Prudential plc is a life insurance and asset management company providing financial and health solutions across Asia and Africa. The company offers life insurance products including health and protection coverage, savings and investment products, and asset management services through its Eastspring Investments subsidiary. Prudential serves over 17 million customers in 20 markets across the two regions, delivering products designed to meet evolving customer needs across life stages.
Prudential generates revenue primarily through premiums from life insurance policies, fees from asset management services, and investment returns on its managed funds. The company earns income from new business sales measured as Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) and operating profit from its in-force insurance and asset management operations. Revenue is derived from individual and institutional customers purchasing protection, savings, and investment products, as well as from managing third-party and internal funds under advice.
The company operates through the following segments: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mainland China – CITIC Prudential Life (CPL), Malaysia, Singapore, Growth markets and other, and Eastspring.
