Aviva plc investor and analyst briefing on Health business

Aviva plc ("Aviva" or the "Group") is today hosting an 'In Focus' investor and analyst briefing on its Health business. The event, which commences at 10:00am (BST), will be hosted by Charlotte Jones, Group CFO, and presented by Doug Brown, CEO, Insurance, Wealth & Retirement, and Steve Bridger, Managing Director, Health. 

Health is a core component of Aviva's strategy as it accelerates growth in capital-light areas, grows customer numbers and serves more of their needs. It plays a critical role as part of Aviva's insurance proposition, because of the fundamental, and increasing, importance of health to all of Aviva's customers and to the whole UK population.

The UK health market is experiencing strong and sustained growth, which is set to continue.

Aviva is the number three player, with leading products and a high-performing business that is delivering strong growth and profitability.

Aviva is confident in the future for this business, and aims to deliver £100m of Health operating profit by 2026, underpinned by continued top-line growth and maintaining strong underwriting profitability.

Presentation arrangements

Today's presentation and analyst Q&A will be live-streamed on www.aviva.com, and a recording will be made available on the website shortly after the event. Analysts are invited to attend in person. Presentation slides will be released on Aviva's website shortly before the event.
