Aviva Investors

Multi-asset

Aviva has said it expects its acquisition of rival Friends Life to generate extra revenue of £600m over the next two years, including and cost savings for the company of £225m.

The cost of launching new fund ranges and boosting distribution left Aviva Investors with flat performance in 2014, as the firm said its wider turnaround is far from completion.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has fined Aviva Investors £17.6m for failings in how it managed conflicts of interest.
