AIA Singapore’s 2023 VONB climbs 10% YoY

Group-wide, it saw its VONB surge 33%.

AIA Singapore saw its value in new business (VONB) climb 10% year-on-year (YoY) in 2023 to $526.9m (US$394m), influenced by agency and partnership distribution channels.

Its annualised new premium (ANP) rose by 8% to $783.7m (US$586m). Operating profit after tax (OPAT) slightly decreased by 2%, attributed to increased remittance to the group corporate centre and improved claims experience offsetting poorer medical claims.

The tied distribution channel, including agency force and AIA Financial Advisers, saw double-digit growth, driven by a premier agency strategy and digital innovation.

Partnership channel growth was fueled by the Citibank bancassurance partnership and the launch of AIA Platinum Infinite Wealth in August 2023.

Group-wide, it saw its VONB surge 33% to $5.4b (US$4.0b). For the year, ANP increased by 45% to $10.3b (US$7.7b).

The year ended with a final dividend of 119.07 Hong Kong cents per share. Its total dividend ended at 161.36 Hong Kong cents per share, up 5%. A total of $4.8b (US$3.6b) was returned to shareholders through the share buy-back programme in 2023.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
