The PRT business is still going well, inflation remains an impediment to a strong P&C improvement, retail customers seem more interested in the rising cost of living than savings’ products and Aviva investors see no real signs of an improvement. This is the same story as in recent quarters and, in that context, our thesis remains the same.

GenAI: How to Use It

You''ve been here before, right? Blockchain, the Metaverse - and now GenAI. Could this time really be different and the hype justified? The answer to this question is rooted in how GenAI can be used in the real world. In this report we thus challenge our sector teams to identify GenAI use-cases within their industries - and those companies likely to pioneer them.

Our current fair value remains at 65p but this is likely to rise as the Group delivers on its significant potential.
