About SAGA
Saga is a UK-based diversified business currently listed on the FTSE All-Share. It has operations within financial services, focusing on insurance and savings advice. Separately, it also has a travel arm offering cruise package holidays and other trips. Finally, it also makes money from paying subscribers to the Saga Magazine. This is published monthly, and including columnists such as Jeremy Paxman.
The company focuses on the over 50s, with cross-selling opportunities between the products and services offered. For the past few years, the business has been profitable. Even during the difficult 2020, it managed to post an underlying profit before tax. This is in part due to the diversified nature of operations. It also benefits from the proportion of revenue being generated from the insurance arm.
