Amlin’s increasing net tangible assets per share and relatively strong share rating are reflected in its shares having maintained a higher market capitalisation than those of its Lloyd’s peer group over recent years. Amlin’s shares remain a member of the Insurance Index but on 22 December 2008 they left the FTSE 250 and entered the FTSE 100 index for the first time. At the year end Amlin was ranked at 93 in the FTSE 350 index by market capitalisation (2007: 158). The number of shares traded on the London Stock Exchange again increased in 2008 with an average 3.0 million shares traded daily (2007: 2.6 million). This represented an average of 0.63% of Amlin’s shares traded each day (2007: 0.66%).
