Net investment result

273

The Net investment result of £298m (2023: £273m) is the net impact on the Group from the return on investments offset by similar movements on insurance and investment contract liabilities. The principal driver over the period is the changes in the value of the investment assets and net insurance liabilities due to changes in long-term interest rates. These amounts will not completely offset for a number of reasons, including: • the term structures for financial investments held and net insurance liabilities are not identical; • the existence of surplus assets held on the balance sheet which do not back insurance liabilities and the value of which are subject to changes in interest rates; and • the deduction of a credit default allowance from the interest rate used to value insurance liabilities.
