asian operations as well as the UK business – will break itself up. Investors say that management has been more open to discussing the possibility in recent months. However there have always been question marks over how a separation could be achieved, and how the UK business could be split from the other parts of the group. Prudential chief executive Mike Wells said: M&G and Prudential UK&E have a long history of collaboration and we are fortunate to have two highly respected brands. Combining these businesses will allow us to better leverage our considerable scale and capabilities. In recent years, we have seen a convergence in the investments and savings markets with customers across all geographies and demographics demanding more comprehensive solutions to their financial needs. Bringing together these two high-quality businesses, while transitioning to a capital-light model, will enable M&G Prudential to increase its growth prospects by providing better outcomes for our millions of customers and in turn generate strong returns for our shareholders. The company also reported its results for the first half of the year on Thursday. Operating profits rose 5% to £2.4bn, while the dividend was increased by 12% to 14.5p per share.	christh	Read Full Thread Reply
27/7/2017 11:29	Yes the share price particularly strong in the last week which suggests half year figures will be positive. Also will be interesting to see if management update shareholders on their recent entry into Africa as a fourth leg of the business. Rumours are that UK is to be of less importance in the near future.	churchill2	Read Full Thread Reply
