AIA Group Reports Strong Performance in Q3 2025
Sri Lanka, Nov. 7 — AIA Group Limited has announced a significant increase in the value of new business (VONB) for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025. The company reported a 25% growth in VONB on a constant exchange rate basis, reaching USD1,476 million. This marks a record performance for the quarter, highlighting the company’s continued success in the life and health insurance markets across Asia.
Key Distribution Channels Drive Growth
One of AIA’s most successful distribution channels, the Premier Agency, played a crucial role in this achievement. The Premier Agency, known for its industry-leading performance, recorded a 19% growth in VONB, contributing over 70% of the Group’s total VONB. This success was supported by strong recruitment momentum, with a 18% increase in new recruits. This growth in active agents further strengthened the company’s ability to expand its market presence.
In addition to the Premier Agency, AIA’s partnership distribution channel also showed impressive results. This fast-growing and complementary channel experienced a 46% increase in VONB. The growth was driven by strong performances from the independent financial adviser (IFA) and broker channel in Hong Kong, as well as the company’s bancassurance businesses.
Leadership Highlights Strategic Success
Lee Yuan Siong, Group Chief Executive and President of AIA, emphasized the company’s continued strong execution of its growth strategy. He stated, “AIA’s continued strong execution of our growth strategy has delivered another excellent quarter as we capture the unparalleled opportunities in life and health insurance markets across Asia.”
During the third quarter of 2025, AIA achieved a 25% increase in VONB compared to the same period last year. The company also saw double-digit growth in 11 of its key markets. This demonstrates the effectiveness of AIA’s strategic approach and its ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the region.
Competitive Advantage Through Distribution
The company’s unrivalled distribution platform remains a key competitive advantage. Both the Premier Agency and the partnership distribution channels generated very strong growth during the quarter. Lee Yuan Siong expressed confidence in the future of the company, stating, “I am confident that the continued compounding of high-quality new business will grow our in-force portfolio and drive higher earnings and cash generation for many years to come.”
Future Outlook
With a robust performance in the third quarter and a clear focus on sustainable growth, AIA is well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the Asian insurance market. The company’s emphasis on quality and innovation ensures that it remains a trusted provider of life and health insurance solutions across the region.
