Reuters•23 hours agoPrudential sees profit boost from Asia, demerger holds on track
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. "A key positive in Prudential's trading update is a move up in Asian volume growth," said KBW analyst Greig Paterson in a note to clients, flagging an 'outperform' rating and 2,100 pence price target, although he called the outflows "disappointing".

UK-based life insurer Prudential said its profits from new business rose by 17 per cent in the first nine months of the year, driven by record performances in some of its Asian operations.
