(Sharecast News) - Shares in Aviva jumped to their highest level since 2007 as the UK insurer posted a 22% rise in half-year operating profit on the back of price hikes and growth in premium income.
The company posted an operating profit of £1.07bn for the six-months to June 30. UK & Ireland general insurance premiums rose 9% to £4.14bn, while the wealth business saw net flows increase by 16% to £5.8bn.
The interim dividend was lifted 10% to 13.1p. Aviva's share price jumped 4% - its highest level since the banking industry caused the global financial crisis.
