Insurer Phoenix posts profit jump, hikes cash generation target

Aug 6 (Reuters) - Insurer Phoenix Group Holdings Plc PHNX.L on Thursday posted an 11% rise in half-year earnings and raised its 2020 cash generation target as it benefited from a flurry of deals with British companies offloading their corporate pension schemes.

The FTSE 100-listed company, which has 248 billion pounds in assets under administration, said operating profit climbed to 361 million pounds ($475.62 million) for the six months ended June 30, from 325 million pounds a year earlier.
