Prudential is well positioned to capture growth in Asia.

Prudential reported a strong first half, with operating profit up 6% to GBP 2 billion. This was driven by strong results in Asia and the United Kingdom, offset by a fall in profits from M&G, the investment management arm. We will maintain our fair value estimate of GBX 1,600 per share and our no-moat rating as Prudential continues to pursue its defensive growth strategy targeting the underinsured middle class in Asia and its asset-gathering strategy in the U.K. and U.S.
