Great Eastern’s profit attributable to shareholders dips 12% to $780.9m in 9M22

The decline was due to lower valiant of investment in the shareholder’s fund.

Great Eastern’s profit attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of the financial year 2022 (9M22) fell 12% to $780.9m, compared to the same period last year.

In a report, the finance and insurance company said the dip in its attributable profit was due to the “lower valuation of investments in the shareholders' fund, given the challenging global investment climate.”

The lower valuation, however, was balanced by stronger profit from the company's insurance business in 9M22.

Great Eastern's new business embedded value (NBEV) jumped 4% YoY in 9M22, reaching $595.3m, despite a softer sales performance. In 9M22, the total weighted new sales of the company declined by 1%.

“The business climate will be challenging in the near to mid-term, reflecting geopolitical uncertainty, a difficult investment climate and inflationary pressures. Our focus remains on strengthening our business and distribution model, supported by data-driven targeted propositions to meet the needs of our customers,” Group CEO, Khor Hock Seng, said.

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.
