The Association of British Insurers today reported that UK insurance and long-term savings providers invested £10.9bn from annuity business into UK productive assets in 2024, as part of their £100bn decade-long pledge.
Real assets dominated the disclosed allocation, with £3.8bn directed to UK real estate and £2.7bn into utilities, including energy and water supply. A further £1bn went into transport, backing assets such as buses and ports, while the remaining £3.4bn was spread across manufacturing, construction, and human health and social work.
The figures come from the ABI’s first update report tracking delivery of the industry’s productive finance commitment, which focuses on investments written against annuity business and made directly into UK-focused productive assets. The ABI said it is monitoring progress through its Investment Delivery Forum, set up to oversee how insurers channel long-term balance sheet capital into the real economy.
