The firm focused on non-life legacy insurance and program management reports pretax profit of GBP30.2 million for 2020, down from GBP38.1 million the year before.

"The growth in the Legacy Insurance business may require external capital in the near term until our Program Management business creates enough free cash flow to support this need. During this period, while we are in growth mode and remain capital consumptive, we will adopt a progressive cash dividend policy with a payout ratio between 25% and 50% of our pre-tax operating profit, the best proxy for cash earnings," company says.
