Total retirement sales in the year to date have risen to £6.7bn, up from £5.4bn towards the end of September, with the start-up lifetime mortgages arm delivering £0.4bn so far towards its £.5bn full year target.
The FTSE 100 group announced it had completed the full buyout of the £1.1bn Vickers Group pension scheme, part of the Rolls-Royce Group, covering over 11,000 members.
L&G has worked with the scheme's trustees since 2007 with a mandate to de-risk the scheme.
