The two principal stock market indices of which Amlin shares are a constituent are the FTSE250 index and the FTSE All Share Non-Life Insurance index. Amlin’s total shareholder return (TSR) has signficantly outperformed both indices over the past five years, as demonstrated in the above left hand chart. In 2007 alone Amlin’s TSR underperformed these indices, as shown in the above right hand chart.

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. At the year end Amlin was ranked at 158 in the FTSE 350 Index by market capitalisation (2006: 149).

The number of shares traded on the London Stock Exchange again increased in 2007 with on average 2.6 million shares traded daily, compared with 2.3 million in 2006. An average of 0.66% of Amlin’s shares were traded each day in 2007 (2006: 0.41%). This was a similar percentage (of a larger market capitalisation) to most of our fellow FTSE 250 listed Lloyd’s insurers.
