Reuters•8 days agoPrudential shifts 36 billion pounds in assets to Luxembourg ahead of Brexit
Britain's biggest insurer, Prudential, has transferred 36 billion pounds in customer assets to its new Luxembourg subsidiary ahead of Brexit, it said on Wednesday, as the company reported a six percent rise in operating profit. Insurers and banks have been shifting hundreds of billions of pounds in assets to European Union subsidiaries regardless of the form Brexit takes, reversing decades of European financial market integration and chipping away at the City of London’s dominance. British Prime Minister Theresa May suffered a second, heavy parliamentary defeat on the withdrawal deal she struck with the EU on Tuesday, leaving open the possibility of an abrupt, economically damaging Brexit without a transition arrangement.

China's Union Life to sell majority stake, draw local, overseas bidders -sources
China's Union Life Insurance is planning to sell a controlling stake, and the deal could attract locals and foreigners looking to tap into the country's growing demand for insurance products, three people familiar with the matter said. Union Life, expected to be valued at $1.5 billion to $2 billion, plans to sell as much as 51 percent, with an option to raise that to 100 percent later, said the people, who declined to be named as the deal process is not public yet. AIA, the world's second-largest life insurer by market value, and the Asian unit of Prudential are among the foreign players likely to submit initial bids due over the next few weeks, the people added.

Prudential , Britain's largest insurer, said new business profit from its life insurance operations rose 17 percent in the first nine months of the year, driven by another robust performance in Asia. After a tough year for many asset managers, however, Prudential said its two fund management units, M&G Investments and Asia-focused Eastspring, had both posted net outflows of external client money.
