Just Group posts fall in profit, chairman to retire

London Stock Exchange Chairman Gibson-Smith, Fresnillo CEO Lomelin, Bailleres, son of the chairman of Penoles/Fresnillo, and Head of Investor Relations at Fresnillo Alvidrez open the market at the London Stock Exchange

(Reuters) - Specialist pension provider Just Group <JUSTJ.L> on Thursday posted a fall in 2019 profit due to a tough operating environment and did not declare a dividend for the year.

Separately, the company announced the retirement of Chairman Chris Gibson-Smith.

The mid-cap company, which specialises in annuities for people with reduced life expectancy, said underlying operating profit dropped to 266.4 million pounds in the year ended Dec. 31, from 315.4 million pounds a year earlier.
