Legal & General Group (LON:LGEN) used its 2026 annual general meeting to highlight progress on its strategy to become a “simpler, growing, and better-connected” business, while also marking major leadership changes at the board and executive level.
Chair Sir John Kingman, presiding over his final AGM before stepping down, said 2025 was a year in which the company demonstrated delivery against the strategy presented to investors in 2024. He said Legal & General has divested GBP 1.5 billion of non-strategic assets since establishing its Corporate Investments Unit in June 2024 and has continued to sharpen its focus on core businesses.
