Analyst Visit To Delta Lloyd

CGNU PLC
11 December 2000


Analyst visit to CGNU's Netherlands subsidiary

CGNU hosted an analyst visit to the Netherlands for presentations on its 
Delta Lloyd Nuts Ohra (DLNO) businesses on Friday 8 December 2000.  
The presentations provided an overview of the Dutch insurance market, 
DLNO's market position and strategy, and reviewed progress of the merger
with Nuts Ohra.

Key points from the presentations:-

*  Delta Lloyd and Nuts Ohra merged in 1999 creating the 4th largest insurer 
in the Netherlands with £1.3 billion premium income and £25 billion in assets 
under management.  It has a particularly strong position in the pensions, 
life and health markets, which represent some 75% of its total premiums and 
over 90% of profits.  It is number one in the market for investment 
performance and has a strong intermediary and direct distribution 
capability, ranking 3rd and 2nd respectively in these channels.

*  The integration of the businesses following the merger is progressing well.
 
Cost savings at the end of September were £29m, of which £23m were annual 
savings.  These included £7m of annual savings from the German life business, 
Berlinische Lebens, which is managed by DLNO. Further savings will be targeted

through the integration of the general insurance and asset management back 
offices and combining the health businesses.

*  Delta Lloyd Nuts Ohra is one of the leading fund managers in the 
Netherlands and Ohra's award winning fund performance has led to substantial 
growth this year in assets under management.  Delta Lloyd Nuts Ohra achieved 
retail investment sales of £813m in the nine months to 30 September 2000 
(proforma nine months 1999 £163m).  These sales will be included in the 
Group's new business figures for the full year.

*  Changes in legislation to reduce tax incentives for life products will 
affect sales in the market.  Pensions are unaffected and become relatively 
more attractive along with mutual fund sales.  Both are key strengths of DLNO.

*  Health results have returned to profit following rating and actions taken 
to improve the quality of the portfolio acquired through the Nuts Ohra merger.

*  Rating and underwriting actions are in place to improve general insurance 
results.  Motor results have shown an improving trend this year and domestic 
results are achieving underwriting profits.  Larger commercial risks will be
exited including international and Bourse business.

All of the presentations are available in the investor centre on the group's

There were no discussions of current trading or profit forecasts made at the 
presentations.
