Utmost sees 22% growth in AUM to £36.7bn

Specialist life assurance provider Utmost Group saw assets under administration (AUA) grow to £36.7bn over 2020.
This was driven by the completion of the Equitable Life business transfer early last year that added £6bn to AUA according to annual results published today.
The results up to 31 December 2020 demonstrate how the company has weathered the pandemic.
Value of new business was £30m last year, an increase of 7% compared to 2019 of £28m.
Utmost Group’s principal businesses are Utmost International and Utmost Life and Pensions, which together are responsible for around £37bn of primarily unit-linked policyholder assets for c. 510,000 customers.
Finding the best fund managers and sectors is a tough ask.
Few have the resources and time to look into the matter properly.
Fortunately more than 60 leading fund managers have been nominated in FE fundinfo’s Alpha Manager Awards this year.
This recognises their achievements in outperforming the volatile markets of 2020.
The list is worth a read.
