Great Eastern profits up 21% to $235.50m in Q3

Total sales rose 16% to $306.30m.

Great Eastern Holdings Limited's (GEH) profits rose 21% YoY to $235.50m in Q3.

According to its financial statement, total weighted new sales (TWNS) rose by 16% YoY from $264.70m to $306.30m.

GEH said TWNS rose largely thanks to a higher contribution from Singapore's agency and bancassurance channels.

Operating profit also surged by 18% YoY from $134.50m to $158.60m. This and higher profit from shareholders' fund's investment boosted the group profit.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
