3 Life Insurance Industry in Japan First insurance company established in Japan in Industry grew steadily. Early products were Whole Life and Endowment Post war period saw significant growth of the insurance industry. Distribution typically by door to door agents. Main products included Endowment with Term Rider and Whole Life. Collapse of bubble economy in early 1990 s had significant adverse impacts on insurance industry: Overall industry decrease in sales Declining interest rates lead to negative spread problem. This in turn led to the bankruptcy of 7 insurance companies in Regulator responded by strengthening regulations such as introduction of appointed actuary role and introduction of solvency margin s saw deregulation of insurance product sales through banks. This lead to significant increases in sales of variable annuities. Recent trends include increased sales of single premium whole products through banks and increased sales of corporate products. 3 Key Factors Influencing Life Insurance Products in Japan Economy Interest Rates Equity Markets Demographics Customer Preferences Regulatory Environment 4 2

5 Implications for Insurance Products Collapse of equity market led to lack of trust in many customers of insurance products tied to stock market. Decline in interest rates weakened many companies. Bankruptcy of 7 companies in a short period created anxiety with many customers over the insurance industry s ability to honor guarantees made to customers. Low interest rates limit both product profitability and customer value Guaranteed Interest Rate vs. Market Interest Rates Year JGB 3.00 Guaranteed Interest Rate

8 Projected Change in Japanese Population Pyramid Source: National Institue of Population and Social Security Research in Japan 13 Implications of Demographic Changes on Insurance Products Greater need for retirement and nursing care products. Decreased need for death protection products. Aging of population leads to challenges for traditional distribution systems. 14 7
9 Customer Preferences 15 Customer Preferences In general, Japanese customers tend to be conservative. Experience of stock market collapse has caused many customers to be wary of products with potential risk. Customers put high value on guarantees and certainty. Flexible premium products have not become popular in Japan. 16 8
10 November 2012 Survey of Consumer Behavior from Japan Consumer Affairs Agency Is a financial product with a low return acceptable as long as there is a guarantee of principle? 44% Yes Would a low risk financial product with a higher potential return, but no principle guarantee, be acceptable? 17% Yes What do you view as important in choosing a financial product? Understanding product features? 77% Yes Trust in sales person? 76% Yes 17 Regulatory System 18 9
11 Regulatory System Concerns about financial stability of post bubble insurance industry led to enhanced regulatory structure in Unfortunately, these changes came too late to save some companies. Current regulatory focus is on both ensuring company solvency and customer protection Solvency focus leads to some conservative rules Customer protection focus has indirect and direct impacts on product design. 19 Japan Individual Life Insurance Sales excluding Japan Post Insurance Source: Life insurance association of Japan, Statistics Book. 10

Decline in popularity of interest sensitive products. Traditional products with fixed premiums remain popular. Flexible premium products have yet to gain popularity.
