. Presentation slides will be available online shortly beforehand (at the same

Today's event will present our leading Retail business and how we are set up
to meet the significant opportunities in Defined Contribution (DC) and
Annuities over the next decade.

 

Our Retail business serves 12.4 million customers in the UK across four core
markets: Workplace, Annuities, Lifetime Mortgages and Protection. In each we
are a top three provider, operating at scale, and drawing on synergies from
across the Group to retain a greater share of the value chain and enhance our
competitive edge. Our in-house administration teams deliver outstanding
customer service, and our clients benefit from world class investment
expertise and scale efficiencies from our management business.

 

Ideally positioned to capture the significant Workplace DC and Annuities
opportunity

 

The UK retirement landscape is undergoing material structural transformation,
driven by demographics, regulatory and policy change. This transformation is
expected to drive significant growth in both DC assets and flows into retail
retirement solutions.

 

As responsibility for retirement shifts from employers to individuals,
Workplace DC assets will double to £1.5trn(( 1  (#_ftn1) )) by 2034, with
annual retail annuities volumes growing 2.5x to £20bn(( 2  (#_ftn2) )).

 

L&G is ideally positioned to seize this opportunity as the UK's leading DC
and Retirement platform. We manage over £300bn of Retail wealth assets in the
UK(( 3  (#_ftn3) )), we are the largest UK DC asset manager with over £200bn
in Assets Under Management (AUM) and the UK's largest annuity provider.

 

Over £100bn of the DC assets we manage are originated through our Retail
Workplace business, where we provide pension administration to our 5.2 million
customers(( 4  (#_ftn4) )). As our Workplace portfolio matures and assets
scale, our tailored digital guidance and retirement solutions will generate
increased flows to drawdown and annuities at retirement- strengthening our
leading position in open market annuity sales. We will also unlock further
operational efficiencies across our Retail business through continued
investment in new technologies.

 

We have set two near-term targets for Retail as we address these
opportunities:

·    We will achieve £40-50bn of Workplace DC net flows (2024-28).
Workplace DC flows compound with regular contributions and offer a scaled,
low-cost way of acquiring assets and customers who we support to and through
retirement.

·   We will deliver 4-6% Retail operating profit CAGR (2024-28)(( 5 
(#_ftn5) )) driven from the release of reliable earnings in Annuities and
Protection, capacity created from our growing annuities asset portfolio and
from increasing operating leverage in Workplace.

Retail growth is also a strong contributor to Asset Management earnings, with
growth in Workplace DC and annuity assets expected to contribute over 40%
towards Asset Management's cumulative ANNR target(( 6  (#_ftn6) )).

 

Over the next decade, growth in Retail operating profit will accelerate and we
will see a shift in profit mix. By 2034, 40% of the profits originated by
Retail(( 7  (#_ftn7) )) will be fee-based earnings, a significant increase
from below 15% in 2024. Over the same period, we expect the Workplace DC(( 8 
(#_ftn8) )) operating margin to double driven by improved operating leverage.

 

Over the longer term, Retail will replace PRT as the growth driver of our UK
annuity asset portfolio. As PRT assets begin to stabilise, we expect sustained
portfolio growth, with average growth of 5-6% p.a. for the next two decades.

 

Group trading update(( 9  (#_ftn9) )) and outlook

 

We have had significant successes throughout the year as we build momentum and
deliver on our strategy.

·     In Institutional Retirement we have written, or are exclusive on,
£11bn of PRT volumes year to date, including £10.2bn of UK transactions.

·    In Asset Management, we have reached £71bn of Private Markets AUM and
delivered Annualised Net New Revenue of £29m.

·    In Retail, we have written over £1.2bn of annuities and continue to
see growing Workplace DC contributions with net new flows of £5bn. We have
good cadence on Workplace DC scheme wins, with £3bn of new scheme assets to
transition to L&G in the next 18 months.

·   Our Corporate Investments unit assets now stand at c.£500m (originally
c.£2bn), following a total of 15 disposals since it was established in June
2024.

We are on track to deliver FY25 Group core operating EPS growth at the higher
end of our 6-9% range and growth in Operational Surplus Generation of greater
than 3% (FY 24: £1,378m).
