Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX) does not attract the attention it merits as a giant FTSE 100 insurance firm, in my view. I think this is because many people do not realise it owns famous brands such as Standard Life and SunLife. I did not either, incidentally, until my stock screener started flashing ...
