| LGRI and Retail Retirement's new business metrics are presented based on a single target long-term asset portfolio. At certain period ends, depending upon the quantum and timing of pension risk transfer (PRT) volumes, we may have sourced more or less of the high quality assets targeted to support that business. At period end, the profit impact of the difference between actual assets held (including alternative surplus assets where suitable) and the long-term asset mix is reflected in investment variance. | ||||||||||
| Net release from operations for LGRI and Retail is defined as release from operations plus new business surplus/(strain). | ||||||||||
| Release from operations and net release from operations for LGC and LGIM represents the operating profit (net of tax). | ||||||||||

| 3. Other investment variance includes a negative variance in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme, reflecting the impact of the acquisition of annuity assets from LGRI and Retail Retirement, and the difference between the IAS 19 and annuity discount rates. This was partially offset by a positive variance from the |
|||
| 4. M&A related and other variances includes gains and losses, expenses and intangible amortisation relating to acquisitions, disposals and restructuring as well as business start-up costs. | |||
| Investment variance includes differences between actual and long-term expected investment retuon traded and real assets (including direct investments), economic assumption changes caused by changes in market conditions or expectations (e.g. credit default and inflation), the impact of any difference between the actual allocated asset mix and the single target long-term asset mix on new pension risk transfer business, and the yield associated with assets held for future new pension risk transfer business from the valuation discount rate. | |||
| The long-term expected investment retuis based on opening economic assumptions applied to the assets under management at the start of the reporting year. The assumptions underlying the calculation of the expected returns for traded equity, commercial property and residential property are based on market consensus forecasts and long-term historic average returns expected to apply through the cycle. The long-term expected investment returns are: | |||
| 6 months | 6 months | Full year | |
| 2022 | 2021 | 2021 | |
| Equities | 7% | 7% | 7% |
| Commercial property | 5% | 5% | 5% |
| Residential property1 | 3.5% | RPI + 50bps | RPI + 50bps |
| 1. In previous years the assumption RPI + 50bps was in line with average historical returns. Due to the current spike in inflation and in order to keep the rate aligned to average historical returns, it was updated to 3.5% in 2022. | |||
| Additionally, the LGC alternative asset portfolio comprises investments in housing, specialist commercial real estate, clean energy, and SME finance. The long-term expected investment retuis on average between 8% and 10%, in line with our stated investment objectives. Rates of retuspecific to each asset are determined at the point of underwriting and reviewed and updated annually. The expected investment retuincludes assumptions on appropriate discount rates and inflation as well as sector specific assumptions including retail and commercial property yields and power prices. |

| 1. Assuming a recalculation of the Transitional Measure on Technical Provisions that partially offsets the impact on Risk Margin. | ||||
| 2. In the interest rate down stress negative rates are allowed, i.e. there is no floor at zero rates. | ||||
| 3. The spread sensitivity applies to the group's corporate bond (and similar) holdings, with no change in long-term default expectations, post management actions. Restructured lifetime mortgages are excluded as the underlying exposure is mostly to property. | ||||
| 4. The stress for AA bonds is twice that for |
||||
| 5. No stress for bonds rated BBB and above. For bonds rated BB and below the stress is 100bps. The spread widening on the total portfolio is smaller than 2bps as the group holds less than 2% in bonds rated BB and below. The impact is primarily an increase in SCR arising from the modelled cost of trading downgraded bonds back to a higher rating in the stress scenarios in the SCR calculation. | ||||
| 6. Credit migration stress covers the cost of an immediate big letter downgrade on 20% of all assets where the capital treatment depends on a credit rating (including corporate bonds, and sale and leaseback rental strips; lifetime mortgage senior notes are excluded). Downgraded assets in our annuities portfolio are assumed to be traded to their original credit rating, so the impact is primarily a reduction in Own Funds from the loss of value on downgrade. The impact of the sensitivity will depend upon the market levels of spreads at the balance sheet date. | ||||
| 7. This relates primarily to equity exposure in LGC but will also include equity-based mutual funds and other investments that receive an equity stress (for example, certain investments in subsidiaries). Some assets have factors that increase or decrease the stress relative to general equity levels via a beta factor. | ||||
| 8. Assets stressed include residual values from sale and leaseback, the full amount of lifetime mortgages and direct investments treated as property. | ||||
| 9. Assuming a 2/3 reduction in the Risk Margin, allowing for offset from an equivalent reduction in the Transitional Measure on Technical Provisions. | ||||
| The above sensitivity analysis does not reflect all management actions which could be taken to reduce the impacts. In practice, the group actively manages its asset and liability positions to respond to market movements. Other than in the interest rate and inflation stresses, we have not allowed for the recalculation of TMTP following a stress. | ||||
| The impacts of these stresses are not linear therefore these results should not be used to interpolate or extrapolate the impact of a smaller or larger stress. The results of these tests are indicative of the market conditions prevailing at the balance sheet date. The results would be different if performed at an alternative reporting date. | ||||
