The Singapore asset was initially expected to sell for £800 million , but in the end sold

for £937 million .

Minority?

The Chinese asset (Aviva-COFCO Life Insurance Co., Ltd.) is a joint 50/50 venture with conglomerate Cofco

Aviva own 74% of Aviva Life Insurance Company India Limited.

Not being publicly quoted makes the value of these stakes harder to ascertain.

I believe Aviva completed the sale its 25.9 % stake in Singapore assets for over £900 million

last week

''The Parliamentary Ombudsman has told the Government to compensate women for failing to adequately inform them their state pension age was delayed.''

What a load of BALLACKS - from Kenneth Clarkes budget speech in 1993 (yes 31 years ago) -

STATE PENSION AGE - '' Finally,I can announce one further decision which will have little immediate effect, but will make a considerable difference to the affordability of the modern welfare state in the next century. After careful consideration, the Government has decided that the state pension age should eventually be equalised at 65. The change will be phased in over ten years, starting in the year 2010''

''The population in the 1940s was around 45million ''

Those indigenous and their descendants probably number about the same today. Shame migrants in such a short timescale have increased the population so much , fuel for the state pension ponzi scheme and fuel for property prices due to population growth always ahead of speed of property development.

Should never have allowed the start of the influx of people after WW2, allowing people to stay permanently - should have been on a work visa basis from the start. They may have resulted today in a much lower population but one in which there was no shortfall in property and thus being affordable to most. Unfortunately the genie cannot be put back in the bottle.

The indigenous will very soon become the minority population.

Btw Mickb - there is no real poverty in the UK today

Lloyds made additional investments in the year of £1.3 Billion and an additional

£250 million into the pension scheme, so no good simply looking at net profits minus

shareholder returns thinking that the difference could be paid out with a 'special' dividend

''attention seeking… Quick Finger''

even more embarrassment for you - I made one simple post -

YOU then wanted some attention by making a pathetic and incorrect stupid post.

The more stupid posts you make in response the more your embarrassment will get.

how embarrassing for you

''They must have some very good software or quick fingers to catch “over 495” , it was only there for seconds.''

and?

what has that got to do with the English flag not being on an England team football shirt.?

The thin blue line badge represents something - whether it is allowed or not.

The black in the thin blue line flag represents the fallen, and obviously the blue line for the police.

Nom

idiot.

The Thin Blue Line gang badge was created to represent something within the force?

An England football team should have the English flag

''I believe a drop to the low 40s again will send long term investors over the edge''

that may be the case for those with a certain disposition making stock market investments not a suitable for them, but for others it would give yet another opportunity to secure 14% + returns.

They decided to change the English flag - must be because it offends certain groups.

You really are a dumb guy aren't you - a total embarrassment.

I sold at over 495p.

The share price was over 495p for about a total of half an hour - NOT seconds.

What is it you didn't understand about timestamps 13 mins apart on posts showing an above 495p price ??

OU

btw and stupid - the share price was over 495p for a total of about half an hour during the course of the day.

if the Rosneft asset was ever written back onto the BP balance sheet, it would currently be worth about 13 Billion dollars. In addition there would be accrued dividends

''That Lti is because HMG are not so influential''

The BOD's run Lloyds NOT the government, as is the case of Aviva. In any case not relevant to buybacks.

''I have fair bit in BP, and again, should Russia ever pay back the capital accrued, you can bet HMG will ensure, with the help of vile protesters that it must be 'given' to Ukraine.''

If the large capital value of the 19.75% stake in Rosneft (which BP wanted to offload) and dividends being accrued from it is ever unlocked, they will be assets belonging to us. the shareholders - NO ONE else

Less than 3 weeks to go before a relative 1.84p per share reduction in share price purchases for MS .

Fakey you will have to pay this IF holding a 'sell position'

Lloyds continued to rise in valuation, enabled some to find alternative pastures.

The 2023 buyback turned out far better than my hoped for purchase of 4 Billion shares.

A lot more sellers now required to get to another hoped for 4 Billion share purchase amount.

Aviva continues to impress - now closing in on the £5 level - today sold the shares purchased at 379p

3I has continued it's fantastic performance - currently still over £27 per share.

I have said that I would never sell any of my remaining 3I shares, but when most of the value

is in the retailer 'ACTION' where it has been over a 100 bagger on the investment made, and 3i is now priced at a large premium, it may be time to reconsider.

Not good to have an investment company with such a large weighting in one investment.

Ideally a flotation of 'ACTION' would be good at some point as a way to reduce exposure.

3I own more than half of 'ACTION'
