HSBC mulls $1b Singapore insurance exit, report says

It could be valued at over $1b.

HSBC Holdings plc is reported to have plans to sell its Singapore insurance business, according to a Bloomberg News report which cited persons familiar with the matter.

Its insurance unit, HSBC Life (Singapore) Pte is likely to be worth over $1b in a transaction, the report said.

Data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) also showed that the insurer generated $2b in total premiums in 2024, which was a 27.5% surge from the previous year.

In a recent ranking list by Insurance Asia, the insurer ranked 7th of the top 50 insurers in Singapore.

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.
