Risk intelligence
Analyst raised concerns about potential regulatory changes on life insurance fee/commission structures and agent payouts following media reports. Management acknowledged it as an industry-level risk but provided no specific mitigation plan.
As personal & consumer and unsecured business mix increases from current ~25% toward 30%, yields have compressed ~30bps over four quarters. Management indicated margin expansion would only materialize when unsecured mix reaches 27-28%, which may take several more quarters.
While partnership/bank assurance grew 25% YoY, proprietary channel growth was lower at 7%. Management attributed this to industry-wide agency channel softness but did not provide specific turnaround timeline for proprietary growth acceleration.
Despite improvement from 107% last year, the combined ratio remains above 100%, meaning the health insurance business is still technically underwriting at a loss before investment income. Management targets achieving 100% combined ratio during FY27.
