The chairman of LV= has criticised Royal London for the timing of its intervention in the mutual provider’s sale to Bain Capital.

Mutual life, pensions and investments provider Royal London has committed to net zero carbon emissions across its investment portfolio by 2050.

Life, pensions and investments provider Royal London has acquired a 30% stake in later life lending and product provider Responsible Group.
