Well, that is most frustrating. Our investment thesis on Legal & General is playing out nicely, if last week’s first-half results are anything to go by, but the share price is showing no interest at all.
We shall simply have to sit tight and console ourselves with the knowledge that we are farming a 9pc dividend yield, a figure that even beats inflation and one that is backed by a robust balance sheet.
The interims show that the life insurance, pensions and investment giant is seeing the anticipated benefit from higher interest rates, namely the chance to grow its institutional pensions business (LGRI), as firms look to offload their pension risk through what is known as a bulk annuity agreement.
