    If tower maintains it div todays prices represent a nice div, of more interest to me is for them to demonstrate they are serious about growing the general insurance business.
    I see if IAG is not allowed to take over lumley ( lets hope so we dont want another duopoly in nz developing do we ) there maybe an opportunity for someone else to buy tower? would substanially boost there general insurance market share.

    I read it and makes it sound like a great buy at current price with Premiums going up etc.. Not familiar at all with history here , legacies , management , debt etc. So whats the catch? cheers jt

    They say they wont use the data for any other purpose including claims. I am sure the Police may request it if you are in a crash though. Count me out but then I dont think I would score highly anyway.

    Thanks for the link. Most innovative thing I have seen an insurer do in a while. Might attract younger and bored drivers interested in a bit of gaming and friendly competition on their way to work or whereever.

    Good to see they are trying things. They need to.
