INDONESIA - TAKAFUL - Sun Life eyes top 10 position in RI market

www.thejakartapost.com - Indonesian multinational insurer Sun Life Financial will double the number of its agents and set up an asset management unit in the next few years to be among the top 10 industry players.

Sun Life Financial Indonesia is currently No. 12 in terms of market share in the insurance industry, with total premiums accounting for 2.2 percent of the entire market, Sun Life Financial Indonesia country manager Bert Paterson said on Wednesday.

“We have a target to be in the top 10. Maybe not necessarily this year, but within the next three years,” Paterson told The Jakarta Post in an interview. “Consensus forecasts that within the market [growth will be] between 20 to 25 percent over the next three to four years. So if that is the case, then clearly, if we are going to capture market share, we need to be bigger.”  (source)
