(g) Pension schemes
FRS17 'Retirement benefits' was issued in November 2000 but will not be
mandatory for the Group and the Company until the year ended 31 December 2003.
Prior to this, phased transitional disclosures are introduced and the table
below is an extract from these disclosures. FRS17 differs from the existing
accounting standard for pension costs (SSAP24) in a number of ways,
principally the choice of assumptions, and that the difference between the
market value of assets and the liabilities is immediately recognised in the
balance sheet under FRS17, whereas changes in assets and liabilities are
recognised on a smoothed basis under SSAP24. The effect on the Group net
assets and retained profit of substituting the FRS17 figures for the
corresponding SSAP24 balance sheet would be as follows:

Group capital structure
The Group maintains an efficient structure from a combination of equity
shareholders' funds, preference capital, subordinated debt and borrowings,
consistent with the Group's risk profile and the regulatory and market
requirements of its business.
The Group's capital, from all funding sources, has been allocated such that
the capital employed by trading operations is greater than the capital
provided by its shareholders and its subordinated debtholders. As a result,
the Group is able to enhance the returns earned on its equity capital.

At 30 June 2002 capital employed in our operations was lower at £18.1 billion
(31 December 2001: £19.5 billion, restated), primarily reflecting £293 million
reduction in shareholders' funds and the use of £1,188 million of assets
employed in the business to reduce internal and external debt.
In addition to its external funding sources, the Group has a number of
internal debt arrangements in place. These have allowed the assets supporting
technical liabilities to be invested into the pool of central capital for
use across the Group. They have also enabled the shareholders to deploy cash
from some parts of the business to others in order to fund growth. Although
intra-group loans in nature, they are counted as part of the capital base for
the purpose of capital management. All internal loans have been negotiated at
market rates and are appropriately serviced.
The ratio of the Group's external debt to shareholders' funds was 17% (2001
restated: 20%). Interest cover, which measures the extent to which external
interest costs are covered by achieved operating profit, was 14 times
(2001: 12 times).
Standard and Poor's have recently reaffirmed the financial strength rating of
AA (very strong security) in respect of the Group's principal operations.

Group capital structure (continued)
Capital management
In managing its capital, the Group aims to:
i. match the profile of its assets and liabilities, taking account of the
risks inherent in each business. In the case of the Group's life
operations, which have long-term liabilities, the majority of capital is
held in fixed income securities. A significant proportion of the capital
supporting the Group's general insurance and health operations is held in
equities, reflecting the relatively low risk profile of these businesses;
ii. maintain financial strength to support new business growth and satisfy
the requirements of its policyholders, regulators and rating agencies;
iii. retain financial flexibility by maintaining strong liquidity, including
significant unutilised committed credit lines, and access to a range of
capital markets; and
iv. allocate capital efficiently to support growth and repatriate excess
capital where appropriate.
An important aspect of the Group's overall capital management process is the
setting of target risk-adjusted rates of return for individual business units,
which are aligned to performance objectives and ensure that the Group is
focused on the creation of value for shareholders.
Risk based capital
The Group uses risk based capital as one of several measures to assess its
capital requirements for its general insurance businesses. Financial modelling
techniques enhance our practice of active capital management, ensuring
sufficient capital is available to protect against unforeseen events and
adverse scenarios and risk management. Reinsurance is actively used to limit
risk and capital requirements in the inherently volatile general insurance
business. Through reinsurance, exposure to loss is limited to £100 million for
any extra aggregation of events. Our aim continues to be the optimal usage of
capital through appropriate allocation to our businesses.
Our risk based capital model is part of a longer term development programme
for more complex risk monitoring techniques in part to meet future industry
standards. Within a few years we expect to agree capital requirements with the
regulator on the basis of our risk based capital models. This represents the
level of capital necessary to enable the general insurance business to meet
the statutory minimum solvency margin over a 5 year period with 99%
probability of not requiring further capital.
Our current risk based capital methodology for general insurance business
assesses insurance, market and credit risks and makes prudent allowance for
diversification benefits. We consider risks over a 5 year period allowing for
planned levels of business growth. Following the disposal of our US, London
Market and Courtage businesses, our risk based capital requirement may be
expressed as 36% of net written premiums.
Capital employed in our general insurance business after goodwill and adding
back the claims equalisation reserve was £4.6 billion at 30 June 2002 and
required capital on a risk basis was £3.3 billion, giving a surplus capital
position of £1.3 billion.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of the Group's shareholders' funds at 30 June 2002 to a
10% fall in the global equity markets or a rise of 1% in global interest rates
is as follows:

Post-tax internal rate of return on life and pensions new business
The total internal rate of return on life and pensions new business for the
Group was 16% (31 December 2001: 16%). The return is the discount rate at
which the present value of the post-tax cash flows expected to be earned over
the lifetime of the business written is equal to the initial capital required
to support the writing of the business. The capital includes the statutory
minimum solvency margin and amounts to £400 million (31 December 2001:
£800 million). This includes £100 million (31 December 2001: £200 million) of
solvency requirements.

Shareholders are offered the opportunity to participate in the Company's
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the 'Plan') which enables dividends to be
reinvested in the Company's shares at reduced dealing costs.
Shareholders who have previously elected to join the Plan need take no further
action as their cash dividend will automatically be used to purchase Aviva's
shares, on or around the dividend payment date, in accordance with the terms
of the Plan.
Shareholders who have not already joined the Plan and wish to do so should
contact the Company's Registrar, at the address below, in order to obtain full
details and a mandate form. Completed mandate forms must be returned to the
Registrar by no later than 25 October 2002 in order to participate in the Plan
for the 2002 interim dividend.
The Plan is available to ordinary shareholders, members of the Aviva Share
Account and members of the Group's employee profit sharing schemes.
