The Quarterly Life Insurance Performance Statistics publication provides industry aggregate summaries of financial performance, financial position, solvency, capital adequacy and management capital, as well as details of the performance of individual product groups.
This publication is more detailed than the previously published Life Insurance Trends (Trends). The data provided is not directly comparable to Trends due to the change in prudential reporting framework that took effect on1 January 2008.
The publication is available in two electronic formats: Adobe PDF for printing (containing data for the most recent periods) and Microsoft Excel for further analysis (containing a complete time series of data since June 2008).
