Sell

$6.05

-1.31%

While Challenger appeared surprised, says Citi, by strong shorter-duration institutional flows in the quarter underpinned by the reinvestment of a $300m mandate, the broker points out total annuity sales have declined, as compared to the same quarter last year. 

More encouragingly, much of this decline is in lower-margin, one-year fixed term sales. Combined with a decline in institutional sales, the company reported a slightly worse than anticipated net book contraction. 

The Sell rating is retained and the target price decreases to $6.05 from $6.25.
