Aviva shares fell 13 per cent on the release of their full year figures on 7th March, knocking £1.4bn off the value of the company, the biggest sell-off for the stock in almost four years. It has been a tricky year for the UK’s second biggest insurer, it embarked on a major restructuring program and also lost its chief executive, Andrew Moss. The shares are now trading just above the level they were when he left in May 2012.

Quindell Portfolio (QPP) - Buy
Quindell Portfolio is an IT company providing services to insurance firms that help them to reduce costs. It allows insurers
to outsource the day-to-day administration of motor claims, including organising lawyers for personal injury claims and
arranging replacement vehicles. It also organises medical experts to assess injuries through its Mobile Doctor unit. This is
a costly business for insurers and with personal injury claims spiralling, the government is looking to crackdown on
ambulance-chasing and whiplash cheats. This should benefit Quindell which prides itself on an ethical approach to claims.

BG Group (BG.) - Buy
At the end of October BG Group suffered its biggest ever share price fall. As one of the UK’s most respected oil and gas explorers the warning on production numbers
caught investors off-guard and, at one point, knocked as much as one-fifth off the value of the shares. Shareholders and analysts were taken aback by the shock profit
warning, not least because the quarterly figures were released a day earlier than expected. Despite a 16 per cent rise in third-quarter profits to US$1.6bn, and a five
per cent increase in production, it was the outlook for 2013 that caused concern and the big sell-off.

Telecom Plus (TEP) - Buy
Utility providers are coming under fire as the government tries to reign in the varied charging structures and tariffs.
According to the Telecom Plus chief executive, Andrew Lindsay, this will play into the hands of his company, which trades
under the name of Utility Warehouse. He sees the changes as spelling the end of low-priced introductory offers from the big
energy operators which compete with his product. As things stand, Telecom Plus has just 1.5 per cent of the UKs home phone,
mobiles, broadband, gas and electricity market, with around 438,000 customers.

WANdisco (WAND) - Buy
There have only been three technology floatations in London this year. A far cry from the heady days of the tech boom a
decade ago. However, the three companies that have listed in 2012 have gone largely unnoticed. For starters they’re small,
and they’ve also chosen the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to make their debuts. The first to appear was Austrian
software company Incadea, which raised £17m in May. The second, WANdisco, came to the AIM market in June. Then Blur Group
raised £4m in October. Of the three, WANdisco has been the most successful. It is a small company worth around £90m. The
shares were originally placed at 180p and have more than doubled since the first day of trading. Management decided to list
on AIM in order to fund expansion of the company’s sales force, to open an office in China and potentially make some
acquisitions. The placing was significantly oversubscribed (by 300 per cent) and shareholders include big institutions like
Fidelity, Legal & General, Blackrock and M&G.
