AIA Group entered the fourth quarter with a mixed operating picture: third-quarter value of new business declined, while September sales momentum improved sharply. The insurer's update was published on October 30 for the period ended September 30.

According to AIA's third-quarter announcement, value of new business fell 5 percent year on year to US$1,415 million on a constant exchange rate basis. The decline reflected weaker results in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, where prior-year July and August sales had been unusually strong.

September changes the quarterly picture

The group reported more than 25 percent year-on-year growth in value of new business in September. Outside Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, reportable segments grew 18 percent in the quarter, helping offset weakness in the two largest markets. For the first nine months, value of new business increased 5 percent to US$4,627 million.

Margin quality improved alongside the regional recovery. Third-quarter value-of-new-business margin rose to 63.5 percent from 58.2 percent a year earlier, while annualised new premiums fell 13 percent to US$2,237 million. Insurance Asia described the September rebound as a basis for stronger fourth-quarter growth and highlighted the impact of the high prior-year comparison.
