AJ Bell shares jumped after the company pledged to boost cash returns to investors through a higher interim dividend and an expanded share buyback programme, including a fresh £15 million repurchase plan. The market also welcomed its decision to exit a legacy non‑platform SIPP business, which frees up resources and simplifies operations.
The firm plans to channel those freed resources into AI‑enabled technology, aiming to improve its platform and customer service while keeping costs under control. AJ Bell also used the update to call for clearer U.K. pension and ISA rules, a stance that positions it as a vocal player in the ongoing debate over long‑term savings policy.
