Aye, the duff broker was a blow, also other brokers in M.E. and Africa not achieving previous volumes will impact negatively, otherwise the rns read well, Latin America aglow, with aua up and business levels on the increase. Cash in the bank, no debt but is it all Jam tomorrow? Common in this game but I'll hold but not top up. All imho - good luck.
What are peoples thoughts on the companies future? The problems with brokers loosing money and the legal issues in europe are causing uncertainty and thats got to be why the share price is still going down slowly. I'm holding these for the long term even though the dividend is being cut by 50% next year, hope the new business plan works out in the long run......

Is this really going anywhere?
Just got in on this. Can't seem to find much info on this. Suggestions?
We have maintained our trend of increasing levels of new business during the quarter, with the Far East and Latin America now following the success achieved in the Middle East and Rest of World regions; New business for Hansard International Limited ("Hansard International") for Q3 2017 was £38.9m in PVNBP ("Present Value of New Business Premiums") terms, approximately 28% higher than Q3 2016; As previously announced, our strategic alliance with Union Insurance Company PSC in the UAE was launched during Q3 2017; Assets under administration have increased since the last quarter by £41m or 4% to £1.04 billion; The Group traded profitably during the period and remains strongly capitalised. Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: "It is pleasing to see such strong rates of new business growth and for it to extend across all the regions in which we operate. We are delighted with the positive reception from our distribution partners in the UAE around our alliance with Union Insurance and look forward to achieving growth in that area in the coming year."
the fastest horse in the race, but gets round the course intact. Good rns this morning HSD...well done on the steady progress, now back to sleep for a year...GL all.
Dinoken - not been in this bb for an age, hence delayed response. It's been confirmed 50% commission up front and 50% over he life of the policy for life insurance regular savings with a cap of 100% of annual premium payable. It won't be two years that's for sure. The insurance authority want it implemented very quickly. However providers need to roll out products and systems to support the new products and charging structured.
im with you - got 10k shares - looks good to me even at the reduced divi......amazed at the drop......still people do what people do!
for steadying the ship? No doubt short termers have bailed after the divi, always happens and good luck to them...me, I'm looking forward to a fruitful Union Insurance alliance and increasing growth 'out east'. Shame about the divi cut but if it strengthens the business, then needs must. Anyway, holding firm and fully aware that it's AIMVHO! Good luck all.
Today a Director buy of 24K+ @101.5 Nice one :-)
Share price down I reckon because of divi cut by 50%. The market has got this wrong IMO because profits are up slightly, increasing geographic areas ie. UAE. The cut in divi is for investment in future growth.
I thought the results were decent. A profit of £7 million, compared to a loss last year, increase in new business and yet the shares suffer a 10% decline? In 2018 the dividend will be reduced to bolster investment. What's wrong with that? I've been a holder for five years. It pays a decent dividend. It's not a share to trade.
problem child still misbehaving: profits down, divi cut for 2018..for better or worse, my 'long term holder' status confirmed today. GL all.
shape..http://www.hansard.com/unioninfinity/news/2017/union-infinity-launch-event. We shall see, although some fine Orbital inspired beats in there! GL all
There may be a difference between the UAE definition of " broker commission" and the European definition! There certainly was when I was last there!
DESERTRED - UAE commission ban may face 'two-year delay' according to some sources, or do you know otherwise ?
Hansard are too late to the party in the UAE, commission ban iminent, poor product range that without commission no advisor will sell and their main USP with brokers, technology is being over taken with each new upgrade competitors are launching.
solid rns today from fave divi share, giant leaps out east and Africa...143's some ask smiler, maybe give it a year or two, although AIMVVHO, DYOR etc. Luck to all.
I am a newbie to this share but I like the potential of this share and dividends is v atractive would be interested in people's thoughts on target getting to 143 is a realistic going off figures
Don't know why the sp has taken such a tanking today, probably the same reason the sp increased so much on Friday
£737K trade is definitely a buy
Somebody unloading a big holding this morning, taking advantage of the recent strong performance or something more sinister?
What the hell was today's rise about? Up 11.45%...!! I can't complain with 24% profit in my holding in 10mths
