Aviva PLC
Aviva PLC is a British insurance company that sells life insurance, car and home insurance, pensions, retirement products, and related savings and investment services. It serves individuals, families, and businesses, mainly in the UK and Ireland, with some international exposure through selected insurance and asset-management activities. Aviva makes money by collecting premiums from policyholders and fees on retirement and investment products. In simple terms, customers pay Aviva to take on risk, manage long-term savings, or handle claims when something goes wrong. The company also earns income from managing assets tied to those insurance and pension products. What makes Aviva’s business different is that it sits at the center of everyday financial protection and retirement planning rather than one-off purchases. Its products are built for long time periods, so the company depends on trust, careful risk pricing, and strong investment management. That makes it both an insurer and a long-term steward of customer savings.
