Commentary on Third Quarter 2007 New Business Results Asia insurance operations Prudential's Corporation Asia's (PCA's) life operations nine month sales as at30 September 2007 were £939 million, up 48 per cent compared to 2006 continuingthe trend seen at the half year. Nine month sales in 2007 have already exceededthe £908 million achieved for the full year 2006. The life operations deliverednew business APE of £320 million during the third quarter this year, an increaseof 51 per cent over the same quarter in 2006. On the PVNBP basis sales for thirdquarter 2007 of £1.7 billion are 54 per cent higher than the same period lastyear with the comparable numbers for the nine-month period being £5 billion, 52per cent higher. The strong growth is attributable to progress with the previously statedpriorities for the region that include the further strengthening of agencythrough increasing scale and improving productivity enhancing partnershipdistribution, introducing health solutions and developing a holistic retirementstrategy. In Taiwan growth in the first nine months is 90 per cent above the same periodin 2006, driven by a significant increase in agency activity rates. The momentumseen in Taiwan during the second quarter, attributed to launch of the retirementthemed VA product, has continued beyond the initial launch period, with thirdquarter sales of £50 million being up 67 per cent on the same period in 2006.The new business mix remains 79 percent unit linked but margins have reverted tomore typical levels as the VA launch incentives have finished. The pace of growth in India remains strong. Nine month sales to 30 September of£126 million are up 64 per cent on the same period in 2006. Third quarter salesare up 95 per cent with Prudential's 26 per cent share recording sales of £43million. The operation now has 256,000 agents up 98 per cent over 30 September2006. ICICI-Prudential Life remains the leading private sector insurer in Indiaand has a 9.6 per cent share of the total market new business. Health relatedproducts remain a focus and whilst these are only a small contributor to newbusiness volume (2 per cent) they are written at a higher margin than unitlinked products in India. During the first half of 2007, the pace of growth in Korea had moderatedfollowing weaker market sentiment towards linked products early on in the year,the constraint from regulatory caps on volumes from individual bank partners andchallenges in recruiting financial consultants. However, following an incentiveprogramme and encouraging bancassurance with local banks Kookmin Bank andIndustrial Bank Korea the pace has picked up again during the third quarter,resulting in nine month sales of £192 million, an increase of 25 per cent on2006, and third quarter new business of £72 million which is 41 per cent higherthan the same period in 2006. Hong Kong continues to record strong growth with nine month sales of £114million, up 39 per cent on the same period in 2006. Third quarter new businessof £40 million represented a 25 per cent increase on the same period in 2006.The key drivers were continuing momentum for linked sales in the agency channeland a record quarter for bancassurance. We have also just launched a newcritical illness product in Hong Kong. In Indonesia Prudential is becoming well established as the industry leader withnine month growth of 66 per cent to £78 million. Growth in the third quarterwas 72 per cent to £31 million. Agent numbers of 44,000 at 30 September 2007 areup 10,000 over the same time last year as Prudential continues to expand itsagency channel. During September the business very successfully launched itsfirst takaful product. Singapore's nine month sales of £89 million show 25 per cent growth on the sameperiod in 2006 primarily driven by improved agency productivity. Singapore hasalso launched a very successful new health product with 53,000 applications tothe end of September. Japan's new business, at £24 million for the first nine months, is three timesthe same period last year driven by Term Life products and success withpartnership distribution. China has reported a 77 per cent increase in the first nine months of 2007 withthe third quarter being its strongest quarter to date at £17 million, up 89 percent on the same period in 2006. Of all PCA's markets, Malaysia is currently the most challenging with growth at9 per cent for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in2006. It is worth noting however that this exceeds the current level of marketgrowth in Malaysia. There are a number of initiatives to increase sales underwayincluding a medical plan upgrade, a new VA product and the 'What's Your Number?'retirement campaign which has already been successful for Prudential in HongKong, Korea and Taiwan. Whilst Vietnam is a smaller contributor to growth in absolute terms, it hasreturned to growth with nine month sales up 33 per cent on the same period in2006, and we have recently received the final regulatory approvals for thelaunch of unit linked products. With one of the market leading life operations,a successful asset management operation and a newly launched consumer financeoperation, Prudential has an unparalleled platform in Vietnam. Whilst small in absolute terms, Thailand and Philippines have also shownencouraging growth in the third quarter. Overall the long term prospects in Asia remain as compelling as ever andPrudential sees no material impediments to sustained, profitable growth. Weremain focused on delivering our priorities and previously announced newbusiness profit targets and expect these to drive further increases inshareholder value. US insurance operations Jackson, Prudential's US insurance business, delivered APE sales of £511 millionin the first three quarters of 2007, representing a 20 per cent increase overthe same period in 2006, driven by continued growth in sales of variableannuities. Retail APE sales of £432 million were up 21 per cent. APE sales inthe third quarter of 2007 were £159 million, up 20 per cent over the same periodin 2006. On a PVNBP basis, new business sales for the nine months to 30September 2007 were £5.1 billion. Jackson delivered record variable annuity sales of £3.4 billion in the firstthree quarters of 2007, up 33 per cent on the corresponding period last year.Variable annuity APE sales for the third quarter of 2007 were £117 million, up37 per cent over the same period in 2006. For the half year 2007, Jacksonincreased its variable annuity market share to 5.1 per cent, up from 4.6 percent for full year 2006, and increased its ranking to 11th in variable annuitysales, up from 12th for full year 2006. Jackson also ranked second in variableannuity net flows in the second quarter of 2007. This significant sales growthperformance in variable annuity sales was driven by Jackson's distinctcompetitive advantages of an innovative product offering, an efficient andflexible technology platform, a relationship-driven distribution model and awardwinning customer service. Earlier in the year, Jackson continued its track record of product innovation byenhancing its existing variable annuity offering, namely by adding three newguaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWBs), a new guaranteed minimumaccumulation benefit (GMAB), and several new portfolio investment options.Jackson also launched a new line of retail mutual funds, a simplified variableannuity, a new universal life product, and a new fixed index annuity. Fixed annuity APE sales of £42 million were 11 per cent down on the same periodof 2006. APE sales in the third quarter of 2007 were £13 million, 30 per centdown on the same period of 2006. Industry sales of traditional fixed annuitieswere 20 per cent lower at the half year compared to the same period in 2006.Entry spreads for fixed annuities continued to be challenging in the first threequarters of 2007 and the interest rate environment limited the crediting ratesthat could be offered on the products and has therefore diminished theirattractiveness to customers. Jackson ranked sixth in traditional fixed annuitysales with a market share of 3.3 per cent in the first half of 2007 up from aranking of seventh and a market share of 3.1 per cent for the full year 2006. Fixed index annuity sales continued to be affected by the uncertain regulatoryenvironment in the US and industry sales were 4 per cent lower at the half yearcompared to the same period last year. APE sales of £34 million were 15 per centdown on the same period in 2006. APE sales in the third quarter of 2007 were £12million, 9 per cent down on the same period of 2006 but 11 per cent up on thesecond quarter of 2007 driven by strong sales of the new product launched inJune. In the second quarter of 2007, Jackson ranked first in fixed index annuitysales through banks for the eighth consecutive quarter. Institutional APE sales of £79 million were up 13 per cent on the same period in2006, as Jackson continues to participate in this market on an opportunisticbasis. Curian Capital, a specialised asset management company that provides innovativefee-based separately managed accounts, continues to build its position in the USretail asset management market with total assets under management at the end ofSeptember 2007 of £1.6 billion ($3.3 billion) compared with £1.2 billion at CER($2.4 billion) at the end of December 2006. Curian generated record deposits inthe first three quarters of 2007 of £484 million, up 56 per cent on the sameperiod in 2006. Jackson's fixed maturity portfolio is of high quality and its exposure to subprime mortgage business is modest and is through structured deals in the highestrated ('AAA') tranches. Jackson's recognised IFRS net credit related losses forthe total fixed maturity portfolio of £6 million ($12 million) to the end ofSeptember 2007. In determining IFRS operating profit, the longer-term return forfixed income securities incorporates a risk margin reserve (RMR) charge forlonger term defaults and the net loss position for the nine months to 30September 2007 is well below the current year RMR charge. Jackson continues to focus on value-driven growth and is well positioned to takeadvantage of the attractive opportunities in the US retirement market, throughorganic growth and also through bolt-on acquisitions, where Jackson willconsider taking advantage of securitisation financing, that meet targeted ratesof return. UK insurance operations Overall retail APE sales in the first nine months were up 8 per centyear-on-year to £523 million, driven principally by continued strong performancein individual annuities and corporate pensions, good growth in lifetimemortgages and demand for Prudential's with-profits products where customersbenefit from Prudential's asset allocation expertise and experience. In linewith the strategy announced in March 2007, Prudential UK has continued tode-emphasise low margin, low persistency pension and unit-linked bond business,which has resulted in third-quarter on third-quarter growth in retail sales of 3per cent to £165 million. On a PVNBP basis retail sales in the first nine monthswere up 6 percent to £4.2 billion. Total sales for Prudential UK for the first nine months of 2007 were £529million, a decrease of 20 per cent over the same period last year. This was dueto two large back-book deals in the first half of 2006 which were not repeatedin 2007 as well as £45 million of credit life sales in the first nine months of2006 under a contract with Lloyds TSB that was not renewed in 2007. On a PVNBPbasis total sales were down 26 per cent to £4.2 billion. Prudential UK willcontinue to compete selectively in the wholesale market, only writing businessthat delivers an acceptable rate of return. As previously announced, PrudentialUK expects to complete the transfer of Equitable Life's portfolio of in-forcewith-profit annuities in the fourth quarter of 2007 at which point it willrecognise new business premium and associated profit from this transaction. Thistransaction comprises a book of 62,000 policies and assets of approximately £1.7billion. Equitable Life's Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled for 26October and the UK Court hearing for approval of the transfer is due on 28November. Individual annuity sales in the first nine months grew by 14 per cent to £214million, with sales of £74 million in the third quarter in line with the samequarter last year. Prudential continues to benefit from the strength of itsinternal vesting pipeline with sales in the first nine months of £103 million up6 per cent on the same period last year. Annuity sales through the UK's directchannel and its partnership deals of £66 million were 32 per cent higher thanlast year. Prudential has recently announced a new partnership agreement withBarclays, where Prudential UK is the preferred provider for customers whoenquire about a range of annuity options - this is on track for launch in thefourth quarter with business flows due to start in the first quarter of 2008. Prudential continues to be the clear leader in the growing with-profit annuitymarket with sales of £36 million up 43 per cent on the first nine months of 2006and sales up 16 per cent on the third quarter of 2006. Corporate pensions sales increased 20 per cent to £173 million, with sales inthe third quarter 2 per cent above the third quarter of 2006. The sales increasewas due to a combination of new scheme growth, new member growth and incrementalsales to existing schemes. Lifetime mortgage advances in the first nine months of £108 million haveincreased by 96 per cent on the same period in 2006, supported by growth anddevelopment of the face-to-face sales-force as well as continued work to buildrelationships in the intermediary channel. Advances in the third quarter of £41million were 64 per cent above the third quarter of 2006. Prudential UK hadgrown its market share to 11.2 per cent at the end of the second quarter. With-profit bonds sales in the first nine months of £27 million were up 50 percent on the corresponding period of 2006 on the back of impressive investmentperformance of the with-profits fund over a sustained period of years. Sales inthe third quarter of £10 million were up 43 per cent on the same quarter lastyear. Sales of PruFund, Prudential's unitised and smoothed investment plan, havenow exceeded £200m since launch three years ago. Unit-linked bond sales in the first nine months of £23 million were down 32 percent on 2006. Sales of £7 million in the third quarter were down 30 per cent onthe same quarter last year. Prudential has continued its focus on value ratherthan volume and moved away from sales of the initial commission-basedunit-linked bond. Prudential launched the Prudential Investment Plan (PIP), afactory gate priced bond, in August. PIP includes a selected range of investmentsolutions, offering both with-profits and unit-linked options, including therecently launched Cautious Managed Growth and Managed Defensive Funds, whichutilise Prudential's core asset allocation expertise. These two funds havegenerated strong relative and absolute investment returns since they werelaunched and are available across the full tax wrapper suite, including onshoreand offshore bonds, individual pensions and mutual funds. Prudential welcomes the publication of the FSA's Retail Distribution Reviewdiscussion papers which outline a number of potential changes designed toencourage greater levels of transparency, professionalism and sustainability,with the prime aim of increasing consumers' access to savings and theirunderstanding of the value of advice. Prudential is encouraged that the conceptof consumer agreed remuneration has been included as part of the Review andbelieves that this is an excellent opportunity to put in place a framework thatwill better align the interests of consumers, advisers and providers. Offshore product sales in the first nine months were £34 million, driven by a 59per cent increase in sales in Europe. This reflected strengthening demand forPrudential's with-profits offering in its target markets. Although overalloffshore sales were down 29 per cent on the first nine months of 2006, this wasas a result of a large tranche of one-off business that was written with aparticular UK distributor in the first half of 2006. Sales in the third quarterwere up 16 per cent with sales in Europe up 85 per cent compared with thecorresponding quarter last year. PruHealth continues to progress well and now covers 131,000 lives, an increaseof 47 per cent since the end of 2006. The business has continued to focus onhigh quality corporate schemes and retail business and gross written premiums of£45 million were up 87 per cent on the corresponding period last year. Tiedregional broker networks have recently been established to enhance ourdistribution coverage. Prudential UK and South African joint venture partner, Discovery, launchedPruProtect in September. This is an innovative new protection insurance productoffering customers life cover, income protection and severity-based seriousillness cover. While less dependent on investment bonds than many providers in the market,Prudential is, together with others in the industry, consulting the relevantGovernment departments to seek clarity on the capital gains tax proposals in thepre-Budget Report to avoid a detrimental impact on consumers' savings.Prudential's multi-asset investment capability means that it can provide savingsand income products across all tax wrappers and its new income drawdown productwill provide customers with further options and opportunities to manage theirretirement provision. Prudential UK continues to focus on the market for retirement savings and incomethrough selectively competing in areas where it can generate attractive returnsbased on its manufacturing strengths and brand. Asset Management M&G Strong fund performance led to M&G delivering gross fund inflows of £10.8billion during the first nine months of 2007, an increase of 8 per cent on thesame period last year, reflecting M&G's leading positions in retail fundsmanagement, institutional fixed income, pooled life and pension funds, propertyand private finance. Net fund inflows of £3.6 billion, while 30 per cent downon the first three quarters of last year, were the second highest on record. M&G's retail business continued to perform well, with gross fund inflows up 28per cent to £6.6 billion compared to the same period last year. Net fundinflows of £2.4 billion were down 5 per cent relative to the first nine monthsof 2006, but were still a solid result in a more challenging sales environment. While equity markets have proved resilient, increased volatility and uncertaintyin debt markets have had an effect on retail investor confidence. However, M&Gremains extremely well positioned in its retail markets with strongly performingfunds and an excellent UK and international distribution network, combined witha reinvigorated brand which has been very well received by both intermediariesand customers. For M&G's wholesale businesses, gross fund inflows for the first nine months ofthe year were £4.2 billion, a decrease of 13 per cent on the same period lastyear. Net fund inflows of £1.2 billion were down 54 per cent compared to thefirst three quarters of 2006. This decrease has in the main been due toredemptions in M&G's segregated fixed income business in the third quarter dueto one-off mandate changes and the ongoing reorganisation of mandates by somelarger clients. It is worth noting that as part of this process ofreorganisation, while M&G has seen physical outflows of assets, new revenuestreams have arisen from clients' increased use of derivatives. M&G's higher margin wholesale product lines have continued to be particularlystrong performers, with gross fund inflows doubling in the first nine months ofthe year and net inflows up almost threefold. These business lines, such asleveraged loans, Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDOs), Infrastructure Financeand M&G's Absolute Return Business, currently account for 50 per cent of grossinflows, producing a more profitable sales mix for M&G's third party business. Despite the recent turmoil in structured credit markets, the performance of M&G's range of CDOs has remained strong and the CDO team successfully closed theirmost recent issue, Panther V, in August. Current market conditions are verychallenging for CDOs, although the market for synthetic transactions, in which M&G is a leading player, remains open. M&G's leveraged loans business also sawgood inflows despite the wider market context. While activity in the leveragedloans has been very quiet in Q3, M&G expects to be among the first CLO managersto be able to conclude deals once activity in the market picks up For M&G's Absolute Return Business, the 30th of September saw the reopening ofthe Episode global macro fund to new investment, having been soft closed fornine months after successfully reaching its target of $1.5 billion assets undermanagement. The fund saw inflows of $190 million on the first day of reopeningand M&G expects the $1 billion in new capacity on the fund to be fullysubscribed over the next six months. Looking ahead, M&G's priorities continue to be to deliver investmentoutperformance to its clients, extend distribution through existing channels andexploit new opportunities, and to leverage its scale and capabilities to developinnovative products for the retail and wholesale marketplaces. Asian Fund Management Business The Asian Fund Management business has continued to perform well in the firstnine months of 2007 with record net flows of £2.4 billion up 59 per cent on thesame period in 2006. This is primarily driven by net inflows in India, Japan andTaiwan. Of the £2.4 billion in net flows, 60 per cent were in longer-term equityand fixed income products with 40 per cent in shorter-term money market funds.Net inflows for the first nine months of 2007 are almost at the same level asthe total net inflows for the full year of 2006. Total third party funds under management were £16.1 billion at 30 September2007, up 32 per cent on year end 2006. Taiwan, India and Japan were the maincontributors to the nine month growth with funds under management increasing by58 per cent, 48 per cent and 31 per cent respectively. In Japan, the growth inFUM was mainly attributed to net flows of £730 million from PCA Growing AsiaEquity Open, India Infrastructure Equity and Asia Oceania Equity funds. Taiwan'sgrowth was driven by the successful launch of the Asian Infrastructure Fund inMay that raised £220 million, a discretionary mandate from The Public ServicePension Fund and institutional clients that contributed £100 million. We continue to strengthen our distribution capability and reach in the region.In Korea, we have successfully implemented the PCA Life distribution projectwhich has provided training and marketing promotion plans to support PCA Lifeagents to distribute our mutual fund products. In UAE, we have establishedthirteen distribution agreements since launch, with total funds under managementof over £250 million. We have increased our stake in CITIC Prudential Fund Management, our jointventure fund management company with CITIC Group in China. Our stake hasincreased from 33 per cent to 49 per cent from 12 August 2007, followingapproval from the regulators. Prudential and CITIC remain primary shareholders,each with a 49 per cent share with the balance of 2 per cent being held byChina-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park Venture Company. Notable achievements forthe CITIC-Prudential operation include launching two well received funds andsecuring our participation in the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor(QFII) scheme. CITIC-Prudential currently acts as investment adviser toPrudential Asset Management HK for the latter's participation in China'sdomestic stock market through this scheme. Prudential remains confident that its fund management businesses in Asia arewell placed to achieve strong and profitable growth.
