3 What is the research? Finaccord s report titled Life Bancassurance in the Asia-Pacific Region: Investment-Related Life Insurance and Retirement Savings offers uniquely detailed insights into the distribution by banks and other lending institutions of these types of product across eight countries: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. Drawing on a survey of over 470 banking entities, the study finds that 45.8% offer at least one form of investment-related life insurance or retirement savings product, giving a total of over 420 initiatives. Hence, given that the aggregate market for investment-related life insurance and retirement savings across the eight countries was worth around USD billion in premiums in 2012, it is clear that banking institutions can intermediate a significant volume of business in these sectors, especially as they are an important distribution channel in many countries. In addition to identifying schemes for the distribution of investment-related life insurance and retirement savings through the bancassurance channel, the research also classifies and analyses these according to the operating model used, distinguishing, for example, between captive, joint venture and external product providers. It also calculates the weighted share of partnerships of the providers involved, thereby specifying not only which competitors hold which partnerships but also illustrating which competitors hold the most significant distribution deals.

4 What methodology has been used? The majority of Finaccord s survey of the provision of investment-related life insurance and retirement savings by banks and other lending institutions in the Asia-Pacific region was carried out on a rolling basis between July 2012 and February 2013, and focused on all significant banking entities in each country. The research embraced the following information: whether investment-related life insurance and retirement savings products are available to customers; if so, how through an external provider, multiple external providers, an external broker, a captive broker, a joint venture provider, a captive provider or a combination of these approaches? if so, who are the product providers? Combined with Finaccord s unique and proprietary quantification of the size and growth of the market for investment-related life insurance and retirement savings in each of the eight countries, with accompanying commentaries concerning the constituent product segments, this is the most thorough and comprehensive research into this subject ever published.

14 What are some of the key findings? (cont.) 4. Key findings from the executive summary include: the approximate value of the market for investment-related life insurance and retirement savings across the eight countries investigated was USD billion in terms of gross written premiums and equivalent revenues in 2012, within which Japan alone accounted for 53.4% of the total; Indonesia and Thailand were the fastest-growing markets between 2008 and 2012, with real inflation-adjusted compound annual growth rates of 11.5% and 11.4%, respectively; an analysis of the weighted share of ultimate holding companies (i.e. groups) with bancassurance partnerships for investment-related life insurance and retirement savings indicates that MetLife is the leading group by this measure across the eight Asia-Pacific countries under consideration, well ahead of other multi-national competitors; however, the international insurance group with bancassurance relationships for these products across the largest number of countries among those researched is Prudential (of the UK), which was found to have established deals with banks in all eight countries.
