Legal & General forecasts a 6%-9% growth in core operating profit by 2025, aligning with its strategic goals, and plans a capital-light asset management strategy.
LONDON (Reuters) -British insurer Legal & General expects 2025 group core operating earnings per share to grow between 6% and 9%, in line with its three-year targets, it said on Tuesday.
It will announce a strategy for its asset management unit later on Tuesday, including plans to become a more capital-light business, sell more third-party financial products and provide clients with more sophisticated investment solutions.
The company reiterated its 2028 targets, which include delivering 500 to 600 million pounds ($679 to $814 million) in operating profit by increasing earnings through fees charged to clients while reducing costs.
Last month, Legal & General announced the merger of two of its investment units as part of efforts to cut costs and simplify its business.
