Reported on the Malaysia press KUALA LUMPUR: Great Eastern Life Assurance (M) Bhd plans to unveil at least two more products this year following the launch yesterday of its Centennial Max Plan, said chief executive officer Koh Yaw Hui. The insurer would be “exploring an annuity plan and also enhance our already very strong medical plan,” he told reporters after the launch. Koh said Great Eastern was targeting new business premium growth of 10% to 15% this year. Koh Yaw Hui As at end-2007, total premiums were slightly over RM800mil. The Centennial Max Plan is a single premium investment-linked product that is close-ended and capital protected. The product has a maturity of five years and provides life as well as total permanent disability coverage up to 125% of the initial investment. Based on historical back testing, the plan aims to give an average return of 74.2% upon maturity, but could potentially hit a maximum of 160.74% return over five years. The minimum achieved in back testing was a return of 26.47% over five years. Koh said Great Eastern was confident of hitting its sales target of RM100mil for the new plan. The minimum investment for the plan is RM20,000. The offer period is one month. On whether there would be other similar single-premium products from Great Eastern, Koh said this depended on market response. The plan is open to anyone aged from one year up to 70 years on their next birthday. The investment-linked product employs an active “market neutral” strategy in investing to capture returns in both bull and bear markets, with the reference index being the BNP Paribas - SPECTRUM Long/Short Style Excess Return Index. |

3Q07 Profit S$124m; Non-Par Strong Despite Challenging Markets Sell/Low Risk 3L Price (01 Nov 07) S$17.40 Target price S$18.50 Expected share price return 6.3% Expected dividend yield 1.8% Expected total return 8.2% Market Cap S$8,236M US$5,684M Target S$18.50 ? GEH 3Q07 profit S$124m (2Q: S$143m). -6%qoq fall in premiums, non par profit down 27%qoq but better than expected in difficult markets. Hence 9M07 profit of S$402m is ahead of forecasts. GEH is at 1.38x 2007E embedded value, pricing in about 9.7 years of new business value. Analysis ? 3Q07 total premiums down 6%qoq to S$1,411m. New business premium S$541m, down 21%qoq (2Q: S$688m). Non-par profit S$65m (2Q: S$90m), offset by stronger par fund and ILP performance. New business embedded value 3Q07 S$0.53/shr ? Versus CIR FY07 estimate of S$0.50/share (FY06: S$0.455/share), reflecting still buoyant markets. 9M07 premiums S$4.2bn about 71% of our FY07E forecast S$5.9bn. CDOs Sept update?Total CDOs S$176m: S$9m in shareholders' funds, S$18m ABS CDOs exposed to US sub prime, versus S$42bn of life funds. 3Q MTM loss S$3m to shr fund, S$25m to life fund. To the 4 CDO ILP funds (total S$397m, none with subprime exposure), Sept 12 GEH launched a 5th CDO fund, raising S$186m. Lion Capital's S$34.5bn AUM had S$5.6bn in CDOs, 26% being ABS CDOs with subprime exposure. No 3Q P/L charge in 3Q. Outlook ? One CDO has been put on ratings watch in Oct, but the P/L impact likely immaterial. GEH will revalue its properties in 4Q, likely positive given strong property prices. Strong SGD a concern, but 90% of foreign currency exposures are hedged. |
