(Reuters) – Prudential Plc (PRU.L), Britain's largest insurer, reported a 17 percent rise in its life insurance business for the first nine months of the year on Wednesday, driven by another robust performance in Asia.
The life insurer, which has a market value of around 42 billion pounds, is in the process of demarking that will see the UK and European insurance and asset management units of the 170-year-old company split off into a separate company.
The planned demerger of M & G Prudential was on track, Prudential said in a business performance update ahead of an investor day event in Singapore.
