Avior Financials | Alexander Forbes | Coronation | PSG | JSE trading stats | Corporate credit impairments

• Alexander Forbes announced the sale of its short-term insurance business to Momentum Metropolitan for R1.9bn. We had previously valued the insurance business at c.R1.2bn. The valuation achieved at 14x FY '19 earnings is encouraging.
• Coronation Fund Managers announced Jun '19 AUM of R579bn. This is ahead of the R572bn we expected based on factsheet AUM. We estimate net outflows of c.R10bn for the quarter.
• PSG released an update following its AGM. The c.R2bn dividend from Zeder will give PSG optionality and support further investments in unlisted holdings.
• The JSE Ltd's trading statistics show a -16% y/y decline in cash equity value traded YTD.
• We are on a SA banks road show at the moment. We note that corporate credit growth has been similar to SA GDP since 2010 while aggregate CIB credit impairment charges have declined since 2013 levels.
