Aviva has extended its asset management partnership with Aviva Investors, though no verifiable public details of the specific partnership terms are currently available. Publicly accessible information instead focuses on Aviva's broader financial targets, Aviva Investors' recent financing activity, and product developments in private markets and asset allocation.

In 2024, Aviva set out financial targets including integration of Direct Line with expected £225m of cost synergies and £500m of capital benefits, alongside a goal of 11% operating earnings per share growth through 2028. These targets sit within Aviva's published investment case and strategy materials for investors.

Aviva Investors has recently provided financing for two campus buildings at Cardiff and Vale College under the Welsh Mutual Investment Model, with both facilities expected to be operational for the 2027/2028 academic year. The transaction was disclosed by Aviva Investors as part of its company news on real assets financing activity.

Aviva has also announced the "My Future Vision" default fund strategy, which is designed to allocate 20–25% of assets to private markets, including private equity, infrastructure and real estate. The strategy will be available from 1 October 2025 and is described by Aviva as supporting its Mansion House Compact and Mansion House Accord pledges.

Aviva Investors expects global growth of around 3% in 2026–2027. The firm is neutral on fixed income duration and is bullish on equities. These expectations were reported in an external interview covering Aviva Investors' outlook for global growth and markets.
