Strategy
Our strategy is to recreate policyholder value.
Maximising the return on policyholder assets subject to meeting solvency requirements
- It is a driving intention of the Board to distribute all of the Society’s assets including its solvency capital to with-profits policyholders as fairly as possible over time.
- Through BlackRock, our investment managers, we will get the best investment returns we can and by matching our cashflow requirements, we can reduce risk and the need for capital.
- Our aim is that with-profits policyholders leaving the Society receive their fair share of capital, provided there is enough left for those who remain.
Providing the best value for money costbase
- We will ensure we have the appropriate cost profile for a business in run off.
Achieving maximum Government compensation for policyholders
- Government announced total compensation of £1.5bn tax free. Payments commenced mid 2011.
- Our focus now is to support the Treasury with the provision of policyholder data to facilitate payments.
- We will continue to work constructively with EMAG and other policyholder groups.
