Following Chesnara's half-year 2026 results presentation, Dr Brian Moretta, Financials analyst at Hardman & Co, holds a Q&A with CEO Steve Murray and CFO Tom Howard of Chesnara.
With the integration of Chesnara Life already generating structural day-one synergies of around £51m, we hear how Chesnara is continuing to realise benefits from its acquisition strategy. Steve and Tom chat with Brian about Chesnara’s M&A strategy, the outlook for Scottish Widows Europe, the operational performance in Sweden and the Netherlands and the potential for AI to make further efficiencies in future migrations. They also examine operating capital generation, reinsurance and foreign exchange hedging, balance-sheet opportunities and Chesnara’s longer-term capital management strategy, including why recurring management actions are expected to contribute around 30% of annual OCG.
