Monday 12 August 2013 8:42 pmBottom Line: Tidjane Thiam back on top as bet on Asian growth pays offBy: Express KCSShareFacebookShare on FacebookXShare on TwitterLinkedInShare on LinkedInWhatsAppShare on WhatsAppEmailShare on EmailAdd as a preferredsource on GoogleITrsquo;S HARD to believe that just three years ago Prudential chief Tidjane Thiam was being called on to justify his position.After a clumsily handled bid for Asian insurer AIA was derailed by nervous shareholders and widespread media opposition, the firm was left nursing costs of pound;377m. But a vote of confidence at the 2011 AGM gave Thiam the chance to start again ndash; and he grabbed it with both hands.We now know ndash; with the benefit of h stanley deutschland indsight ndash; that Thiam was right and his critics were wrong. AIA 8200;would have been a great acquisition and the price, far from being too high, would actually have been a steal. Fortunately, the man from the Prursquo heart remained in the right place ndash; namely, Asia. He set out si owala ca x financial targets for the firm to hit by end 2013, and allocated vast amounts of capital to Asia and America.Now, after hitting four of the six goals ahead of deadline, Thiamrsquo refusal to be diverted from an easterly course has paid off. Asia life profits polene bag are up 18 per cent year on year, while new business grew 11 per cent. Remaining targets will soon be met.At the start of June 2010, when the Pru abandoned its bid for AIA, shares were at a steady but uninspiring 561p.
