The company's core operating profit increased by 6% to £859m, but the overall operating profit, including non-retained businesses, fell by 2% to £905m. This drop was primarily due to market volatility and a weakening US dollar, which negatively impacted the firm's assets [3].
L&G AM's CEO, Antonio Simões, has been focusing on strategic initiatives to enhance the company's financial performance. These include the sale of non-core businesses, such as its US protection business and housebuilder Cala Group, and the expansion of its asset management arm. Additionally, L&G AM struck a partnership with Blackstone to access private credit assets, aiming to grow this segment to $20bn over the next five years [1, 4].
Despite the challenges, L&G AM is on track to achieve its three-year financial targets. The company proposed an interim dividend of 6.12p per share, in line with forecasts, and is actively pricing on or has visibility of £42bn of new deals in the next 12 months [1, 4].
