Avior Financials | Peregrine investment performance | JSE trading stats | OOBA mortgage stats | Life Insurance sector valuation

• We analyse Peregrine Capital and Citadel's funds performance and net flows. The funds appear to have maintained their performance throughout a difficult quarter for global markets.

• Coronation announced Dec '18 AUM of R550bn, ahead of the R548bn we expected based on factsheet data.

• The JSE Ltd's trading statistics (to 18 Jan ‘19) show 30.1% YoY decline in cash equity value traded YTD.

• The Q4 '18 Ooba mortgage origination stats show that the trends from H1 '18 continued into the second half of the year. Competition among banks in a low growth environment has increased.

• The JSE Life insurance index is currently trading at its seven-year historic average (11.8x forward P/E). In our view, the FY '18 and H1 '19 earnings cycle will mark the bottom of the earnings cycle for SA insurers.
