UK-headquartered life insurer and asset manager focused almost entirely on growth markets across Asia and Africa.
UK-headquartered life insurer and asset manager focused almost entirely on growth markets across Asia and Africa.
Sells health and savings policies mainly through tied agents and partner banks, and profits build as long-term policies stay in force and regular premiums keep coming. It spun off M&G in 2019 and Jackson in 2021, leaving only Asia and Africa. These are US-traded receipts for the shares listed in London.
In one line: Not Prudential Financial (US) - a UK insurer focused purely on Asia/Africa.
Moat: narrow (distribution, brand, regulatory licence). Long-standing agency and bancassurance networks across 20+ Asian/African markets are slow to replicate.
Headquarters: London, UK · Founded: 1848 · Employees: 15,338
