  • Life Premiums Expected To Rise In 2013 And 2014

    January 24, 2013 by William T. Knight

    LONDON, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ —

     

    StockCall research team has posted free technical analyses on

     

    companies mentioned in this release. These can be accessed at

    Companies in the life insurance industry could be in for a solid 2013,

     

    as life insurance premiums are predicted to rise both this year and

     

    next. Globally, life insurance premiums are projected to increase by

     

    approximately 3%, according to a recent Swiss Re study. Several

     

    companies in the industry like, MetLife Inc. (NYSE: MET) and Genworth

     

    Financial Inc. (NYSE:GNW), have also been taking steps to improve

     

    their businesses by divesting non-core assets, growing their presence

     

    abroad and securing top executives to head up operations. See how the

     

    following companies, Genworth Financial Inc.(1), MetLife Inc.(2) and

     

    Prudential Financial Inc.(3), which are in the Life Insurance industry

     

    have been performing over the past years and how they are expected to

     

    perform in 2013. Sign up now for free at

    MetLife’s recently completed the sales of its bank deposits for $6.4

     

    billion. This move follows the company’s move away from the home loan

     

    segment last year as MetLife continues to recalibrate to its core

     

    insurance business. MetLife will be releasing its Earnings report on

     

    February 13th, 2013.

     

    Genworth Financial has also been selling non-core holdings with the

     

    aim of refocusing on its core business. The company has been

     

    considering alternatives for two of its non-core businesses which

     

    include an international division that offers lifestyle protection

     

    insurance. It is planning to boost this business value with the

     

    objective of selling it in the next few years.

     

    Asia and Latin America have been a specific focus for a number of life

     

    insurance companies of late, as countries such as India and Brazil

     

    offer great growth potential. A lack of health protection for many

     

    individuals combined with a growing affluent population in the

     

    aforementioned countries is fuelling demand, and those that can

     

    service that demand could see sales and profits rise.

     

    While the industry looks poised for a solid year, there are a number

     

    of industry specific challenges. Competition in the industry remains

     

    spirited, and with interest rates remaining low, returns on funds held

     

    have been an issue for some like Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE:

     

    PRU). That being said, a recovering economy in the U.S. coupled with

     

    strong foreign demand could lead life insurers higher this year.
