Aviva said it has completed the registration process with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has received authorization from NYSE to list.

Aviva will establish a level 2 American Depositary Receipt program in conjunction with Citibank and will trade under the ticker symbol “AV”. No new Aviva ordinary shares will be issued in connection with the listing and Aviva will retain its current primary listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Aviva said that since over 20 percent of its shareholders are in the US, it gives these investors a more convenient and cost efficient means to hold shares.
