1. UK regular premium investment sales include SIPP products. These are similar in nature to pension products and their payment pattern is stable and predictable and accordingly they have been capitalised. Regular premium SIPP sales for the 6 months to 30 June 2009 totalled £2.3 million (2008: £15.7 million) and have been capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation factor of 5.0 (2008: 5.0). As such, regular premium SIPP sales have produced an overall contribution to investment sales of £11.5 million (2008: £78 million) out of the UK investment sales of £418 million (2008: £698 million).

D3 - Sensitivity analysis

The group uses a number of sensitivity test-based risk management tools to understand the volatility of earnings, the volatility of its capital requirements, and to manage its capital more efficiently. Primarily MCEV, Financial Condition Reporting (a medium-term projection of the financial health of the business under a variety of economic and operating scenarios), and increasingly Individual Capital Assessment (ICA) are used. Sensitivities to economic and operating experience are regularly produced on all of our financial performance measurements as part of our decision-making and planning process, and as part of the framework for identifying and quantifying the risks that each of its business units, and the group as a whole are exposed to.

For long-term business in particular, sensitivities of MCEV performance indicators to changes in both economic and non-economic experience are continually used to manage the business and to inform the decision-making process. More information on MCEV sensitivities can be found in the presentation of results in the MCEV section of this announcement.

Life insurance and investment contracts

The nature of long-term business is such that a number of assumptions are made in compiling the financial statements. Assumptions are made about investment returns, expenses, mortality rates, and persistency in connection with the in-force policies for each business unit. Assumptions are best estimates based on historic and expected experience of the business.

General insurance and health business

General insurance and health claim liabilities are estimated by using standard actuarial claims projection techniques. These methods extrapolate the claims development for each accident year based on the observed development of earlier years. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made as projections are based on assumptions implicit in the historic claims development on which the projections are based. As such, in the analysis below, the sensitivity of general insurance claim liabilities is primarily based on the financial impact of changes to the reported loss ratio.

Some results of sensitivity testing for long-term business and general insurance and health business are set out below. For each sensitivity test the impact of a change in a single factor is shown, with other assumptions left unchanged.

Sensitivity factor	Description of sensitivity factor applied
Interest rate and investment return	The impact of a change in market interest rates by a 1% increase or decrease. The test allows consistently for similar changes to investment returns and movements in the market value of backing fixed interest securities.
Equity/property market values	The impact of a change in equity/property market values by ± 10%.

The increased sensitivity to interest rates at 30 June 2009 relates mainly to changes in market rates, derivatives and hedging policy in the Netherlands.

The impact on the group's results from sensitivity to these assumptions can also be found in the MCEV sensitivities included in the alternative method of reporting long-term business profits section.

Limitations of sensitivity analysis

The above tables demonstrate the effect of a change in a key assumption while other assumptions remain unchanged. In reality, there is correlation between the assumptions and other factors. It should also be noted that these sensitivities are non-linear, and larger or smaller impacts should not be interpolated or extrapolated from these results.

The sensitivity analyses do not take into consideration that the group's assets and liabilities are actively managed. Additionally, the financial position of the group may vary at the time that any actual market movement occurs. For example, our financial risk management strategy aims to manage the exposure to market fluctuations. As investment markets move past various trigger levels, management actions could include selling investments, changing investment portfolio allocation, adjusting bonuses credited to policyholders, and taking other protective action.

A number of the business units use passive assumptions to calculate their long-term business liabilities. Consequently, the actual impact of a change in the assumptions may not have any impact on the liabilities, whereas assets are held at market value on the statement of financial position. In these circumstances, the different measurement bases for liabilities and assets may lead to volatility in shareholder equity. Similarly, for general insurance liabilities, the interest rate sensitivities only affect profit and equity where explicit assumptions are made regarding interest (discount) rates or future inflation.

Other limitations in the above sensitivity analyses include the use of hypothetical market movements to demonstrate potential risk that only represent the group's view of possible near-term market changes that cannot be predicted with any certainty; and the assumption that all interest rates move in an identical fashion.

Shareholder Services

Managing your shareholding

Our Registrar, Equiniti, maintains the Company's Register of Members and if you have any queries in respect of your shareholding, please contact them directly using the contact details provided on page 140. In addition to assisting with general queries, Equiniti can also help with the following:

Amalgamating your shareholding

If you receive more than one copy of our communications, it could be because you have more than one record on the share register. To avoid duplicate mailings, Equiniti can arrange for your accounts to be amalgamated.

Dividend payments direct to your bank account

Instead of having your dividends paid by cheque, you can, if you wish, have them credited directly into your bank or building society account on the dividend payment date. This reduces the risk of cheques getting lost in the post and is also quicker and more convenient as payment is credited automatically on the payment date. Your tax voucher will be sent to your registered address as usual. If you would like to set up a dividend mandate, you can do so via our website www.aviva.com/dividendmandate or by contacting Equiniti to request a mandate form.

Consolidated tax vouchers

If you are a private shareholder who is currently receiving
dividends paid directly into your bank or building society account, you will receive one consolidated tax voucher each year instead of a voucher with each dividend payment, unless you request otherwise.

If you live overseas, an Overseas Payment Service is available for certain countries, which may allow you to receive your dividends directly in your bank account in your local currency.*

* Please note that a payment charge will be deducted from each dividend payment
before conversion into your chosen currency.

Scrip Dividend Scheme

The Aviva Scrip Dividend Scheme gives you the opportunity to increase your shareholding in the Company by choosing to receive your dividends in the form of new ordinary shares instead of cash. If you have not yet joined the Scrip Dividend Scheme but would like to do so, please contact Equiniti and request a mandate form. You should ensure that your completed mandate form is received by Equiniti no later than 20 October 2009 in order to be effective for the 2009 interim dividend. Further details of the Aviva Scrip Dividend Scheme are included on the Company's website www.aviva.com/dividend

ID fraud/unsolicited mail

Share-related fraud and identity theft still affects many shareholders and we urge you to continue to be vigilant. If you receive any unsolicited mail offering advice, you should inform Equiniti immediately. More information on this can be found on our website at www.aviva.com/shareholderupdates

Corporate nominee

We offer a corporate nominee service, the Aviva Share Account, for shareholders who prefer not to appear on the share register. If you choose to join the nominee account, your personal details will not be entered on our share register but you will have the same rights as registered shareholders and will receive the same shareholder communications. To join the Aviva Share Account or to find out about the terms and conditions, please contact Equiniti

Our website - www.aviva.com

Visit www.aviva.com/shareholders for up-to-date investor information including our latest financial results and key dates. An electronic copy of current and past Annual and Interim Reports can be downloaded from the website. You can also find our current and historic share prices, sharedealing information, news, updates and when available, presentations from the Group Chief Executive. You can also register to receive future shareholder communications electronically.

A range of frequently asked shareholder questions including practical help on transferring shares and updating personal details is available online at www.aviva.com/shareholderguide

Electronic communications

We have embraced the changes brought about by the Companies Act 2006 which recognises the growing importance of electronic communications. We therefore provide documentation and communications to you via our website unless you have specifically elected to receive a hard copy.

Using electronic communications enables fast receipt of documents, reduces our printing, paper and postage costs and has a positive impact on the environment.

ShareGift

The Orr Mackintosh Foundation operates a purely voluntary charity share donation scheme for shareholders who wish to dispose of small numbers of shares when the dealing costs or minimum fee makes it uneconomical to sell them. Details of the scheme are available from ShareGift at www.sharegift.org or can be obtained from Equiniti.
