L&G 2002 Final Results Pt4

Legal & General Group PLC 27 February 2003 Part 4 Legal & General Investment Management - supplementary information Profits - MSS basis In another successful year, profits from institutional fund management grew 22% to £50m (2001: £41m). Despite the falls in global equity markets during 2002, corporate pensions produced an unchanged operating profit of £34m. Revenue growth benefited from record new business levels of £13.4bn (2001: £13.2bn) together with a modest increase in average pooled fund fee rates. Although the number of pension fund clients rose by 8% to 2,220, rigorous cost management ensured that the associated expenses grew by only 4% year on year. Our growing client-base of index-tracking customers provides an opportunity to cross-sell higher fee rate actively managed products. The Property fund management subsidiary achieved further external asset growth in 2002, leading to enhanced profitability. External property partners new business was £159m during the year and external property funds under management now total over £1bn. Legal & General Ventures, the private equity arm, achieved an increased profit of £5m (2001: £3m). Over the year, it made three new investments and successfully completed three realisations. Total funds under management increased to £114bn (2001: £113bn), despite a 25% fall in the FTSE All Share index. The stability of funds under management reflected both £14bn of gross new funds won and a 42% exposure to fixed interest, property and cash in the funds under management. Profits - Achieved Profits basis Managed pension funds business is written as a long term contract and so the results of the business are also presented on an Achieved Profits basis. The embedded value assumptions are detailed in Part 2 of this announcement. Institutional fund management business profits increased by 21% to £92m (2001: £76m) of which managed pension funds represented £83m (2001: £70m). The new business contribution from managed pension funds increased by 19% to £32m (2001: £27m) reflecting changes in the mix of business. The contribution from in-force business was unchanged at £45m. Fund Performance Legal & General Investment Management delivered good investment performance across its range of funds in 2002. All index funds met their tracking parameters. The majority of actively-managed funds outperformed their benchmark or peer group median. Performance in Fixed Interest was particularly strong: the Corporate Bond pensions managed fund was the top performing fund in its peer group in the three years to end-2002, and our flagship retail funds, the Fixed Interest Trust and the High Income Trust, delivered top quartile performance.
