Sir Mark Edward Tucker
Independent Non-executive Chairman
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
OVERVIEW

I am delighted to be able to share with you this Chairman’s Statement, my first since becoming the Independent 
Chairman of AIA on 1 October last year. As I said when I first took on the role, I am deeply honoured to be given the 
opportunity to chair the Board of one of the world’s largest insurance companies.
AIA’s strong performance in 2025 was achieved despite a challenging global environment, with uneven growth across 
the world’s major economies reflecting continuing geopolitical tensions, unresolved trade issues and macroeconomic 
pressures.
In the face of these pressures, and recent instability in the Middle East, Asia continues to demonstrate resilience, with 
economic growth underpinned by long-term trends of urbanisation, infrastructure investment and human capital 
development. Additionally, recent reconfiguration of global trade is further driving expansion of intra-Asia trade 
corridors, presenting meaningful new growth opportunities for Asian economies.
These developments are fuelling demand for financial services across the region.
15TH ANNIVERSARY OF AIA’S IPO
2025 marked a special milestone for AIA: the 15th anniversary of our initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong, the 
largest IPO ever completed in Hong Kong and one of the largest globally.
Since 2010, AIA has grown to become the largest pan-Asian life insurer and one of the leading life insurance groups 
in the world by market capitalisation. That achievement reflects the strength of AIA’s business model, consistent 
execution and the quality of our leadership and people.
Since rejoining AIA as Board Chairman, I have had the privilege of visiting most of our markets to engage with our 
businesses and to hold productive dialogues with partners, regulators, government officials and other stakeholders. 
During these visits, I have been struck by the energy, focus and professionalism of our teams. I have also been 
encouraged by the significant progress made in the development of AIA’s business units – in particular, our continued 
leadership in Premier Agency distribution; the steady expansion of our complementary bank distribution channels; the 
strengthening of a truly customer-centric culture; and the modernisation of our operating platform through sustained 
investments in technology, digital and analytics (TDA).
These experiences have only further reinforced my confidence in the strength and differentiation of AIA’s business and 
growth platform.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
OVERVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Growth opportunities across AIA’s markets remain highly compelling. With our 
powerful brand, pan-Asian scale, industry-leading Premier Agency and strong digital 
and technology foundations, AIA is uniquely well-positioned to benefit from the region’s 
long-term structural development and economic growth. These enduring competitive 
advantages, combined with strong execution discipline, are reflected in the Group’s 
excellent financial performance for 2025, with value of new business growing by 15 
per cent and operating profit after tax increasing by 12 per cent per share. Against this 
backdrop, the Board has recommended a 10 per cent increase in the final dividend and 
approved a new share buy-back programme of US$1,743 million.

2025 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During 2025, AIA delivered excellent growth across all our key financial performance measures. We achieved record 
value of new business (VONB), which grew 15 per cent to US$5,516 million, reflecting the sustained demand for AIA’s 
high-quality products and solutions. Operating profit after tax (OPAT) grew by 12 per cent per share to US$7,136 million, 
while underlying free surplus generation (UFSG) increased by 11 per cent per share to US$6,765 million.
This strong performance was broad-based across our geographical markets, demonstrating the continuing strength 
and relevance of AIA’s distribution and customer service platforms. Our home market of Hong Kong delivered excellent 
growth, with VONB increasing by 28 per cent to US$2,256 million, supported by strong demand from both domestic 
customers and Mainland Chinese visitor customers. Elsewhere in the region, we commenced operations in additional 
provinces of Mainland China and achieved double-digit VONB growth in the majority of our markets.
Importantly, AIA’s results demonstrate not only strong top-line growth but also disciplined execution resulting in high 
quality of earnings and consistent value creation across our portfolio of businesses. It has been encouraging to see this 
sustained value creation increasingly recognised by the investment markets.
AIA’s financial position remained strong in 2025, with a shareholder capital ratio of 221 per cent at 31 December 2025. 
Our strong balance sheet and disciplined capital management continue to underpin AIA’s resilience, flexibility and 
capacity to reinvest in profitable growth.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, DIVIDEND AND SHARE BUY-BACK
I am very pleased to report that the Board has recommended a final dividend of 144.08 Hong Kong cents per share, an 
increase of 10 per cent over 2024, in line with the Group’s established prudent, sustainable and progressive dividend 
policy.
The Board follows AIA’s capital management policy, which provides clarity on how we deliver capital returns to 
shareholders while preserving AIA’s financial strength. The depth of the Group’s financial resources supports our 
ability to return capital to shareholders over time.
Consistent with the above and after careful consideration, the Board has decided that it is appropriate to initiate a new 
share buy-back programme of US$1,743 million.
This reflects our continuing commitment to a disciplined capital management framework that balances reinvestment 
in high-return opportunities with sustainable levels of shareholder distributions while maintaining a strong balance 
sheet.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
OVERVIEW

STRATEGIC FOCUS
AIA’s ongoing success is anchored in Asia’s compelling growth drivers, our strong position in the region’s most 
attractive markets and a disciplined approach to execution that compounds and drives growth in value over time.
The structural and commercial demand drivers for AIA’s products and services across Asia remain compelling. 
Demographic trends, rising affluence and relatively low levels of social welfare coverage continue to create significant 
unmet needs for life and health protection as well as long-term savings solutions. These factors provide a high degree 
of resilience across economic cycles and a durable foundation for sustained growth.
AIA is exceptionally well-positioned to capture this demand. Our broad pan-Asian footprint and unique portfolio of 
predominantly 100 per cent-owned operations is the result of AIA’s long-standing presence and commitment to the 
region over many decades and spans both larger established markets as well as fast-growing emerging markets. This 
balance supports sustained growth, profitability and capital generation across a range of economic conditions.
AIA’s Premier Agency remains the cornerstone of our business and our strategy. It is the world’s leading professional 
tied agency and continues to be a powerful engine of high-quality growth. Our agency model combines trusted 
face-to-face advice with increasingly sophisticated digital and AI-enabled tools, supporting productivity, 
professionalism and positive customer outcomes at scale. AIA’s long-term strategic partnerships with leading regional 
and local banks provide access to additional complementary customer value pools and we continue to deepen our 
integration with these partners through technology and digital connectivity.
Our large and growing customer base provides a powerful source of insight and differentiation, through customer 
engagement with programmes such as AIA Vitality (our science-backed wellness programme), AIA’s digital platforms 
and ecosystems, as well as the insights generated by Amplify Health. Together, these capabilities increasingly enable 
AIA to strengthen customer relationships, personalise engagement and develop innovative and data-driven propositions 
to meet evolving customer needs.
Sustained investments in TDA have already modernised AIA’s operating platform and laid strong foundations for 
further innovation, including the responsible use of artificial intelligence. These capabilities are enhancing customer 
experience, driving distributor productivity, improving efficiency and strengthening risk management across the 
Group.
We maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritising the highest-value opportunities across our 
markets, while optimising growth across our targeted outcomes of quality new business, earnings generation and 
capital returns to shareholders.
These clear competitive advantages and strategic focus areas, combined with disciplined execution, give me 
confidence in AIA’s ability to deliver growing and sustainable value for shareholders over the long term.

BOARD CHANGES
Strong governance remains fundamental to AIA’s long-term success. I would like to express my gratitude to my 
predecessor, Mr. Edmund Sze-Wing Tse, whose leadership profoundly shaped AIA and whose legacy is reflected in the 
Group’s strong reputation for industry leadership, operational excellence and the highest standards of governance.
Over the past year, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of the Board with a view to ongoing refreshment and 
renewal. I am delighted that Ms. Shu Khoo and Mr. David Ku have been appointed as Independent Non-executive 
Directors of the Company, effective 5 February 2026, strengthening the Board’s breadth and depth of experience 
across people, culture and technology-enabled innovation in financial services. I would also like to extend my sincere 
thanks to Mr. Jack Chak-Kwong So, who has indicated his intention to retire from the Board at our Annual General 
Meeting of shareholders in May. Jack has been one of AIA’s longest-serving Directors, having joined the Board before 
our IPO. He has made an outstanding contribution through his expertise, energy and commitment over many years.
In recognition of the rapidly evolving technology landscape and the strategic importance of emerging technologies 
such as AI, I am also pleased to note that we have established a new Technology, Operations and Data Committee of 
the Board to oversee the Group’s technology, operations and data strategies, and their effective implementation.
At the same time, the Remuneration Committee of the Board has been renamed as the Remuneration and Leadership 
Committee, with a strengthened mandate to oversee, in addition to executive remuneration, people-related matters 
including leadership development, succession and culture.
These committee changes, which will take effect from 1 April, are intended to ensure that the Board’s focus and 
governance structure remain fit for purpose in an increasingly complex and fast-moving operating environment.
PEOPLE AND CULTURE
Our people – employees, agents and partners – and the standards to which they hold themselves are fundamental to 
AIA’s long-term success, and their commitment, professionalism and care for customers underpin everything we 
achieve. We continue to invest in talent, leadership development, succession planning and workforce capability to 
strengthen the foundations of our business and support sustainable growth.
While acknowledging AIA’s strong performance, it is also important to emphasise that our culture is not defined by 
near-term outcomes alone. ‘Doing the Right Thing, in the Right Way, with the Right People… and the Right Results will 
come’ is at the core of our Operating Philosophy and is essential to building and maintaining customer trust over the 
long term.
The Board is committed to fostering an environment that promotes integrity, customer focus, diversity of thought and 
responsible conduct. By reinforcing these foundations, we strengthen AIA’s resilience and our capacity to deliver 
sustainable long-term value for stakeholders.

LOOKING AHEAD
AIA is exceptionally well positioned to capture the growth opportunities in life, health and long-term savings across 
Asia’s diverse markets. Our Purpose – helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives – continues to guide our 
strategic choices and our focus on sustainability, community impact and responsible stewardship of resources.
The Board and I remain fully committed to this Purpose, to strong governance and to disciplined execution that delivers 
sustained value for stakeholders.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board members, AIA’s executive team, our employees, agents 
and partners for their dedication and hard work, and for the vital role each plays in delivering AIA’s strong results and 
supporting millions of customers across the region.

Group Chief Executive and President
GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND PRESIDENT’S REPORT
OVERVIEW

AIA’s performance is the direct outcome of executing a consistent strategy which has strengthened our leading 
positions and extensive presence in Asia’s most dynamic markets. Our ambition is simple but powerful: to be the 
pre-eminent life and health insurer in the world’s most attractive region for our industry, serving the evolving protection 
and long-term savings needs of Asia’s large and increasingly affluent population.
Asia’s structural growth opportunity is compelling despite the operating environment remaining complex with rising 
geopolitical uncertainty. Demographic trends, rising wealth, ageing populations and increasing awareness of the need 
for financial security provide powerful tailwinds for our business. Low levels of private insurance penetration and 
rapidly changing customer expectations create significant room for innovation, productivity enhancement and 
sustainable growth.
Our operating model is designed around the needs of customers who are making long-term financial decisions. 
AIA’s capabilities, developed over many decades across 18 markets, are not easily replicated by competitors. We 
combine financial strength, a world-class proprietary agency, market-leading technology, a trusted brand and a 
compelling ecosystem of products and services that meet evolving customer needs.
Our agents provide ongoing reassurance and support through regular, personal interactions. Face-to-face guidance 
helps individuals and families navigate complex choices, adapt as circumstances change, and remain confident even 
in times of uncertainty. Technology deepens engagement and insights, allowing advisers to focus on what matters 
most: delivering high-quality, tailored advice grounded in empathy, accountability and understanding. These qualities 
are fundamental to building a long-term business and sustaining our market-leading position well into the future.
We are focused on delivering a high-quality and capital-efficient portfolio, managing risk prudently and building 
enduring customer relationships that generate recurring earnings and cash flows. This approach has created a 
diversified portfolio of protection and long-term savings business supported by a large and growing in-force book. 
Active product management, rigorous underwriting and technology-enabled productivity improvements support 
attractive returns on capital. They also reinforce the durability of growth and earnings through economic cycles, 
providing the agility to respond to changing market conditions without compromising long-term value creation.
AIA’s record performance in 2025 demonstrates that we have the right distribution, brand, products, technology, 
services, talent and financial resilience to capture the extraordinary depth and scale of opportunities that Asia presents.
AIA delivered record results in 2025, achieving double-digit growth across our key 
financial metrics for new business value, earnings and cash generation, alongside 
substantial capital returns to shareholders. We have the right strategy, fully aligned 
with Asia’s structural growth opportunities and built on our long-term competitive 
advantages, to drive resilient earnings growth, predictable cash flows and sustainable 
value creation well into the future.

GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
NEW BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND EMBEDDED VALUE RESULTS
Value of new business (VONB) grew by 15 per cent for the full year to a record high of US$5,516 million, with double-
digit growth in the majority of our markets.
EV operating profit of US$10,887 million, up by 13 per cent per share, was mainly driven by VONB growth and positive 
operating variances.
EV Equity grew by 18 per cent(1) to US$84,384 million at 31 December 2025, before shareholder capital returns of 
US$4,706 million. Net of these items, EV Equity was US$79,678 million, up by 14 per cent(1) per share.
As a result of the consistent execution of our strategy, operating ROEV increased by 90 basis points(1) to 15.8 per cent 
in 2025, reinforcing our ability to generate attractive returns on capital while continuing to grow our economic value 
base.
Underlying free surplus generation (UFSG) is a core measure of the Group’s operating cash generation and increased 
to US$6,765 million, up by 11 per cent per share. The growth was mainly due to higher expected distributable earnings 
from the in-force book and positive operating variances.
After new business investment and expenses, net free surplus generation (net FSG) of US$4,451 million increased by 
14 per cent per share from growth in UFSG and a mix shift to less capital-intensive products.
Free surplus increased from US$12,554 million at 31 December 2024 to US$15,678 million at 31 December 2025, 
before shareholder capital returns of US$4,706 million. Net of these items, free surplus was US$10,972 million at 
31 December 2025.
IFRS RESULTS
Operating profit after tax (OPAT) was a record high of US$7,136 million, up by 12 per cent per share.
Operating margin remained strong at 15.3 per cent and operating ROE increased by 70 basis points(1) to 15.5 per cent 
compared with 2024.
Contractual service margin (CSM) increased by 15 per cent(1) to US$64,945 million, after CSM release of US$6,224 million 
into OPAT. The growth was mainly due to an increase of 17 per cent in new business CSM to US$9,110 million.
CSM represents our accumulated stock of expected future profits from the in-force book. Continued new business 
growth adds successive layers of future profits to the CSM balance and subsequently supports sustained growth in 
OPAT over time.
Shareholders’ allocated equity grew by 18 per cent(1) to US$52,199 million at 31 December 2025, before shareholder 
capital returns. Net of these items, shareholders’ allocated equity was US$47,493 million, up by 10 per cent(1) per 
share.
This performance means we are confident of meeting or exceeding our 9 to 11 per cent OPAT per share CAGR target 
from 2023 to 2026(2).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
AIA’s shareholder capital ratio remained strong at 221 per cent at 31 December 2025. This compared with 236 per cent 
at 31 December 2024, with the reduction largely due to shareholder capital returns over 2025.
The Group’s capital management policy targets to pay out 75 per cent of annual net FSG each year to shareholders 
through dividends and a share buy-back, together with a commitment to regularly review our capital position and 
return capital in excess of our needs.
Following the Group’s established prudent, sustainable and progressive dividend policy, the Board has recommended 
an increase of 10 per cent in the final dividend per share to 144.08 Hong Kong cents per share. This brings the total 
dividend for 2025 to 193.08 Hong Kong cents per share, up by 10 per cent.
The Board has also approved a new share buy-back programme of US$1.7 billion. This comprises US$0.7 billion to 
meet the annual payout ratio target of 75 per cent of net FSG of US$3,339 million, after total dividends of approximately 
US$2.6 billion for the financial year 2025, and an additional US$1.0 billion following a regular review of the Group’s 
capital position.
NEW BUSINESS PERFORMANCE BY MARKET
AIA Hong Kong delivered excellent new business growth in 2025 with VONB increasing by 28 per cent to US$2,256 million, 
with 21 per cent growth from domestic customers and 35 per cent growth from Mainland Chinese visitor customers. 
Our market-leading Premier Agency delivered 26 per cent VONB growth, supported by higher active agent numbers 
and an increase in productivity. VONB from partnerships was up by 46 per cent with growth from both bancassurance 
and intermediated channels. VONB margin increased by 3.0 pps to 68.5 per cent, supported by the launch of a new 
flagship product.
In 2025, AIA delivered a resilient performance in Mainland China, with VONB momentum accelerating in the second 
half with year-on-year growth of 14 per cent and more than 20 per cent growth in the first two months of 2026. VONB 
growth of 2 per cent for the full year to US$1,240 million was after allowing for economic assumption changes. Premier 
Agency continues to be central to our success, accounting for 85 per cent of VONB, as we continued to grow our 
agency with a 14 per cent increase in the number of new recruits supporting an 8 per cent uplift in the overall number 
of active agents. Bancassurance contributed the remaining 15 per cent of VONB, benefitting from larger case sizes 
through our highly selective bank partnerships.
In August 2025, we announced an ambition to grow VONB from our new geographies by 40 per cent CAGR(3) between 
2025 and 2030. VONB from our nine new regions (Tianjin, Hebei, Sichuan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Shandong, Chongqing 
and Zhejiang) was up by 45 per cent in 2025 to US$118 million.
Our 24.99 per cent investment in China Post Life Insurance Co., Ltd. expands the Group’s exposure to growth 
opportunities in Mainland China through additional distribution and customer segments that are highly complementary 
to AIA China’s strategy. VONB(4) was RMB10.3 billion in 2025, 5.5 times the 2020 full year result in the year prior to 
AIA’s involvement.
AIA Thailand delivered VONB growth of 13 per cent to US$993 million. AIA is the undisputed market leader, including 
in key segments such as traditional protection and unit-linked business, and reflects the strength of our professional 
agency distribution. As previously disclosed, we reported exceptionally strong VONB growth in the first quarter of 
2025 ahead of the introduction of industry-wide co-payment rules for individual medical insurance products. As a 
result, VONB is expected to be lower in the first quarter of 2026. In 2025, agency delivered 14 per cent VONB growth, 
underpinned by higher numbers of active agents and strong Financial Adviser productivity and activity. Partnership 
distribution VONB increased by 11 per cent.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

AIA Singapore achieved VONB growth of 14 per cent to US$530 million, with 10 per cent growth from agency and 
31 per cent growth from partnership distribution. This performance was driven by our continued success in capturing 
the expanding wealth opportunities across the affluent and high-net-worth segments, particularly through sales of 
unit-linked long-term savings products to both domestic and international customers.
VONB for AIA Malaysia was US$373 million. VONB growth of 17 per cent from our partnership distribution channel 
was offset by lower agency sales. In the second half, agency performance improved quarter-on-quarter, supported by 
higher productivity. Recruitment momentum also strengthened in the second half of the year, with an increase in new 
recruits compared with the first half. Growth in partnership distribution was driven by a strong bancassurance 
performance from Public Bank Berhad and growth in our market-leading corporate solutions business.
In Other Markets, VONB increased by 7 per cent to US$485 million, with growth in seven markets, reflecting the 
diversification of the Group’s footprint. Strong performances were recorded in India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and 
South Korea, driven by growth in both agency and partnership channels, productivity improvements, and ongoing 
investment in distribution and digital capabilities. India delivered particularly strong growth, supported by 
market‑leading agency strength, expanding partnerships and best‑in‑class business quality. VONB was lower in 
Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan (China), reflecting changes in partnership arrangements and 
macroeconomic headwinds. Overall, the Group continued to strengthen its distribution capabilities across markets, 
reinforcing the foundations for sustainable, long‑term growth.
GROUP-WIDE OVERVIEW
COMPELLING PROPOSITIONS
AIA’s Purpose is to help people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives. One of the ways we bring this to life is through 
connecting our powerful brand with compelling propositions that combine best-in-class products with a broader 
ecosystem of health, wellness and digital services, underpinned by professional advice. Through this integrated 
approach, we address the evolving life and health insurance needs of Asia’s rapidly growing and ageing populations.
We deliver protection and long-term savings solutions that support financial security at every stage of life, helping 
customers guard against unforeseen risks, accumulate wealth and plan for the future. For AIA, this results in a 
balanced, high-quality product mix with more than 90 per cent of VONB(5) from products with low or no guarantees 
and the strong persistency and sustainable returns that come from meeting real customer needs.
UNRIVALLED DISTRIBUTION
Agency distribution was the Group’s primary growth engine in 2025, delivering a 13 per cent increase in VONB to 
US$4,273 million and contributing 73 per cent of total Group VONB. Performance was supported by growth in active 
agent numbers, improved productivity and a capital-efficient product mix, driving a 3.4 pps increase in VONB margin 
to 71.5 per cent.
AIA’s proprietary agency is recognised as among the most productive and professional globally. In 2025, we ranked 
number one worldwide for Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) members for the 11th consecutive year and held the top 
MDRT position in nine markets, with AIA Hong Kong, AIA China, AIA Thailand and Tata AIA Life ranked as the top four 
individual companies globally.
The strength of the channel reflects AIA’s proprietary Premier Agency model, which provides end-to-end control over 
recruitment, training, product design and pricing, enabling disciplined underwriting and rigorous execution across 
markets. Continued investment in leadership development, digital tools and data‑driven activity management further 
reinforced agency professionalism and productivity, supporting sustainable growth.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND PRESIDENT’S REPORT
OVERVIEW

Partnership distribution continued to play an important role in AIA’s performance in 2025, delivering strong double-
digit VONB growth in our bancassurance and intermediated channels. VONB from partnerships increased by 22 per cent 
to US$1,593 million, supported by broad-based double-digit growth in 12 markets, higher product profitability and a 
favourable geographical mix, with VONB margin expanding by 3.5 pps to 45.4 per cent.
Performance was underpinned by the depth and longevity of AIA’s strategic bancassurance relationships, which 
provide access to more than 100 million potential customers throughout Asia, and an increased focus on affluent and 
high-net-worth segments, driving higher average case sizes. Intermediated channels delivered strong growth with 
VONB up 31 per cent, reflecting selective relationship management and a focus on high-quality sales and servicing 
standards.
TECHNOLOGY, DIGITAL AND ANALYTICS
AIA’s extensive technology, digital and analytics programme has fundamentally transformed the Group’s operating 
model since 2020, delivering efficiency gains and improving service quality. In 2025, a further 10 per cent reduction 
in unit costs was achieved, supported by high levels of automation with 83 per cent of underwriting decisions and 
75 per cent of claims auto-adjudicated. Adoption of technology across customer and distribution journeys remains high, 
with 95 per cent of transactions digitally submitted and 93 per cent of service requests completed within one day. Our 
programme has delivered structural gains that compound as the business scales.
Customer experience continues to advance through AIA+, the Group’s flagship customer app, serving more than 
23 million users in 10 markets, with 30 per cent monthly active usage and an app store rating of 4.7 out of 5. Group-wide, 
97 per cent of customer servicing transactions were available digitally and 99 per cent of sales were digitally submitted, 
supporting more productive growth in both our agency and partnership channels.
With these foundations in place, AIA accelerated the deployment of enterprise AI and generative AI. Proprietary 
platforms provide employees and agents with a single, real-time view of insights, supporting data-driven 
decision-making, personalised engagement and improved sales effectiveness. AIA’s in-house Copilot supported 
productivity for more than 14,000 employees operating in 15 markets.
AI-enabled agency recruitment tools achieved 98 per cent adoption across 11 markets, while data-driven activity and 
leads management delivered high conversion rates of 19 per cent from existing customers and 14 per cent from new 
customers. AI training tools were used by more than 35,000 agents and leaders, and users delivered 25 per cent higher 
monthly annualised new premiums compared with non-users. These capabilities are deployed within a rigorous 
governance framework encompassing model risk management, data privacy and regulatory compliance.
INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE STRATEGY
Fast-growing demand, significant protection gaps and high out-of-pocket spend create a substantial growth 
opportunity for health insurance in Asia. Annual health expenditure in AIA’s markets exceeds US$1.7 trillion, with a 
significant proportion funded directly by individuals. As the largest pan-Asian private health insurer, AIA is 
well-positioned to capture this opportunity.
Our Integrated Healthcare Strategy makes AIA’s propositions more competitive. By combining personalised coverage, 
strong medical networks and rigorous claims management, enabled by Amplify Health’s advanced analytics, we 
deliver better value to customers and more sustainable economics for the Group. The result is a differentiated offering 
that is difficult for competitors to replicate at similar scale.
Execution is generating measurable outcomes. Active management of the claims environment drove improvements in 
both customer experience and portfolio sustainability. Pre-authorisation activity increased by 14 per cent, enabling 
more than 750,000 patients to be treated on an outpatient basis rather than in hospital, delivering better outcomes for 
customers at a lower cost. Our smart medical networks are delivering cost efficiencies of up to 20 per cent compared 
with out-of-network products. Medical claims savings in 2025 was approximately US$300 million.

Our capabilities reinforce AIA’s competitive positioning at point of sale, supporting higher rider attachment rates, 
embedding health protection in financial plans and strengthening long-term customer relationships. AIA Vitality 
integrates science-based wellness into our propositions, supporting preventative care, chronic disease management 
and rehabilitation pathways. Health insurance also helps drive distribution performance, providing a broader product 
suite, more frequent customer interactions and access to new customer segments resulting in higher sales and 
productivity.
Together, these initiatives position AIA to sustainably manage medical inflation while improving health outcomes, 
reinforcing both the quality of our portfolio and the depth of AIA’s customer relationships.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
Sustainability remains an integral part of AIA’s long-term strategy and risk management framework. In 2025, we 
continued to embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations more deeply into our business 
operations and decision-making, supporting long-term value creation and the sustainable development of the markets 
in which we operate.
Since the launch of AIA’s Climate Transition Plan in 2023, we have further strengthened the integration of climate-related 
considerations across governance, risk controls and engagement activities. These actions underpin our path to 
net-zero emissions by 2050. In 2025, we remained on track to meet our near-term Science Based Targets initiative 
(SBTi) operational and investment targets. We also continued to enhance our sustainability disclosures and satisfy the 
new climate-related disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules ESG Code, which are aligned with the International 
Sustainability Standards Board’s IFRS S2.
Alongside our climate-related priorities, AIA continued to focus on social outcomes aligned with our Purpose. Through 
initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes, advancing financial inclusion and expanding access to quality 
healthcare, we delivered measurable impacts in our markets. Following our 2022 commitment to engage one billion 
people by 2030, we reached 622 million people by the end of 2025 through advice, partnerships, community 
programmes and targeted campaigns designed to support positive behavioural change.
OUR PEOPLE
Our people are central to our success. AIA’s empowerment model is built on clear accountability of local businesses to 
perform within the structure of a well-defined Group strategy and risk management framework. This model attracts, 
develops and retains exceptional talent. By investing in our people’s growth, giving them the technology to serve 
customers well, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture, we create an environment that enables faster 
decision-making, stronger execution discipline and more consistent outcomes, differentiating AIA where trust and 
expertise matter most.
We believe employee engagement is a key driver of operational performance, customer satisfaction, talent retention 
and sustainable value creation. Engagement is assessed annually using the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey, 
with AIA’s most recent score ranking in the 92nd percentile of Gallup’s global finance and insurance industry 
benchmark.
AIA has maintained employee engagement in the top quartile of this benchmark for nine consecutive years, and in the 
top decile for five consecutive years, reflecting sustained organisational effectiveness and cultural strength. In 2025, 
the Group received the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for the fourth consecutive year, recognising our strong 
engagement levels and high-performance culture.
AIA’s achievements in 2025 were made possible by the commitment and talent of our employees, the trust and loyalty 
of our customers, and the continued support of our shareholders. I remain deeply grateful to them all.

OVERVIEW

OUTLOOK
Asia continues to represent a compelling long-term growth opportunity for AIA. Our diversified footprint across 
18 markets – spanning the most dynamic economies in the world – provides broad and deep exposure to Asia’s 
structural growth drivers, while supporting multiple pathways to value creation and reinforcing the resilience of the 
Group’s future growth profile.
AIA’s strategy has evolved in line with customer needs, technological progress and market opportunities, while 
remaining anchored in AIA’s competitive strengths. It is designed to perform through market cycles, and AIA’s record 
performance in 2025 reflects the cumulative impact of this approach, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Group’s 
operating model in translating strategy into growth.
The Group continues to focus on strengthening distribution leadership and productivity, leveraging technology to 
enhance scalability and efficiency, and maintaining capital discipline to support shareholder returns. These priorities 
are closely aligned with the valuation drivers most relevant to our shareholders, including profitable new business, 
earnings growth and cash generation.
The appointment of Sir Mark Tucker as the Independent Non-executive Chairman and an Independent Non-executive 
Director of the Company further strengthens the Board’s governance and strategic oversight, as we execute our 
long-term growth objectives. In February 2026, we were also pleased to welcome Ms. Shulamite Khoo and Mr. David 
Ku as new independent non-executive directors, expanding the Board’s experience in key areas that support AIA’s 
long-term growth.
In closing, we are navigating an extended period of global uncertainty with rising geopolitical tensions and 
macroeconomic consequences. The clarity of our growth strategy, focus on execution and resilience of our business 
model give me confidence that AIA will continue to deliver sustainable, high-quality growth and create value for our 
stakeholders over the long-term.

Group Chief Financial Officer

SUMMARY AND KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NEW BUSINESS
VONB represents the economic value to shareholders of the new business written during the year. Our focus on high-
quality, sustainable new business growth delivered a 15 per cent increase in VONB to a record high of US$5,516 
million in 2025, with 91 per cent of the VONB(3) contributed by protection and fee-based insurance products(4) that 
have either no or low investment return guarantees. The strong growth in VONB was powered by double-digit growth 
in the majority of our markets.
EMBEDDED VALUE
AIA’s Embedded Value Equity (EV Equity) is the prudent economic value to shareholders of the Group’s in-force 
business with no allowance for future new business. EV Equity therefore captures the realised and expected future 
earnings net of taxes from the current book of business. Movements in EV Equity provide a transparent view of the 
value created through adding profitable new business in the period, the performance of the in-force business and 
capital management.
EV Equity grew by 18 per cent(5) in 2025 to US$84,384 million, an increase of US$12,758 million(5), before returning 
US$4,706 million in shareholder dividends and share buy-backs.
The growth in VONB and positive operating variances, compared with prudent assumptions due to our proactive in-
force management, helped deliver EV operating profit of US$10,887 million, an increase of 13 per cent per share. As a 
result, operating ROEV increased to 15.8 per cent in 2025.
The Board has also approved a new share buy-back programme of US$1,743 million 
under the Group’s capital management policy. This comprises US$743 million to meet 
the annual payout ratio target of 75 per cent of net FSG of US$3,339 million after 
dividends of approximately US$2,596 million(1) for the financial year 2025, and an 
additional US$1.0 billion following a regular review of the Group’s capital position. This 
results in an overall return to shareholders of US$4,339 million.
These results demonstrate the compounding nature of AIA’s business model: successive 
layers of high-quality new business generate sustained growth in earnings and cash 
returns over many years.
We are on track to meet or exceed our 9 to 11 per cent OPAT per share CAGR(2) target 
from 2023 to 2026.
Growth rates and commentaries are provided on a constant exchange rate (CER) basis,

GROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER’S REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW

Non-operating items, including investment return variances, were broadly neutral, while US dollar depreciation 
resulted in a positive currency translation addition of US$1,890 million.
After payment of shareholder dividends of US$2,427 million and share buy-backs of US$2,279 million, EV Equity was 
US$79,678 million at 31 December 2025, up by 14 per cent(5) per share over the year.
Future distributable earnings are expected to emerge over time and are reflected in EV Equity allowing for the time 
value of money. UFSG, a key operating measure of the Group’s cash generation, includes the expected emergence 
during the year, net of tax, and before reinvestment in writing new business and central costs.
UFSG was up by 11 per cent per share to US$6,765 million in 2025, driven by growth in expected distributable earnings 
and positive operating variances. The undiscounted value of expected distributable earnings over the next ten years 
increased by US$6.7 billion(5) to US$53.3 billion in 2025, primarily as a result of adding profitable new business. The 
increase in the accumulated future distributable earnings demonstrates that the consistent execution of our growth 
strategy over time supports sustained growth in UFSG.
IFRS EARNINGS
OPAT, our core measure of operating earnings, grew strongly to US$7,136 million, up by 12 per cent per share in 2025.
Profit from insurance services increased to US$6,772 million, representing 80 per cent of operating profit before tax 
for 2025. This growth reflects the build-up of the stock of future profits from the layering of new business over time, 
as well as improved claims experience from the execution of our Integrated Healthcare Strategy. The strong growth in 
OPAT per share underscores the high quality of our business fundamentals as well as our clear and disciplined 
approach to capital management.
Shareholders’ allocated equity grew by 18 per cent(5) in 2025 to US$52,199 million before capital returns to 
shareholders, mainly reflecting OPAT of US$7,136 million and a net positive of US$659 million from non-operating 
items, primarily currency translation. After capital returns to shareholders, shareholders’ allocated equity was 
US$47,493 million at 31 December 2025, up by 10 per cent(5) per share over 2025.
Full year operating ROE increased to a record high of 15.5 per cent, and operating margin remained strong at 15.3 per 
cent.
We are on track to meet or exceed our 9 to 11 per cent OPAT per share CAGR(2) target from 2023 to 2026.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Our capital management policy sets out the basis for determining capital returns to shareholders. It includes an annual 
payout target of 75 per cent of annual net FSG through shareholder dividends and share buy-back, together with a 
commitment to regularly review our capital position and return capital in excess of our needs.
Net FSG of US$4,451 million increased by 14 per cent per share in 2025, driven by the growth in UFSG and a proactive 
shift to sales of less capital-intensive products. The resulting return to shareholders under the 75 per cent payout ratio 
target is US$3,339 million.
Following the Group’s established prudent, sustainable and progressive dividend policy, the Board has recommended 
a 10 per cent increase in final dividend to 144.08 Hong Kong cents per share. This results in total shareholder dividends 
of approximately US$2,596 million(1) for the financial year 2025.

The Board has also approved a new share buy-back programme of US$1,743 million under the Group’s capital

after total shareholder dividends for the financial year 2025, and an additional US$1.0 billion following a regular

Free surplus was US$10,972 million at 31 December 2025, reducing during the year largely due to capital returns to 
shareholders. As a result, the shareholder capital ratio, our principal measure of the overall capital and free surplus 
position for shareholders, reduced from 236 per cent to 221 per cent and remained strong at 31 December 2025.
AIA remains exceptionally well positioned to capture the significant growth opportunities in Asia, the most attractive 
region in the world for life and health insurance. We are focused on driving high-quality, profitable new business 
growth that adds substantial layers of recurring earnings and free surplus generation well into the future, giving us full 
confidence in meeting or exceeding our OPAT growth target, as well as delivering sustained cash returns to shareholders 
in the years to come.

partnerships increased by 22 per cent, with strong double-digit VONB growth across both bancassurance and 
intermediated channels.
Annualised new premiums (ANP) grew by 9 per cent to US$9,484 million. VONB margin of 58.5 per cent improved by 
3.6 pps compared with 2024, driven by a proactive product mix shift in Thailand and Hong Kong, as well as repricing 
in Mainland China. VONB margin of Mainland China remained relatively stable compared with 2024 as the effect of 
repricing was partly offset by a shift to participating products.
Margin reported on a present value of new business premium (PVNBP) basis remained stable compared with 2024 at 
11 per cent.
In 2025, AIA delivered a resilient performance in Mainland China with VONB growth of 2 per cent after the impact of 
economic assumption changes reflecting the lower interest rate environment. Our business achieved a strong recovery 
in the second half of the year with VONB growth accelerating to 14 per cent. This momentum continued into the first 
two months of 2026, where VONB increased over 20 per cent year-on-year.
AIA Hong Kong achieved an excellent 28 per cent VONB growth in 2025, supported by a 21 per cent increase from 
domestic customers and 35 per cent growth from Mainland Chinese visitor (MCV) customers, with a balanced mix 
across the two customer segments.

continued investment in digital tools supporting sales and customer engagement.
AIA Singapore delivered 14 per cent VONB growth, supported by double-digit growth from both our agency and 
partnership distribution channels.
AIA Malaysia reported slight growth in VONB for the full year, as a recovery in the second half offset a challenging start 
to the year in the agency channel, as previously reported. VONB growth in the second half reflected improving 
momentum as earlier market disruptions began to ease.

EV EQUITY
EV EQUITY MOVEMENT
AIA’s EV Equity is the prudent economic value to shareholders of the Group’s in-force business with no allowance for 
future new business. EV Equity therefore captures the realised and expected future earnings net of taxes from the 
current book of business. Movements in EV Equity provide a transparent view of the value created through adding 
profitable new business in the period, the performance of the in-force business and capital management.
EV Equity grew by 18 per cent(1) in 2025 to US$84,384 million, an increase of US$12,758 million(1), before returning 
US$4,706 million in shareholder dividends and share buy-backs.
EV operating profit was US$10,887 million, an increase of 13 per cent per share in 2025. This strong growth resulted 
in a 90 basis points(1) increase in operating ROEV to 15.8 per cent.
Positive operating experience variances, from favourable actual performance compared with prudent assumptions, 
together with updates to key assumptions used to value the in-force portfolio, added US$305 million to EV Equity. 
Cumulative operating experience variances and assumption changes have added US$4.4 billion to EV Equity since IPO 
in 2010, demonstrating the Group’s consistent focus on writing high-quality new business, a prudent approach to 
assumption setting and proactive management of the in-force portfolio.
Finance costs increased to US$588 million in 2025 from US$503 million in the prior year, mainly due to an increase in 
borrowings under our Global Medium-term Note and Securities Programme.
Non-operating items, including investment return variances, were broadly neutral, while US dollar depreciation 
resulted in a positive currency translation addition of US$1,890 million.
After shareholder capital returns, EV Equity was US$79,678 million at 31 December 2025, an increase of 14 per cent(1) 
per share.
AIA’s EV methodology deducts the value of the Group’s outstanding medium-term notes and securities (MTNs) at 
amortised cost. If MTNs were included at fair value, EV Equity would increase by US$419 million to US$80,097 million.
The Group’s investment in China Post Life is held at the corporate centre and included in EV Equity at IFRS net asset 
value.

GROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER’S REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW

UNDERLYING FREE SURPLUS GENERATION (UFSG)
Future distributable earnings are expected to emerge over time and are reflected in EV Equity allowing for the time 
value of money. UFSG, a key operating measure of the Group’s cash generation, includes the expected emergence 
during the year, net of tax, and before reinvestment in writing new business and central costs.
In 2025, UFSG was US$6,765 million, an increase of 11 per cent per share. The components of UFSG are shown in the 
table below, with the main driver being distributable earnings released from the in-force business, reflecting 
compounding layers of high-quality, profitable new business over time.
Adding new business to the in-force portfolio further diversifies underlying risks and leads to a lower total cost of 
reserving and capital. With the proactive shift to less capital-intensive products, both the free surplus used to fund 
new business and the corresponding recurring diversification benefit from new business reduced compared with 
2024.

IFRS EARNINGS
OPERATING PROFIT AFTER TAX (OPAT) COMPOSITION
OPAT, the Group’s core measure of operating earnings, was a record high of US$7,136 million, an increase of 12 per 
cent per share in 2025.
Growth in OPAT combined with disciplined capital management delivered an increase of 70 basis points(1) in full year 
operating ROE to a record 15.5 per cent.
The three main components of operating profit are: 1) the insurance service result; 2) the net investment result after 
expenses; and 3) other fees, revenue and expenses.
The insurance service result grew by 18 per cent to US$6,772 million and represents 80 per cent of operating profit 
before tax for 2025.
A key feature of IFRS 17 is that profits on new business are not recognised immediately. Instead, profits are deferred 
and recognised gradually over the life of the contract as insurance and other services are delivered. This builds up a 
stock of expected future profits that is held on the balance sheet as the contractual service margin (CSM), from which 
a portion is released into OPAT as it is earned during the year. This is why continued growth in high-quality new 
business is important, as it adds successive layers of deferred future profit to the CSM balance, which subsequently 
supports sustained growth in OPAT as those profits are recognised over time.
The strong growth in the insurance service result was mainly from a higher CSM release, reflecting growth in the CSM 
balance. Growth also benefitted from positive operating variances, reflecting improved claims experience from the 
execution of our Integrated Healthcare Strategy.
The net investment result after expenses of US$3,133 million decreased by US$167 million compared with 2024, 
primarily due to a reduction in investment return on surplus assets following further share buy-backs as well as lower 
interest rates in Mainland China and the US. On an underlying basis, adjusting for these items, the net investment 
result after expenses increased by 4 per cent.
Other fees, revenue and expenses were negative US$1,388 million compared with negative US$1,270 million in 2024, 
largely from an US$83 million increase in finance costs resulting from higher borrowings under our Global Medium-
term Note and Securities Programme.
Tax increased due to higher operating profit before tax and the first-time inclusion of the notional GMT top-up tax of 
US$169 million and Bermuda corporate income tax of US$33 million, both of which became effective from 1 January 
2025.
The GMT top-up tax is included in OPAT as a notional tax charge on an operating profit basis. This increased the Group’s 
effective tax rate (ETR) on an operating profit basis from 14 per cent to 16 per cent in 2025, in line with our previous 
guidance.
The actual GMT top-up tax in any period may differ from the notional GMT top-up tax calculated on an operating profit 
basis. The assessed provision for actual GMT top-up tax for 2025 was US$54 million, which is reflected in reported net 
profit in 2025 and is expected to be settled in 2027. The Group continues to monitor developments related to the GMT, 
as these may impact the Group’s eventual GMT top-up tax liability.
Strong growth in OPAT per share underscores the high quality of our business fundamentals as well as our clear and 
disciplined approach to capital management. Combined with our effective management of the in-force portfolio, we 
are on track to meet or exceed our 9 to 11 per cent OPAT per share CAGR(2) target from 2023 to 2026.
Notes:

CSM MOVEMENT, NET OF REINSURANCE
The CSM represents the discounted value of expected future profits on our in-force business without any allowance for 
future new business. Underlying CSM growth(1) accelerated to 10.5 per cent in 2025, demonstrating the strong 
execution of our growth strategy.
New business CSM(2) increased by 17 per cent to US$9,110 million, and the expected return on in-force business 
added a further US$3,004 million to the CSM. Together these grew the CSM to US$68,345 million.
Variances and others(2) further increased the CSM by US$952 million in 2025, largely due to favourable operating 
assumption changes reflecting the latest experience and management actions on medical business, as well as positive 
investment return variances in our Hong Kong participating business.
Currency translation effects in the Group’s consolidated figures benefitted the CSM by US$1,872 million as our local 
market currencies strengthened against the US dollar in 2025.
The CSM increased to US$71,169 million before CSM release into OPAT of US$6,224 million, at release rate of 9.3 per 
cent, which remained stable compared with the prior year. As a result, the closing CSM was US$64,945 million at 31 
December 2025, up 15 per cent(3) over the year.

OPAT BY SEGMENT
In all of our reportable segments, successive layers of profitable new business have resulted in a higher CSM release 
in 2025.
Claims variances also improved across our reportable segments, supported by management actions taken.
Our businesses in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and Other Markets all achieved double-digit growth in OPAT as a 
result of business growth as well as improved claims experiences.
AIA China delivered OPAT growth of 8 per cent as a result of in-force portfolio growth and improved claims variances, 
partly offset by the impact of lower interest rates.
AIA Singapore's OPAT grew by 5 per cent as business growth was partly offset by lower investment return on surplus 
assets due to increased remittances to Group Corporate Centre.
OPAT for Group Corporate Centre (GCC) primarily includes the net investment result on surplus assets held in GCC, 
unallocated Group Office operating expenses, finance costs and GCC-related taxes, including for the first time in 2025 
the new notional GMT top-up tax and Bermuda corporate income tax. OPAT for GCC reduced to negative US$289 
million in 2025, mainly due to these new taxes and capital returns to shareholders during the year which reduced the 
investment return on GCC assets.

OPAT NET INVESTMENT RESULT
The net investment result included in OPAT relates to non-participating business(1) and surplus assets.
The investment return on non-participating and surplus assets(2) increased by 4 per cent to US$6,104 million compared 
with 2024. Growth in the investment return was moderated by a reduction in investment return on surplus assets 
following further share buy-backs and lower interest rates in Mainland China and the US.
Non-participating insurance finance expenses and others(3) of US$2,762 million increased by 19 per cent from 
US$2,288 million for 2024, largely from an increase in the average insurance liability balance.
On an underlying basis, adjusting for the effect of further share buy-backs and lower interest rates, the net investment 
result after expenses increased by 4 per cent.

NON-OPERATING MOVEMENT AND NET PROFIT
Net profit was US$6,234 million in 2025 and included other non-operating investment return and other items of 
negative US$823 million in 2025, principally due to the accounting treatment of exchange rate movements. These 
should be considered in aggregate with other exchange rate movements of US$1,512 million that flow directly into 
shareholders’ equity, resulting in a net US$689 million increase(1) to shareholders’ equity. Net profit adjusted for all 
exchange rate movements was US$7,746 million in 2025 and compared with US$5,964 million in 2024, an increase 
of 30 per cent(1).
Short-term investment and discount rate variances were small at negative US$102 million in 2025. These reflect 
mark-to-market movements compared with our long-term investment return assumptions from equity and real estate 
investments in our non-participating business and shareholder surplus.

Sensitivities of the CSM and profit before tax to changes in equity prices and interest rates, including resulting 
management actions, are shown below. Interest rate sensitivities reflect a 50-basis point movement in current bond 
yield curves applied to asset values, with a corresponding movement in discount rates used in the valuation of 
liabilities. The sensitivities to the central value of the CSM remained small.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW

ASSETS
Total assets increased to US$345,423 million at 31 December 2025 from US$305,454 million at 31 December 2024, 
largely due to positive net investment cash inflows and positive fair value movements on financial investments, partly 
offset by capital returns to shareholders.
LIABILITIES
Total liabilities increased to US$301,815 million at 31 December 2025 from US$264,641 million at 31 December 
2024.
Insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities increased to US$256,822 million at 31 December 2025 compared with 
US$221,667 million at 31 December 2024, mainly due to net cash inflows, changes in fair value of underlying items of 
contracts measured under the variable fee approach and foreign exchange rate movements.
Investment contract liabilities increased to US$7,560 million at 31 December 2025 compared with US$6,967 million 
at 31 December 2024, primarily as a result of equity market and interest rate movements.
Borrowings increased to US$14,245 million at 31 December 2025, compared with US$13,329 million at 31 December 
2024. Net proceeds from issuances and redemption of MTNs added US$766 million, with the remaining difference 
explained by foreign exchange rate movements.
Details of commitments and contingencies are included in note 39 to the consolidated financial statements.
EQUITY
Management considers that shareholders’ allocated equity better reflects the long-term nature of our business and is 
shown before the fair value reserve and insurance finance reserve. Shareholders’ allocated equity was US$47,493 
million at 31 December 2025, up by 10 per cent(1) per share.
Shareholders’ equity includes the mark-to-market gains or losses from book value on debt securities as the “fair value 
reserve”. It also includes, correspondingly, the mark-to-market change in the value of the non-participating business(2) 
against which bond assets are held as “insurance finance reserve”. In 2025, fair value gains on debt securities were 
US$189 million and the change in insurance finance reserve was an expense of US$523 million.
Shareholders’ equity increased to US$47,951 million before capital returns to shareholders of US$4,706 million. After 
capital returns, shareholders’ equity was US$43,245 million at 31 December 2025.
Comprehensive equity of US$97,930 million at 31 December 2025 included shareholders’ equity of US$43,245 million 
and net CSM of US$54,685 million, and was up by 15 per cent(1) per share compared with the end of 2024.
The leverage ratio, which is defined as total borrowings expressed as a percentage of the sum of total borrowings, total 
equity and CSM net of reinsurance and net of taxes, was 12.6 per cent at 31 December 2025, compared with 13.1 per 
cent at 31 December 2024. The decrease was from growth in shareholders’ equity and net CSM, partly offset by an 
increase in borrowings.

Total financial investments held in respect of policyholders and shareholders increased to US$285,235 million at 31 
December 2025 compared with US$255,333 million at 31 December 2024. The increase was mainly due to positive 
net investment cash inflows and fair value movements on financial investments, partly offset by shareholder capital 
returns.
Fixed income investments, including debt securities, loans and term deposits, totalled US$185,712 million at 31 
December 2025 compared with US$176,306 million at 31 December 2024.
Government bonds and government agency bonds increased to US$108,489 million from US$102,322 million and 
represented 59 per cent of fixed income investments at 31 December 2025, compared with 58 per cent at 31 December 
2024.
Corporate bonds and structured securities increased to US$72,782 million from US$70,013 million accounting for 39 
per cent of fixed income investments at 31 December 2025, compared with 40 per cent at 31 December 2024.
The average credit rating of the fixed income portfolio including government bonds remained stable at A and the 
average credit rating of the fixed income portfolio excluding domestic government bonds(1) remained stable at A at 31 
December 2025, compared with the position at 31 December 2024. The corporate bond portfolio was well diversified 
with over 1,800 issuers and an average holding size of US$36 million.
At 31 December 2025, 1 per cent of the total bond portfolio was rated below investment grade or not rated, representing 
approximately US$2.7 billion in value. Approximately US$61 million of bonds, representing 0.03 per cent of our total 
bond portfolio, were downgraded to below investment grade during the year.
The expected credit loss (ECL) provision for bond asset holdings measured either at amortised cost or fair value 
through other comprehensive income decreased by US$270 million in 2025. The ECL provision represented 0.2 per 
cent of the bond portfolio at 31 December 2025, reflecting the overall quality of AIA’s investments.
Interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan notes increased to US$69,605 million from US$50,930 million 
and represented 24 per cent of total financial investments held in respect of policyholders and shareholders at 31 
December 2025, compared with 20 per cent at 31 December 2024. The increase was mainly due to favourable equity 
market movements and asset allocation changes in our participating business during 2025.
Equity shares increased to US$11,855 million at 31 December 2025, compared with US$11,384 million at 31 December 
2024.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to US$8,772 million at 31 December 2025 compared with US$7,291 million at 
31 December 2024.

GROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER’S REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW

CAPITAL
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s capital management framework is focused on maintaining a robust regulatory solvency capital position 
while generating sustainable surplus capital to fund profitable new business growth and deliver returns to shareholders 
in a disciplined and transparent manner. The framework is supported by a clear capital management policy, which sets 
out a shareholder payout ratio target of 75 per cent of annual net FSG, together with a commitment to regularly review 
the Group’s capital position and return capital in excess of its needs.
Net FSG is calculated as UFSG less free surplus used to fund new business, unallocated Group Office expenses, finance 
costs and other capital movements. Net FSG in 2025 was US$4,451 million, an increase of 14 per cent per share. The 
resulting return to shareholders under the 75 per cent payout ratio target is US$3,339 million.
Following the Group’s established prudent, sustainable and progressive dividend policy, the Board has recommended 
a 10 per cent increase in final dividend to 144.08 Hong Kong cents per share.
The Board has also approved a new share buy-back programme of US$1,743 million under the Group’s capital 
management policy. This comprises US$743 million to meet the annual payout ratio target of 75 per cent of net FSG 
of US$3,339 million after dividends of approximately US$2,596 million(1) for the financial year 2025 and an additional 
US$1.0 billion following a regular review of the Group’s capital position. This results in an overall return to shareholders 
of US$4,339 million.
Since the commencement of our share buy-back programmes in March 2022, the Group has repurchased approximately 
1,603 million shares up to 31 December 2025, reducing the outstanding share count by 13 per cent.
Note:
(1)	 As calculated in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
FREE SURPLUS AND NET FREE SURPLUS GENERATION (NET FSG)
Free surplus provides the Group with the financial flexibility to invest in profitable new business growth, while 
absorbing the effects of capital market stress. It is the excess of adjusted net worth over required capital on the EV 
basis(1).
Free surplus increased from US$12,554 million at 31 December 2024 to US$15,678 million at 31 December 2025, 
before returning capital to shareholders.
A key driver of the increase was net FSG of US$4,451 million, which grew by 14 per cent per share in 2025 due to 
higher UFSG and a 6 per cent reduction in free surplus used to fund new business to US$1,437 million.
Lower new business investment reflected a proactive shift to less capital-intensive products, most notably in Mainland 
China. This resulted in VONB growing faster than new business reinvestment, generating greater value for every dollar 
of capital invested and adding US$6,953 million to the discounted value of projected after-tax distributable earnings(2) 
in 2025.
The strong growth in free surplus from net FSG was partly offset by investment return variances and other items of 
negative US$1,327 million, broadly in line with the figure previously reported at the interim results. Investment return 
variances and other items included US$390 million related to additional growth capital provided to China Post Life and 
the acquisition of New Medical Centre Holding Limited in Hong Kong, reductions of US$146 million from foreign 
exchange translation and US$169 million from a local regulatory reserving change in Thailand.
After shareholder returns of US$4,706 million, free surplus was US$10,972 million at 31 December 2025.
Notes:
(1)	 After consolidated reserving and capital requirements and deducting certain assets not eligible for regulatory capital purposes.

GROUP LCSM SOLVENCY POSITION
Under the GWS capital adequacy rules, the Group’s solvency is measured based on the LCSM, which aggregates the 
available capital, minimum capital requirements and prescribed capital requirements measured under the regulatory 
requirements of each entity within the Group.
The Group LCSM coverage ratio remained strong at 233 per cent at 31 December 2025. This compared with 257 per 
cent at 31 December 2024, with the reduction largely due to capital returns to shareholders and increased capital 
requirements resulting from higher equity(1) asset balances.
Eligible group capital resources increased from US$77,650 million to US$81,341 million, mainly from in-force capital 
resources generation and new business written during the year, partly offset by capital returns to shareholders.
The group prescribed capital requirement (GPCR) increased from US$30,159 million to US$34,949 million, largely due 
to higher equity(1) asset balances and new business written during the year.
As a result, the Group LCSM surplus decreased from US$47,491 million to US$46,392 million.
Tier 1 group capital increased from US$49,316 million to US$50,901 million, with in-force capital resources generation 
partly offset by capital returns to shareholders.
The group minimum capital requirement (GMCR) increased from US$14,131 million to US$16,215 million, principally 
as a result of new business written during the year.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At 31 December 2025, eligible group capital resources in the GWS framework included the following items, which are 
included within Tier 2 group capital:
(i)	 US$7,101 million(1) of subordinated securities. Subordinated securities with a fixed maturity receive full capital 
credit up to the date that is 5 years prior to the date of maturity, with the capital credit then reducing at the rate of 
20 per cent per annum until maturity. Subordinated securities with a maturity where principal repayment is subject 
to a lock-in clause are not subject to capital credit amortisation. Perpetual subordinated securities receive full 
capital credit unless they are redeemed; and
(ii)	US$4,415 million(1) of senior notes issued before designation that have been approved by the HKIA as capital. Prior 
to maturity, the approved senior notes receive full capital credit until 14 May 2031, after which the capital credit 
reduces at the rate of 20 per cent per annum until 14 May 2036.
Note:
(1)	 The amounts represent the carrying value of MTNs contributing to eligible group capital resources.
GROUP LCSM COVERAGE RATIO SENSITIVITIES
Sensitivities of the Group LCSM coverage ratio to changes in equity prices and interest rates are consistent with those 
used for EV reporting and are shown below.
Interest rate sensitivities reflect a 50-basis point movement in current bond yield curves applied to asset values, with 
a corresponding movement in discount rates used in the valuation of liabilities. Eligible debt capital is held at carrying 
value and remains unchanged for the purposes of the sensitivity analysis. The direction and magnitude of interest rate 
sensitivities vary by market and may offset when aggregated at the Group level.

HOLDING COMPANY FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Holding company financial resources increased to US$15,213 million before shareholder dividends of US$2,427 
million and share buy-backs of US$2,279 million.
The increase was mainly due to capital flows from subsidiaries of US$5,045 million in 2025. Capital flows from 
subsidiaries were lower in 2025, reflecting higher amounts remitted in 2024 to provide additional support for the 
share buy-back programme.
After shareholder capital returns, holding company financial resources were US$10,507 million at 31 December 2025.

INSURANCE CAPITAL STANDARD
The Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) is a group-wide capital standard for Internationally Active Insurance Groups 
(IAIGs), adopted by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) as the quantitative element of the 
Common Framework (ComFrame) for the Supervision of IAIGs.
The ICS aims to provide a globally comparable risk-based measure of capital adequacy for IAIGs, based on requirements 
for valuation, capital requirements and qualifying capital resources. IAIS member regulators will be required to 
implement the minimum requirements of the ICS within local capital adequacy regimes for IAIGs, taking into 
consideration specific market circumstances.
A baseline self-assessment by IAIS member regulators, including the Hong Kong Insurance Authority (HKIA), of their 
local group capital adequacy regimes is expected to begin in 2026. These self-assessments are expected to be followed 
by in-depth targeted jurisdictional assessments of ICS implementation by the IAIS starting from 2027.
In 2025, the IAIS agreed on a set of High-Level Principles to guide the development of the ICS implementation 
assessment methodology as well as the development of the self-assessment questionnaire that jurisdictions will use 
to measure their ICS implementation progress. The principles require assessment against components of the ICS with 
reference to the technical requirements specified in the Level 1 and Level 2 ICS texts published by the IAIS. The IAIS 
has also published draft requirements on ICS supervisory reporting and ICS public disclosure in a public consultation 
on the development of material for ICS-related standards in ComFrame.
DOMESTIC SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT INSURER FRAMEWORK IN HONG KONG
In October 2025, the HKIA introduced a new framework for the classification of Domestic Systematically Important 
Insurers (D-SIIs) in Hong Kong, with the aim of addressing potential systemic risks posed by D-SIIs to the stability and 
effective functioning of Hong Kong’s financial system. The HKIA classified AIA Group Limited as a D-SII, noting that the 
Group is an IAIG adhering to robust standards under the group-wide supervision (GWS) framework of the HKIA, which 
imposes robust regulatory requirements on capital adequacy, risk management and internal controls. Accordingly, we 
do not expect any change to our operations or capital management policy as a result of this classification.
LOCAL SOLVENCY REQUIREMENTS
The Group’s individual branches and subsidiaries are also subject to supervision, including relevant capital 
requirements, in the jurisdictions in which they and their parent entities operate. The local operating units were in 
compliance with the capital requirements of their respective entity and local regulators in each of our geographical 
markets at 31 December 2025.
A number of regulators in the Group’s markets are undertaking reviews of their capital adequacy regimes taking into 
consideration the ICS, including the Hong Kong SAR(1), India, Indonesia, Macau SAR(2), Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

AIA’s proprietary Premier Agency strategy is the cornerstone of the Group’s success in building the industry’s leading 
agency that provides professional and personalised advice tailored to our customers’ protection and long-term savings 
needs. AIA’s disciplined and systematic approach sets our performance apart, driving excellent activity levels and 
superior scale and productivity. With over 96,000 active agents across 15 markets and a strong track record of 
execution, our unmatched talent advantage continues to support sustainable growth.
In 2025, the agency channel reinforced its position as AIA’s primary growth engine, contributing 73 per cent of total 
VONB and delivering 13 per cent VONB growth. This was supported by an increase in active agent numbers, improved 
agent productivity and a highly-attractive, capital efficient and profitable product mix. The strength of the agency 
channel is underpinned by AIA’s tied-agency model, which provides end-to-end control over product design, pricing 
discipline and customer engagement. This allows the Group to respond to changing market conditions with new 
products and shifts in mix to maintain underwriting and risk discipline, ensuring consistently high-quality growth.
Our Premier Agency strategy is anchored on the principles of quality and sustainability. Agency leaders play a vital role 
in ensuring our high standards are met through quality recruitment, training and the ongoing career development of 
high-performing agents. In 2025, the number of agency leaders grew by 7 per cent, which in turn helped increase the 
number of new recruits by 8 per cent.
New agent success is critical to sustainable growth. We maintain stringent recruitment standards, reinforced by 
AI-powered training and data-driven behavioural insights. Our AI-driven Role Play solutions, which are now used by 
over 35,000 agents across multiple markets, enhance advisory capabilities through real-time scenario practice 
sessions, driving measurable gains in activity and productivity. With improved training and digital tools, new agent 
productivity rose 11 per cent. The self-reinforcing cycle of higher recruitment levels with improved new agent success 
encourages our agency leaders to strive for further high-quality agency expansion.
We continue to drive higher agent productivity through structured agent segmentation and clear career pathways that 
incentivise and reward progression. Our Online-to-Offline (O2O), Existing Customer Marketing (ECM), and Individual 
Voluntary Solutions (IVS) initiatives enhance lead generation. In 2025, around five million online leads were generated 
for our agents, with a 17 per cent conversion rate, a clear indicator of its effectiveness in identifying customer needs 
and enhancing agent productivity. Across our five largest markets, O2O-generated leads accounted for over 50 per 
cent of their agency ANP.
Enduring relationships between our agents and customers drive strong persistency and higher repurchase rates, 
effectively reducing acquisition costs. Our continued focus on advice-intensive protection and long-term savings 
products has supported strong profitability, with VONB margin increasing by 3.4 pps to 71.5 per cent in 2025. Our 
comprehensive health and wealth propositions further increase our ability to meet the evolving needs of customers.
AIA’s leadership in professionalism is recognised globally. We remained the world’s number one MDRT company for 
the 11th consecutive year and hold the top position in nine markets, with AIA Hong Kong, AIA China, AIA Thailand, and 
Tata AIA Life ranked as the global top four individual companies.
With professional advice and compelling protection and savings solutions, AIA’s proprietary Premier Agency is 
uniquely positioned to capture Asia’s growth opportunities and deliver sustainable, profitable growth. The culture, 
processes and leadership depth embedded in AIA’s agency make the platform a long‑term strategic asset that is 
extremely difficult for competitors to emulate.

double-digit VONB growth across both bancassurance and intermediated channels.
Our deep relationships with leading banks and intermediaries are an important strategic pillar of AIA’s long-term 
growth strategy, providing a stable and diversified revenue stream by extending our reach to millions of customers 
through trusted financial partners. AIA is deeply embedded into our partners’ ecosystems, providing customers with 
additional protection and long-term savings solutions which complement our partners’ wealth propositions. Supported 
by our strong brand, extensive regional footprint and long-standing presence in Asia, AIA is uniquely positioned to 
build and deepen high-quality partnerships that allow us to meet the evolving protection and wealth needs of our 
consumers at scale.
VONB from partnerships grew by 22 per cent in 2025. Growth was broad-based, with double-digit increases in VONB 
from 12 markets, supported by disciplined execution, improved product profitability and a favourable geographical 
mix. VONB margin increased by 3.5 pps to 45.4 per cent.
In bancassurance, performance reflected the depth and longevity of the Group’s partnerships — which have an average 
duration of more than 20 years — with leading banks across Asia. We have built enduring relationships with institutions 
such as Bangkok Bank (Thailand), Public Bank Berhad (Malaysia), Bank Central Asia (Indonesia) and BPI (Philippines), 
as well as multinational partnerships with Citibank and Bank of East Asia. These relationships provide access to a 
large, established consumer base exceeding 100 million potential customers across Asia. Our strategy to increase 
customer penetration focuses on developing insurance offerings to closely align with our partners’ market segmentation 
and distribution models. This supports higher productivity, while maintaining pricing and underwriting discipline.
During the year, our increased focus on affluent and high‑net‑worth customer segments contributed to higher average 
case sizes at key bancassurance partners. This was supported by targeted product launches, structured customer 
engagement and continued investment in digital tools, which enhanced seller productivity to drive 20 per cent VONB 
growth and an increase in VONB margin – maintaining levels above 40 per cent – in our bancassurance channel.
Intermediated channels, including independent financial advisers (IFAs) and brokers, achieved 31 per cent VONB 
growth, reflecting selective relationship management and a focus on high-quality sales and servicing standards. By 
prioritising a targeted group of IFAs and brokers, the Group continues to access customers seeking independent 
advice, while maintaining disciplined growth and differentiated propositions.

In 2025, AIA delivered a resilient performance in Mainland China with VONB growth of 2 per cent after the impact of 
economic assumption changes reflecting the lower interest rate environment. Our business achieved a strong recovery 
in the second half of the year with VONB growth accelerating to 14 per cent. This sustained recovery was driven by our 
best-in-class agency, differentiated bancassurance channel, and disciplined execution of our geographical expansion 
strategy. This momentum continued into the first two months of 2026, where VONB increased over 20 per cent year-
on-year.
Premier Agency is AIA’s key competitive advantage in Mainland China, accounting for 85 per cent of VONB in 2025. 
Our agency consists entirely of professional, full-time, highly trained agents and is uniquely positioned to meet the 
substantial and growing demand for protection and long-term savings advice and solutions in Mainland China. In 
2025, we continued to grow our agency with a 14 per cent increase in the number of new recruits, which supported an 
8 per cent uplift in the overall number of active agents. Further enhancements to our proprietary training programmes 
and our digital and AI‑enabled tools helped recruits become active faster, resulting in 20 per cent growth in the number 
of active new agents.
Protection products, which provide more comprehensive cover and deeper wealth-preservation solutions, represent a 
core part of our agency offering, accounting for 44 per cent of agency VONB in the second half of 2025. We continued 
to expand our protection proposition in 2025, launching a participating product with a critical illness rider and a new 
medical product, which gives customers the flexibility to tailor and adjust coverage to meet their individual needs. We 
further enhanced our ecosystem of services, which complement our insurance products. In particular, we enriched our 
high-net-worth integrated solutions, which include family doctor access, retirement planning, youth education 
consulting, and insurance trust services for legacy planning, and this contributed to a 9 per cent increase in the 
number of policies sold having a total premium of at least RMB1 million.
AIA China’s bancassurance channel supported our resilient performance in 2025, accounting for 15 per cent of total 
VONB. We are differentiated by our selective bank partnerships focused on affluent and high-net-worth segments. 
This, in combination with our continued strengthening of core capabilities in data-driven customer segmentation and 
proposition innovation, has resulted in a double-digit increase in average case size.
Our ongoing geographical expansion is a unique element of AIA’s growth strategy in Mainland China. Since we began 
our expansion beyond the original five geographies, we now have nine new geographies with four launched successfully 
in 2025. VONB from the nine new regions increased by 45 per cent in 2025 to US$118 million and accounted for over 
9 per cent of AIA China’s VONB. We have set an ambition to grow this VONB by 40 per cent CAGR from 2025 to 2030, 
before economic assumption changes.
China Post Life
AIA China’s reported results do not include any contribution from China Post Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (China Post Life). 
China Post Life’s reported VONB(4) was RMB10.3 billion in 2025, an increase of 5 per cent compared to 2024, and 5.5 
times the previously disclosed 2020 full year result. AIA’s 24.99 per cent investment in China Post Life expands the 
Group’s exposure to growth opportunities in Mainland China through new channels and customer segments that are 
complementary to AIA China.

AIA Hong Kong achieved an excellent 28 per cent VONB growth in 2025, supported by a 21 per cent increase from 
domestic customers and 35 per cent growth from Mainland Chinese visitor (MCV) customers, with a balanced mix 
across the two customer segments. Within the domestic segment, over 60 per cent of VONB was generated from 
existing customers and 30 per cent from new Hong Kong residents, demonstrating both our ability to deepen 
relationships with our current customers and to expand our market presence. ANP grew by 26 per cent and VONB 
margin increased by 3.0 pps to 68.5 per cent, supported by the launch of a new flagship product.
AIA’s Premier Agency continued to lead the market in Hong Kong and Macau, delivering 26 per cent VONB growth in 
2025. This excellent performance was driven by a 9 per cent increase in the number of active agents and a 14 per cent 
uplift in productivity. As our principal distribution channel, agency contributed 70 per cent of AIA Hong Kong’s VONB.
AIA Hong Kong is the number one ranked company globally for MDRT members, underscoring its commitment to 
professionalism and delivering exceptional customer service. Accelerated recruitment and training efforts led to a 12 
per cent increase in the number of new recruits and the number of active new agents grew by 25 per cent. As a result, 
the proportion of total agency ANP generated by new agents in the year rose to 20 per cent and ANP exceeded 
pre-COVID levels, demonstrating both improved activation rates of new recruits and reinforcing the sustainability of 
future growth.
VONB from our partnership distribution channel grew 46 per cent, with 41 per cent from bancassurance and 49 per 
cent from the IFA and broker channel. This growth was supported by a product mix shift, enhanced customer 
segmentation and more tailored offerings. These factors contributed to improvements in customer experience and 
seller productivity. Deeper engagement with preferred brokers enabled AIA Hong Kong to maintain a disciplined focus 
on high-quality new business, while expanding its reach.
In addition, the launch of new and enhanced protection and long-term savings products broadened our offerings. 
These included products designed to provide essential critical illness protection at affordable premiums, as well as a 
retirement product offering greater flexibility, supporting growth across multiple customer segments.

AIA Thailand delivered 13 per cent VONB growth in 2025, reflecting the strength of its professional distribution and 
continued investment in digital tools supporting sales and customer engagement. Our business maintains a market-
leading position in protection solutions, with over 50 per cent market share in medical and critical illness riders, as well 
as unit-linked products. VONB margin increased by 11.4 pps to 110.9 per cent, boosted by strong sales of individual 
medical insurance products ahead of the introduction of industry-wide co-payment rules from March 2025, as 
previously disclosed. This produced exceptionally strong VONB growth in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a pull 
forward of demand. As a result, VONB is expected to be lower in the first quarter of 2026.
Our agency channel delivered 14 per cent VONB growth, supported by growth in the number of active agents and an 
increased VONB contribution from our Financial Advisers (FA), which accounted for over 40 per cent of agency VONB 
in 2025. Our structured FA programme recruits and develops high-quality and professional advisers through a stringent 
selection process followed by a year-long training curriculum. In 2025, our FAs were around three times as productive 
as standard agents and achieved an activity ratio of over 70 per cent in the first year. AIA Thailand remained the market 
leader with 44 per cent market share and continued to demonstrate leadership in agency professionalism. We 
maintained our number one MDRT ranking domestically, a position that we have held since our IPO in 2010, and 
remained third globally, behind AIA Hong Kong and AIA China.
Partnership distribution VONB increased by 11 per cent. Within our bancassurance channel, we saw a double-digit 
growth in the number of active insurance sellers and an increase in average case size with our strategic partnership 
with Bangkok Bank.
In the second half of 2025, we launched a new income-generating proposition targeted at the affluent and high-net-
worth segment, designed to provide stable income streams in volatile market conditions. Initial results indicate strong 
demand, and we will continue to innovate in this space to capture emerging opportunities, while supporting customers 
in addressing the evolving needs of an ageing society.

AIA Singapore delivered 14 per cent VONB growth, supported by double-digit growth from both our agency and 
partnership distribution channels. This performance reflected our continued success in capturing the expanding 
wealth opportunities across the affluent and high-net-worth, and domestic and international customer segments, 
delivering strong sales in unit-linked long-term savings products. While this shift influenced the overall mix of new 
business and contributed to a lower VONB margin of 47.0 per cent, it was more than offset by 23 per cent ANP growth, 
leading to higher overall VONB.
The agency channel achieved 10 per cent VONB growth, driven by a 19 per cent increase in new recruits and higher 
productivity. Our agency leadership programmes have successfully generated 23 per cent growth in the number of 
new leaders, a critical pillar to the sustainable execution of our Premier Agency strategy. Continued investment in 
digital platforms and training supported improved adviser effectiveness, productivity and professional standards. As a 
result, AIA Singapore maintained its number one MDRT ranking domestically, a position it has now held for 11 years, 
underscoring the depth and quality of its agency force and the sustainability of its distribution capabilities.
Partnership distribution delivered VONB growth of 31 per cent, supported by strong demand for high-net-worth 
propositions across partners. The strategic bancassurance partnership with Citibank delivered very strong double-
digit VONB growth, reflecting momentum from the offshore customer segment and the strength of AIA Singapore’s 
comprehensive wealth propositions.
Overall, the performance of AIA Singapore reflected disciplined execution across distribution channels and a continued 
focus on targeted affluent and high-net-worth customer segments, supporting sustainable growth.

AIA Malaysia reported slight growth in VONB for the full year, as a recovery in the second half offset a challenging start 
to the year in the agency channel, as previously reported. VONB growth in the second half reflected improving 
momentum as earlier market disruptions began to ease.
Following developments in the Malaysian health insurance market announced in December 2024, a significant 
proportion of agency capacity in the first half of 2025 was focused on advising existing customers on policy options, 
which reduced frontline selling activity, as disclosed in the interim results. As these effects moderated in the second 
half, agency performance improved quarter-on-quarter, supported by higher productivity. Recruitment momentum 
also strengthened, with an increase in new recruits in the second half of the year compared with the first half, delivering 
a strong year-on-year uplift in December.
Partnership distribution delivered 17 per cent VONB growth, supported by both bancassurance and corporate 
solutions. Performance from our strategic bancassurance relationship with Public Bank Berhad reflected higher 
productivity among insurance specialists and continued expansion of wealth propositions, including the launch of a 
first-to-market life insurance product targeted at high-net-worth customers. VONB from our market-leading corporate 
solutions business delivered very strong growth, driven by both new schemes and renewals, supported by disciplined 
underwriting and execution.
Overall, performance in Malaysia reflected the resilience of our multi-channel distribution model and its ability to 
respond to market developments and deliver a high-quality product mix, with VONB margin increasing to 72.2 per 
cent.

Overview
VONB for Other Markets increased by 7 per cent with positive growth in seven of our markets.
Geographical Market Highlights
Australia: VONB declined in 2025 reflecting fewer attractive new market opportunities in group insurance, particularly 
in the second half. Despite this, AIA Australia maintained its number two ranking in the in-force market, supporting the 
stability of the existing portfolio.
Cambodia: VONB increased during the year, supported by growth in both our agency and partnership channels.
India: Our joint venture in India, Tata AIA Life, delivered excellent VONB growth in 2025, supported by contributions 
from both our agency and partnership channels. Our Premier Agency, the top-ranked agency in India for MDRT 
members, reported excellent VONB growth in 2025, supported by a double-digit increase in the number of active 
agents. We continue to build our agency and saw strong double-digit growth in both the number of agency leaders and 
new recruits. The partnership channel achieved very strong growth, driven by our bank partners as well as the 
intermediated channels.
The business maintained its market leadership in protection, ranking number one in the industry by retail sum assured, 
and delivered best-in-class persistency, underscoring our commitment to business quality. We also continued to rank 
the third largest private life insurer in India based on individual weighted new business premiums. Ongoing investment 
in digital and AI capabilities supported scalable delivery and personalised customer experiences across key segments.
Indonesia: VONB was lower, with the cessation of our partnership with a former bancassurance partner in November 
2024. We continued to strengthen our distribution capabilities with higher numbers of active agents and insurance 
specialists across our agency and bancassurance channels. Our strategic partnership with Bank Central Asia delivered 
record sales in 2025 – the highest since the start of our 19-year collaboration.
Myanmar: AIA Myanmar delivered excellent ANP growth in 2025, despite business disruption following the March 
2025 earthquake. This was supported by double-digit growth in the number of active agents and expansion of active 
bank branches.
New Zealand: VONB grew in 2025, supported by both our intermediated and bancassurance channels, and the 
business maintained its market-leading position in life insurance new business premiums.
Philippines: VONB was lower as growth from the partnership channel was offset by a decline in agency. Performance 
in the partnership channel was driven by our joint venture with BPI, BPI-AIA, where our focus on the affluent segment 
supported higher average case sizes. The agency channel continued to focus on quality recruitment and productivity 
to support longer-term growth.
South Korea: AIA Korea delivered an excellent performance in 2025, supported by both bancassurance and agency. 
The business continued to diversify its multi-channel mix and expanded the product range with a suite of new and 
innovative propositions.

from partnerships increased by c.90 per cent with excellent growth from all three bancassurance partnerships, 
including our long-term exclusive partnership with the Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC.

by exchange-rate volatility. During the year, the business continued to strengthen its distribution capabilities by 
expanding its partnership network with brokers and banks, reinforcing the foundations for sustainable, long-term 
business growth.
Vietnam: AIA Vietnam delivered excellent VONB growth in 2025, with double-digit growth from both agency and

RISK MANAGEMENT
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Group recognises the importance of sound risk management in every aspect of our business and for all stakeholders. 
For our policyholders, it supports safeguarding their interests and our ability to meet our obligations to them. For 
investors, it is key to protecting and enhancing the long-term value of their investment. Finally, for regulators, sound 
risk management supports industry growth and enhances the public’s trust in the industry.
The Group’s Risk Management Framework (RMF) does not seek to eliminate all risks but rather to identify, understand 
and manage them within acceptable limits in order to support the creation of long-term value. The Group’s RMF is 
built around developing an appropriate and mindful Risk Culture at every level of the organisation in support of our 
strategic objectives. The Group’s RMF provides business units with appropriate tools, processes and capabilities for 
the ongoing identification, assessment, management and response, monitoring and reporting of the Group’s principal 
risks in an integrated manner.
The Group’s RMF consists of the following key components:
•	
Risk Governance;
•	
Risk Culture;
•	
Risk Strategy and Appetite; 
•	
Risk Management Process; and
•	
Risk Reporting, Systems and Tools.
RISK GOVERNANCE
THREE LINES
The Group’s Risk Governance framework is built on the “Three Lines” model. The objective is to ensure that an 
appropriate framework is in place, including an independent system of checks and balances, to provide assurance that 
risks are identified, assessed, managed and governed properly. The framework clearly defines roles and responsibilities 
for the management of risk between Executive Management (First Line), Risk and Compliance (R&C) (Second Line) 
and Internal Audit (Third Line) functions.
The First Line is made up of the business, who are the Risk Takers and are responsible for operating within the Group’s 
RMF, including implementing effective controls to mitigate risks within the Risk Appetite of the Group and the relevant 
business units.
The Second Line consists of the R&C function, which provides independent challenge and advice to the First Line. It 
ensures that the Group’s RMF remains appropriate and effective with respect to the risk profile and operations, and 
risks are being managed appropriately within Risk Tolerances of the Group and the relevant business unit.
The Third Line is the Group Internal Audit (GIA) function, which is independent of the First and Second Lines and reports 
to the Audit Committee. GIA is responsible for independently assessing and reporting on the overall effectiveness of 
risk management, internal controls and governance processes.
The Three Lines converge at the Board, which retains overall responsibility for the Group’s RMF. The Board is supported 
and advised by four Board Committees, namely the Audit Committee, the Risk Committee, the Remuneration Committee 
and the Nomination Committee.

RISK COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
The Risk Committee structure is designed to:
•	
ensure consistent application of the RMF across the Group;
•	
provide streamlined processes for the timely identification, assessment and escalation of risk issues;
•	
provide objective analysis of risk issues enabling informed decision-making; and
•	
ensure discussion and challenge in relation to risk issues in suitable forums leading to optimal outcomes.
The Board
The Board retains overall responsibility for oversight of the Group’s risk management activities. In this regard, the 
Board sets the Group’s Risk Appetite, approves the Group’s RMF (including amendments or refinements from time to 
time) and monitors material group-wide risks. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Board is supported and advised 
by the Risk Committee.
Risk Committee
The Risk Committee oversees risk management and compliance across the Group and advises the Board on all risk-
related issues requiring Board attention. The members of the Risk Committee are all Board directors, with the majority 
of members, including the Committee Chairperson, being Independent Non-executive Directors. The Risk Committee 
meets at least four times a year.
Operational Risk and Financial Risk Committees
The Risk Committee is supported by two Executive Risk Committees which, between them, oversee the management 
of all risks. The Operational Risk Committee (ORC) is chaired by the Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and oversees 
risks associated with failure in internal processes, personnel and systems or from external events. The Financial Risk 
Committee (FRC) is chaired by the Group Chief Executive and President and oversees risks associated with financial, 
insurance and investment activities. The ORC and FRC each meet at least four times a year.
The above Risk Committee structure is replicated at the business unit level where applicable.

RISK CULTURE
Risk Culture defines the Group’s attitude to risks and ensures its remuneration structure promotes the right behaviour. 
Strong Risk Culture facilitates organisational resilience and supports sustainable success in delivering on our 
commitment to customers in the long term.
ACCOUNTABILITY
A key component of the Group’s Risk Culture is accountability. The First Line generally consists of business unit 
management and is responsible for managing risks associated with their businesses. The R&C function makes up our 
Second Line and is headed by the Group CRO who has overall accountability for the R&C function across the Group. 
Within each business unit, the business unit CRO is a senior position with a primary reporting line to the Group CRO or 
Regional CROs, and a secondary reporting line to the business unit Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This structure ensures 
independence of the Second Line while ensuring business unit CROs have full access to local business discussions to 
provide risk management perspectives and insights. The Group CRO is a member of the Group Executive Committee 
while business unit CROs are, in most cases, also members of their respective business unit Executive Committees.
REMUNERATION
The Company’s executive remuneration structure ensures appropriate consideration of the Group’s RMF within a 
strong performance-oriented culture. This is supported by a performance management system where all staff are 
measured on ‘how’ as well as ‘what’ they deliver. This structure places significant emphasis on conduct as well as 
achievement, and is consistent with our fundamental Operating Philosophy of “Doing the Right Thing, in the Right Way, 
with the Right People... and the Right Results will come”.
RISK STRATEGY AND APPETITE
Risk Strategy describes the types of risks, and how and to what extent they are taken in order to pursue the Group’s 
strategy and business objectives. The Group’s Risk Appetite Framework establishes the quantum and nature of risks 
the Group is prepared to take to achieve its strategic objectives.
1.	 The Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) is an overarching statement on the enterprise’s attitude to risk;
2.	 Risk Principles and Risk Tolerances are qualitative statements and quantitative metrics that expand and validate 
the RAS; and
3.	 Risk Limits are used to manage specific risks.
RISK APPETITE STATEMENT
The Group has adopted the following RAS:
“The amount of risk taken by AIA in the ordinary course of its business will be sufficient to meet its customers’ 
reasonable requirements for protection and benefits while ensuring that the level and volatility of shareholder returns 
are in line with a broadly-based risk profile appropriate for a pan-Asian life and health insurance group.”

RISK MANAGEMENT
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
RISK PRINCIPLES AND RISK TOLERANCES
The RAS is supported by five Risk Principles:
Risk Principles
Regulatory Capital
“AIA has no appetite for regulatory non-compliance and as such will ensure that we hold 
sufficient capital to meet our current statutory minimum solvency in all but the most extreme 
market conditions.”
Financial Strength
“AIA will ensure the Group’s ability to meet all future commitments to our customers, both 
financial obligations and in terms of the promises we make to them. We will maintain 
sufficient capital to support a Financial Strength Rating that meets our business needs.”
Liquidity
“AIA will maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our expected financial commitments as they  
fall due.”
Earnings Volatility
“AIA will seek to deliver reported operating earnings consistent with expectations and will 
implement policies, limits and controls to contain operational risks, risk concentrations and 
insurance risks within reasonable tolerances.”
Business Practice
“AIA will uphold high ethical standards and will implement sound internal controls to 
minimise the downside risk from the impact of any operational failures within reasonable 
tolerances.”
Risk Tolerances and Risk Limits, including granular measures and indicators, are used to monitor and control specific 
risk types.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The Group has a robust process that provides sufficient information, capability and tools to manage its key risks. Risks 
which the Group proactively accepts are identified, quantified and managed to support the creation of long-term value.
RISK IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
Timely and complete identification of risks is an essential first step to the Risk Management Process. The R&C 
function has developed a systematic process to identify existing and emerging risks in the business units. The 
Group’s risk taxonomy enables a consistent identification and classification of existing and emerging risks inherent 
in business activities.
Quantification of risk is important in establishing the level of exposure and in determining the appropriate management 
actions within the Group’s Risk Tolerances. Specific approaches to quantifying risk are applied depending upon the 
nature of the risk, including regular capital assessments, and stress and scenario testing.
MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE
Executives working in the First Line are responsible for the execution of appropriate actions and other risk mitigation 
strategies to transfer, mitigate or eliminate risks considered outside of Risk Tolerances. They are also responsible for 
the timely escalation of material risk developments.

RISK MONITORING
Risks are evaluated against approved Risk Tolerances and Risk Limits to ensure implications for both the current and 
forward-looking risk profile are understood and appropriately considered in decision-making.
RISK CONTROLS
Risks which the Group seeks to mitigate are managed through an effective internal controls system to maintain 
exposures within an acceptable residual level. The Operational Risk and Control Framework (ORCF) has been designed 
to ensure that the Group operates in accordance with the expectations of stakeholders. A primary component of 
the ORCF is the Risk and Control Assessment (RCA), which is a regular evaluation of the business’ operational risks 
and control effectiveness to ensure that information and perspectives on the internal control environment are 
appropriately considered.
RISK REPORTING, SYSTEMS AND TOOLS
Risk reporting represents the internal and external R&C reporting processes which support an ongoing evaluation of 
the Group’s risk profile. Information is gathered from underlying systems and provided to the Board, respective Risk 
Committees and other executive management to inform key decision-making, such as via the annual Group Own Risk 
and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) Report.
THE GROUP’S PRINCIPAL RISKS
The Group’s principal risks, while not exhaustive, and the strategies to manage the risks are detailed below.
FINANCIAL RISKS
The Group’s primary financial risks are insurance risk and market risk. AIA’s insurance operations are exposed to 
insurance risk primarily from changes in mortality and morbidity experience, the acquisition and persistency of 
insurance business, and business expenses. This also includes changes to assumptions regarding future experience 
for these risks. Market risk relates to the adverse price movements and credit defaults leading to financial losses 
immediately, as well as losses over time due to a mismatch in asset and liability cashflows. It includes credit risk, credit 
spread risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Please refer to note 34 to the 
consolidated financial statements on pages 278 to 295 of this Annual Report for details on financial risks, including 
exposures and sensitivity analysis.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
Operational risks arise from internal processes, personnel and systems or from external events which may result in 
a direct or indirect business impact. The Group’s RMF includes a mechanism for identifying, assessing, managing, 
monitoring and reporting operational risks to ensure that potential risk exposures arising from operational activities 
do not exceed the Group’s Risk Tolerances.
Data Risk
As a data-driven organisation, AIA continues to focus on managing the risk of incomplete or invalid data, or 
mishandling of data, through a variety of Information Security standards and protocols as well as our Group Data 
Governance Standard and Group Data Protection Standard. Data Councils are established at the Group and business 
unit level for enhanced data management governance and controls. AIA established its data risk management 
capabilities by implementing comprehensive data quality measures across functions and maintained oversight 
through Group and business unit level Data Councils monitoring Critical Data Elements, data quality issues, key data 
privacy and protection incidents. In addition, a Group Data Privacy Standard is in place which is aligned to leading 
industry standards.

RISK MANAGEMENT
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
Environmental, Social and Governance-Related Risk
AIA’s Sustainability Report 2025 is published on the Company’s website at www.aia.com and the website of Hong 
Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk and provides an update on our sustainability strategy, 
initiatives and progress. AIA’s sustainability governance framework and strategy are embedded in the organisation, 
enabling the Group to effectively manage Environmental, Social and Governance-related risks and opportunities 
across all businesses.
Financial Crime Risk 
Financial crime risk refers to the risk of breach of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing 
(CTF) laws and regulations. AIA is committed to a strict programme of compliance with all applicable AML/CTF laws 
and regulations to prevent the use of its products and services for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes. 
The Group AML/CTF Standard sets out the detailed requirements of the Group AML/CTF Programme, including a risk-
based approach to conducting customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, training 
and record keeping. AIA uses appropriate AML/CTF monitoring software and tools to screen risk profile and monitor 
customer activity. Employees and agents are required to complete AML/CTF training. In addition, our Group Economic 
Sanctions Standard sets out standards to manage the risk of dealings with governments, individuals and entities 
subject to sanctions programmes.
Fraud Risk 
Fraud risk arises from fraudulent activities committed by internal and/or external parties to cause a loss (including 
monetary loss, reputational damage or regulatory fines) to AIA or others. AIA adopts a zero-tolerance approach to 
fraud, with clear standards for consequence management, including discipline. The Group Anti-Fraud Standard / Group 
Whistleblowing Standard and respective trainings provide guidance to employees on their responsibilities to be 
vigilant in identifying and reporting potential fraud impacting AIA or our customers, including through whistleblowing 
channels. Detective controls include monitoring and modelling of intermediary conduct and checks on employees’ 
expenses.
Operational Resilience Risk
Operational resilience ensures effective preparedness and response to disruptive events, which involve the availability 
of critical staff, critical systems, and premises. AIA has a robust Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework in 
place, aligned with leading industry standards. Critical staffs have designated backups, with the required capability and 
technology/systems to work remotely, whilst Disaster Recovery readiness and recovery objectives have been defined, 
validated and tested for critical systems. The group-wide BCM system enables real-time monitoring, automation of 
reports and digital dashboards. General BCM awareness as well as certified professional training programmes are 
undertaken to enhance response capabilities of our people.
People Risk
Our organisation and people strategy enables us to attract, retain and develop outstanding people, making AIA an 
employer of choice across our markets. We monitor engagement across our business units and functions each year 
through the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey. This provides meaningful inputs that inform targeted and 
impactful strategies to maintain and enhance our strong levels of engagement. AIA is also committed to developing 
strong internal leadership capability, with a succession pipeline that drives personal growth for our people, shapes our 
organisation, and ultimately supports sustainable business growth. Moreover, employees’ physical, mental, social and 
financial health continue to be a priority in retaining top talent and sustaining high performance. Please refer to the 
Our People and Culture section on pages 68 to 73 of this Annual Report for additional details.

Regulatory Risk
Regulatory risk concerns the risk of financial loss or reputational damage due to the failure to comply with or address 
changes to regulatory requirements, guidelines and expectations. We continue to monitor adherence to various 
new and existing regulatory requirements in various jurisdictions as well as international developments, including 
Insurance Capital Standard (ICS). On 17 October 2025, AIA has been classified by its group supervisor, Hong Kong 
Insurance Authority, as a Domestic Systemically Important Insurer (D-SII) under its newly introduced framework for 
macroprudential supervision. Please refer to the Regulatory and International Developments section on page 51 of 
this Annual Report for details.
Sales Conduct Risk
Sales conduct risk arises from inappropriate marketing and sales practices which may result in poor outcomes for 
customers and reputational damage or financial loss to the Group. It is managed in accordance with group-wide 
standards on business quality, which set out the minimum requirements to promote the right outcomes for customers 
and the right culture across intermediaries. Agents are licensed by the respective regulators and further trained by 
AIA on the relevant regulatory and company policy requirements, including AIA Code of Conduct requirements. The 
interactive Point of Sale (iPoS) tool facilitates the sale process, supported by minimum standards covering product 
suitability, handling of vulnerable customers and non-face-to-face sales. Sales practices are monitored through 
various means, including direct verification calls with customers, mystery shopping, sample-based quality assurance 
reviews of controls, and investigation of inappropriate sales practices.
Technology Risk
AIA manages technology risk in accordance with industry policies, practices and benchmarks. In 2025, AIA maintained 
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 certification covering identity access management, 
cybersecurity and cloud security operations and we regularly perform an independent cybersecurity maturity 
assessment against the standards of the United States’ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With 
growing use cases of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) in the Group, AIA has established AI governance through 
the Group Responsible Use of AI Standard and the Group and business units AI Councils.
Third-Party Risk
AIA engages a variety of third parties in the normal course of its business operations, and has in place minimum 
requirements for assessing, managing and governing third parties, including with respect to third-party security, 
operational resilience and regulatory compliance. AIA identifies, captures and monitors third-party risk through a 
group-wide Third Party Management System. External and intra-group outsourcing arrangements that are material 
from Group perspective are identified and a register of material group outsourcing arrangements is maintained.

OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
At AIA, our people are central to our continued ability to deliver on our Purpose to help millions of people across 
Asia live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives1. Our employees and agency force represent different geographies and 
communities, enriching our social fabric, strengthening the culture of our business and enabling us to create value for 
our stakeholders.
Nurturing our culture, building a future-ready workforce and supporting our people so that they can achieve their 
potential are key priorities of our people strategy. Our commitment to these priorities enables us to attract, retain and 
develop outstanding people, with market recognition of AIA as a preferred employer across the region.
NURTURING OUR CULTURE
We continually nurture, promote and protect our culture – the way we work – because it brings us together, connects 
our people to our shared Purpose and guides each of our actions, regardless of where we are and what we do. Our 
culture is a shared foundation that aligns employees across markets and supports consistent execution on our priorities 
as the business continues to grow in scale and complexity.
Our culture is anchored on our Purpose, a clear point of reference of the work we do and informs the decisions and 
actions that our people make. It reinforces our commitment to supporting the well-being of customers, communities 
and colleagues.
Our Operating Philosophy of “Doing the Right Thing, in the Right Way, with the Right People… and the Right Results 
will come” guides decision-making across the Group. We believe that prioritising what is right will support sustainable 
long-term outcomes for those we serve – our customers, the communities we operate in and our shareholders.
The AIA Essentials of Clarity, Courage and Humanity set out expected behaviours of everyone, with a focus on 
prioritisation, accountability, effective execution and collaboration.
AIA operates through a model of empowerment within a framework. Leaders in the markets are empowered to 
make locally relevant decisions, subject to Group governance frameworks, strategy, standards and risk parameters. 
Employees feel a personal stake in our collective success, making decisions and taking initiative within parameters, 
guidelines and authority limits that continually improve how we operate.
Together, the four principles that underpin our culture create an engaging environment where our employees not only 
deliver their best every day but continually strive to deliver better. This pursuit for continual improvement is captured 
in our people proposition of Believe in Better.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
We believe that a collaborative and inclusive workplace with high levels of employee engagement boosts performance, 
well-being, loyalty and long-term business success. Each year, AIA monitors engagement across our business units 
and functions through the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey. Our 2025 survey was completed by 98 per 
cent of employees and the Group’s employee engagement scores placed AIA in the 92nd percentile of Gallup’s global 
finance and insurance industry benchmark.
Note:
(1) As at 31 December 2025, AIA had a total of 25,981 employees, which includes full-time and part-time employees as well as employees on fixed-term 
contracts, and excludes interns, agents of the Group, employees of MediCard Philippines, Inc. (MediCard), Amplify Health Asia Pte. Limited (Amplify
Health), The New Medical Center Limited (New Medical Center), AcuScan Advanced Imaging Hong Kong Limited (AcuScan), our joint venture Tata AIA 
Life, and our associate China Post Life. All figures related to the number of employees in this report exclude MediCard, Amplify Health, New Medical
Center, AcuScan, our joint venture Tata AIA Life, and our associate China Post Life. Including MediCard, Amplify Health, New Medical Center and
AcuScan, AIA had a total of 27,524 employees.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Survey results are reviewed by leaders, managers and employees at team, function and business unit levels. This 
informs employee-facing strategies that help maintain and enhance our strong levels of engagement so we can support 
a resilient and sustainable business. This continued attention to act on survey results and feedback has helped AIA’s 
employee engagement levels remain in the top quartile of this benchmark for the ninth consecutive year, and in the 
top 10th percentile for five consecutive years.
In 2025, we were again recognised for our strong employee engagement and performance-oriented culture with the 
Group receiving the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for the fourth consecutive year.
BUILDING FUTURE LEADERS
Our leaders play a key role in shaping our culture and sustaining employee engagement. AIA is committed to developing 
strong internal leadership capability and providing ample opportunities for our people to grow and support sustainable 
business growth.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We deliver leadership programmes through the AIA Leadership Centre (ALC), our world-class learning facility in 
Bangkok, Thailand. We partner with world-renowned business schools and consulting firms to develop tailored 
programmes for AIA’s senior leaders, top distribution and agency leaders, and executives from our key partners. These 
programmes are designed to support leaders to deliver on our strategic priorities and empower them to meet our 
commitments to our customers and the communities in which we operate.
Our suite of leadership programmes strengthens our talent pipeline by supporting the development of future senior 
leaders as well as current and aspiring leaders in our business units and senior Group Office leadership roles. We 
regularly review and update the programmes to address emerging leadership demands and business priorities.
In 2025, AIA was recognised by the Association for Talent Development, a leading global authority in talent development, 
with a ‘2025 Excellence in Practice Award’ for SPARK, one of the Group’s flagship leadership programmes.
SUCCESSION AND ORGANISATION PLANNING
Our annual Group Organisation and People Review supports forward-looking succession planning by identifying and 
preparing successors for all key leadership roles. In 2025, more than 70 per cent of our leadership appointments were 
filled by internal leaders, reflecting our commitment to nurturing talent from within.
We also continue to broaden diversity within AIA’s leadership team. This includes attracting top leadership talent from 
different backgrounds, with the skills needed to shape and drive our future organisation.
BUILDING A FUTURE-READY WORKFORCE
In both established and emerging business areas, we are focused on building our workforce’s capabilities and 
helping our people reach their potential. This includes investing in capability development, reskilling and upskilling 
programmes, and attracting talent with specialised skills aligned to strategic priorities.
These initiatives support the Group’s business strategy, including transformation in technology, digital and analytics 
(TDA) and adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). We also continue to build capabilities to advance 
the Group’s Integrated Healthcare Strategy with healthcare learning programmes to upskill our current leaders and 
employees.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Our learning culture supports our people in their current roles and as they grow and progress within AIA.
Our focus on learning is a key part of our ambition to ensure that our people can upskill, reskill, work more flexibly, and 
adapt to the changing world of work. Our holistic learning approach empowers our people to learn new knowledge and 
skills, including through on-the-job experiences, mobility, collaborative projects, in-person and virtual lessons, digital 
self-learning, mentoring and coaching.
Career mobility and assignments in different business units or functions provide new and valuable learning 
opportunities for employees while also building connections across the Group. These assignments provide 
opportunities to learn new skills and help develop our people’s personal AIA networks.
We continuously review emerging industry skills, design programmes to meet these needs and improve them using 
employee feedback. Our people also complete regular mandatory training in technical, governance and conduct-
related topics. We have launched new learning programmes and enhanced existing programmes to develop new 
capabilities, nurture talent and upskill employees in core lines of business across the Group, including:
•	
GenAI Learning Pathways which provide AIA employees with a practical understanding of generative artificial 
intelligence. The structured digital learning programme builds on the Responsible Use of AI module that was 
introduced to all employees at the beginning of the year and provides a step-by-step approach to build confidence 
and capability in using GenAI in day-to-day work responsibilities across different roles. Within the first 60 days of 
launch, over 3,000 employees enrolled in the learning pathways.
•	
Healthcare for leaders equips senior AIA leaders to provide better healthcare solutions by helping them recognise 
commercial and customer opportunities within AIA’s Integrated Healthcare Strategy and strengthen key capabilities 
focused on healthcare execution and management. Over 75 per cent of leaders in our core healthcare markets have 
completed the programme and more business unit-localised healthcare programmes will be planned for 2026.
The AIA Learning Hub continues to support self-directed learning through an extensive catalogue of digital courses 
accessible across all business units. We continue to see year-on-year increases in the adoption of digital learning.
EMPLOYEE COACHING AND INTERNSHIPS 
Employee coaching helps our people improve their skills and confidence in their roles at AIA. As a valuable tool for 
building our skills and capabilities, employee coaching is included in our leadership programmes. To this end, we 
also encourage our employees to expand their networks, seek guidance and foster communications across different 
departments and seniorities.
We also recognise the value of internships and our business unit internship programmes provide interns with first-
hand career experience with AIA and the opportunity to learn critical skills in a high-performing, customer-focused 
environment. These programmes also enable us to identify future talent to join our business.
RECOGNISING AND REWARDING OUR PEOPLE
AIA is committed to recognising our people through fair and equitable performance evaluations that acknowledge their 
contributions, achievements and behaviours. Our performance management framework and performance appraisal 
process encourage regular and meaningful conversations about individual and team progress. This approach provides 
every employee at AIA with the opportunity to receive regular ongoing feedback and engage in two-way conversations 
about their performance, progress and development opportunities.
Our people managers regularly check in with their teams throughout the year to discuss accomplishments and assess 
progress against performance objectives. These conversations celebrate progress and success, identify areas where 
additional support may be needed, and offer guidance and coaching to help drive professional growth in their team 
members’ roles.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To attract, motivate, and retain a diverse group of talented people, AIA is committed to rewarding employees 
competitively and fairly, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, age, disability or any other non-performance-related factors. 
Our reward programmes are designed to be transparent and market-aligned giving employees a clear understanding 
of our total rewards offerings.
We also offer an Employee Share Purchase Plan, enabling employees to purchase AIA shares and receive matching 
shares over time during their employment. This programme gives employees a direct ownership stake in the company’s 
success, reinforces our commitment to a long-term, sustainable business, and fosters a shared sense of purpose 
and participation in the journey. In 2025, AIA’s Employee Share Purchase Plan was recognised by the Global Equity 
Organization and awarded ‘Best Use of Equity in an Emerging Market’ for companies with 25,000 to 100,000 employees.
EMBEDDING OUR PURPOSE THROUGH WELL-BEING SUPPORT
Our Purpose, to help people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives, applies to our employees just as much as to our 
customers. Through group-wide benefits and well-being programmes, we encourage our people and their families to 
look after their physical, mental, social and financial health.
One of the ways we do this is through Wellbeing@AIA, a programme available in all our markets and built on the 
same offering we provide to our corporate customers. Each business unit tailors the activities and support to suit local 
needs; but all include a mix of learning sessions, health-focused events, and both in-person and virtual activities.
Wellbeing@AIA includes Me@AIA, our bespoke mental resilience programme with specialised modules and resources 
for individuals, teams and managers. Since launch, Me@AIA has helped 7,800 employees across 18 markets with 
individual energy management and stress recovery techniques, supported teams to build psychological safety and 
team ownership of collective well-being, and enabled managers to foster supportive work environments. In 2025, we 
expanded the Me@AIA programme with the PERMAH well-being model, based on a globally recognised evidence-
based well-being framework. To deepen support, we continued to partner with Red Cross to deliver Psychological First 
Aid certifications to employees.
Our employees can also access a range of well-being benefits such as discounted gym memberships, access to sports 
and recreational facilities, and dedicated wellness spaces, including nursing rooms. We continue to offer flexible 
working options to help people balance work and home life. These include hybrid work arrangements as a standard 
work pattern and alternative working hours.
SUPPORTING A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE CULTURE
When we bring people together from a range of backgrounds, we succeed in delivering our Purpose as one team. 
AIA fosters an inclusive workplace that welcomes and celebrates differences and encourages open and constructive 
dialogues. Across our markets, we actively encourage and seek out diverse perspectives because we believe that this 
leads to greater innovation, better decision-making, increased adaptability, and improved problem solving.
Our commitment to an inclusive workplace is reflected in the AIA Group Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging 
Standard. All new employees are required to complete training on AIA’s Code of Conduct, which includes our approach 
to inclusion and non-discrimination. Our Employee Conduct Standard and training on unconscious bias and anti-
harassment outline these expectations for all employees as well as appropriate standards of workplace conduct and 
professionalism, and channels for escalation.
AIA is committed to providing a work environment free of bullying and harassment and we work hard to create an 
inclusive workplace that values and embraces individuals from all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis 
of race, religion, gender, nationality, age, disability, military service, marital status or sexual orientation.

OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
Our efforts mean people of all genders, backgrounds and experiences are drawn to work for AIA, and we have been 
recognised as an employer of choice across the region. As at 31 December 2025, women represented 57.2 per cent of 
our employee population and 42.1 per cent of our senior leaders across the Group were women.
Cultural and national diversity enriches our social fabric, with 69 nationalities represented across AIA as at 31 
December 2025. We recognise the importance of understanding different generational needs and our people policies 
and practices enable us to create an inclusive workplace for all age groups.
We continue to foster an inclusive and engaging workplace through locally-led employee networks in the markets, 
providing our people with a platform to come together to share, learn and support each other. 11 markets have 
women’s networks and 9 markets have employee networks for other diversity segments. This year, we held various 
initiatives at the Group level and across our local markets to raise employee awareness about diversity, equity, 
inclusion, and belonging. We celebrated international days for women and LGBT+ and marked our first Group Inclusion 
Month focused on generational diversity.
Diverse perspectives are important to effective governance and decision-making. Having diverse perspectives on 
our Board through the range of nationalities and backgrounds reflects our different communities and improves our 
governance and decision-making processes.

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with 
applicable laws and regulations.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company, the Directors are required to:
•	
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
•	
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
•	
state whether the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRS and IFRS 
Accounting Standards; and
•	
prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that 
the Group will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that give a true and fair view of the state of the 
Company’s affairs and explain its transactions.
The Directors are responsible for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and 
detect fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are also responsible for preparing a Report of the Directors and the 
Corporate Governance Report as set out on pages 91 to 124 of this Annual Report.
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
1.	 the consolidated financial statements of the Company, prepared in accordance with HKFRS and IFRS Accounting 
Standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, cash flows and results of the Company 
and its undertakings included in the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole; and
2.	 the section headed “Financial and Operating Review” included in this Annual Report presents a fair review of the 
development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and its undertakings included 
in the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and 
uncertainties that the Group faces.
Under the group-wide supervision (GWS) framework by the Hong Kong Insurance Authority, AIA is expected to have 
in place a corporate governance framework which provides for sound and prudent management and oversight of the 
Group’s businesses including in regard to the protection of the interests of policyholders of the insurers within the 
Group. As such, the Board strives to oversee the implementation of the corporate culture, business objectives and 
strategies for achieving those objectives, in line with the long-term interests and viability of the Group.
The Board is required, amongst other requirements, to ensure there is an appropriate number and mix of individuals

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
CORE PRINCIPLES
The Company is listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is a constituent stock of the Hang 
Seng Index. The Board believes that strong corporate governance is essential both to the delivery of sustainable value 
and to maintaining a culture of business integrity, which in turn supports investor confidence. The Board is ultimately 
responsible for the performance of the Group, including the consistent achievement of business plans, compliance 
with statutory as well as corporate obligations and the long-term sustainability of the Company’s operations.
The Board is also ultimately responsible for the development and implementation of the Group’s corporate governance 
practices. This Corporate Governance Report sets out the corporate governance practices and undertakings of the 
Group underscoring the Board’s belief in the value of such practices and undertakings.
Throughout the year ended 31 December 2025, with the exception of Code Provision C.6.3, the Company applied 
the principles and complied with all applicable code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code. Code Provision 
C.6.3 provides that the company secretary should report to the chairman of the board and/or the chief executive. The 
Company operates under a variant of this model whereby the Group Company Secretary reports to the Group General 
Counsel, who is ultimately accountable for the company secretarial function of the Company and who in turn reports 
directly to the Group Chief Executive and President, being the sole Executive Director on the Board.
CORPORATE CULTURE AND STRATEGY
The Company’s corporate culture is guided by its Operating Philosophy of “Doing the Right Thing, in the Right Way, 
with the Right People… and the Right Results will come”. This philosophy permeates all levels of the Group, from the 
Board and senior management and throughout all operating levels of the organisation. It is embedded in AIA’s Code 
of Conduct, which sets the framework for a culture of professionalism, ethics, respect, diversity and inclusion; all in 
support of helping the Company deliver on its Purpose of helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK 
The Board is supported by a structure that enables appropriate delegation between the Board, its Committees and 
management, whilst ensuring that the Board retains overall control.
To promote effective governance, the Board has approved a governance framework which maps out internal approval 
processes including those matters that may be delegated.
The Company has also implemented a system for group-wide and business unit-level policies, standards and 
guidelines to ensure high governance standard is maintained across the Group and compliance with applicable laws 
and regulations.
In addition, a comprehensive mandatory training programme for the Group’s employees and contingent workers 
covering the key policies of the Company is put in place to facilitate groupwide compliance of relevant laws and 
regulations.

The Board is comprised of members with extensive business, financial, government, regulatory and policy experience 
from a variety of backgrounds. Their skills, knowledge, experience and background have contributed meaningfully 
to the Board’s understanding of the ongoing development of the major markets of the Group, and are relevant and 
valuable to the development of the Group’s corporate strategies, as well as to support its Purpose, values and culture. 
The Company does not have mandatory retirement ages or term limits for its directorship.
The Company’s approach to ensuring diversity is set out in the Board Diversity Policy which includes consideration 
of diversity in the Board’s composition across all measures, including in relation to race, gender, religion and national 
origin, as well as diversity of experience from both the private and public sectors. While the Policy does not enumerate 
specific targets across any specific aspect of diversity, the depth and diversity of experience represented on the Board, 
including experience in all of the Group’s major markets as well as a broad base of public sector and private company 
experience, allows the Board to bring a diversity of perspectives to the governance of the Group and its operations. 
The Board has, through the Nomination Committee, performed a review of the implementation and effectiveness of 
the Board Diversity Policy during the year. That review concluded that the Board benefits from robust diversity and the 
Board Diversity Policy continued to operate effectively in achieving its purpose.
 A summary of the Board Diversity Policy is set out below:
•	
The Company understands that a Board composed of appropriately qualified members with a broad range of 
relevant experience, in addition to diversity in thought and background, is essential to the effective governance of 
its business and ensuring long-term sustainable growth;
•	
The Company remains committed to non-discrimination in all aspects of its business, including the appointment 
of Board members. Consideration and selection of candidates for appointment to the Board will be based on merit 
which shall include a review of the candidate’s integrity, experience, educational background, industry or related 
experience and more general experience;
•	
Within that overriding emphasis on merit, the Nomination Committee shall seek to address Board vacancies by 
actively considering candidates who bring a diversity of background and opinion from amongst those candidates 
with the appropriate background and industry or related expertise and experience. The Nomination Committee’s 
considerations shall include achieving an appropriate level of diversity having regard to factors such as gender, 
age, ethnicity, nationality, cultural and educational background;

•	
The Nomination Committee will (a) in reviewing Board composition, consider the benefits of all aspects of diversity 
including, but not limited to, those described above, in order to maintain an appropriate range and balance of skills, 
experience, knowledge and character on the Board; and (b) as part of the performance evaluation of the Board, 
consider the balance of skills, experience, knowledge and independence of the Board;
•	
As part of the Nomination Committee’s annual review of the structure, size and composition of the Board, the 
Nomination Committee will expressly consider and include commentary to the Board on the Board’s diversity; and
•	
The measurable objectives on board diversity under the Board Diversity Policy include (a) to select candidates for 
nomination as a Director based on the Directors’ Nomination Policy with due regard to the diversity perspectives 
set out in the policy; (b) to maintain the Board with a majority of independent non-executive directors; and (c) 
to ensure that the Board be made up of members with diverse backgrounds and experience, including diversity 
of nationality, ethnicity and gender, with such members demonstrating appropriate knowledge, experience and 
understanding of the markets in which the Company operates its business. All of the measurable objectives have 
been achieved for each new appointment to the Board.
The Group has also put in place a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Standard, which seeks to ensure AIA 
continues to be an employer of choice for employees with diverse backgrounds. The standard helps ensure that the 
Group continues to foster an open, safe and inclusive environment for all employees, free from discrimination and 
harassment of any form. The Group is committed to maintaining a gender-balanced workforce with at least 40 per 
cent female representation overall as well as a target of at least 40 per cent women in its senior leadership positions. 
To continue building the Group’s pipeline of female leaders, the Group has set a target of at least 45 per cent female 
participation in its leadership programmes by the end of 2026. As at 31 December 2025, women represented 57.2 per 
cent of the Group’s employee population and 42.1 per cent of its senior leaders (including senior management) across 
the Group were women. Further details on the progress for workforce diversity in 2025 are disclosed in the Company’s 
Sustainability Report 2025.
APPOINTMENT AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company has put in place a formal and transparent process for the appointment of Directors. When a need 
is identified, the Nomination Committee engages in a robust search process to identify suitably qualified Director 
candidates, including the use of independent executive search firms. Prospective candidates will then be shortlisted 
through a comprehensive evaluation process that includes consideration of a candidate’s ability and willingness to 
devote sufficient time to the duties required. Following meetings with candidates by each member, the Nomination 
Committee will deliberate prior to recommending an appropriate candidate to the Board for approval.
The focus of the Nomination Committee has always been to identify individuals best qualified to serve the interests of 
the Shareholders and policyholders. Within this broader mandate, the Committee also has regard to ensuring that the 
Board is appropriately representative of the communities that the Company serves. To promote greater transparency, 
the Directors’ Nomination Policy was adopted by the Board in 2019 and last revised in 2025. A summary of the Policy is 
set out in the subsection headed “Nomination Committee” under the “Committees of the Board” section of this report.
On 1 October 2025, Sir Mark Tucker was appointed as Independent Non-executive Chairman and an Independent 
Non-executive Director of the Company in place of Mr. Edmund Tse. On 5 February 2026, Ms. Shulamite Khoo and Mr. 
Ku Man were appointed as Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company. All of them will retire from office at 
the forthcoming AGM pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company and, being eligible, offer themselves for 
re-election.
Each of Sir Mark Tucker, Ms. Shulamite Khoo and Mr. Ku Man has obtained the legal advice from an external legal 
advisor as regards the requirements under the Listing Rules that are applicable to them as Directors and the possible 
consequences of making a false declaration or giving false information to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 16 
September 2025, 4 February 2026 and 3 February 2026 respectively, and confirmed that they understood their 
obligations as Directors.
All Directors are subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years pursuant to the Corporate Governance 
Code and are subject to re-election at the general meetings of the Company in accordance with the Articles of 
Association of the Company.

BOARD INDEPENDENCE
The Company recognises that Board independence is critical to ensuring good corporate governance. Thirteen of the 
fourteen Board members are INEDs, which far exceeds the independence requirements under the Listing Rules.
The Board has put in place robust mechanisms to ensure a strong independent element on the Board, which include:
Areas of Governance
Mechanisms
Board and Board  
Committees Structure
•	 The Board maintains a supermajority of INEDs with diversified backgrounds and 
expertise to ensure a wide spectrum of independent views are available.
•	 All of the Board committees are chaired by INEDs and comprise of a majority of INEDs.
Appointment of INEDs
•	 Independent executive search firms are engaged to facilitate the identification of 
potential INED candidates.
•	 In assessing the suitability of the candidates, the Nomination Committee reviews 
the candidates’ profiles, including their qualification and independence from the 
Company, as well as other selection criteria set out in the Directors’ Nomination 
Policy and Board Diversity Policy of the Company.
•	 Each potential candidate is required to confirm in writing to the Company his/her 
independence upon his/her appointment as Director.
Annual review of 
independence of INEDs
•	 The independence of INEDs is assessed annually by reference to the independence 
criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
•	 INEDs’ independence is assessed based on the full range of relevant factors.
Non-executive Directors’ 
remuneration
•	 The INEDs receive fixed fees for their roles as members of the Board and Board 
committees and their remuneration does not involve any equity-based rewards with 
performance-related elements.
Robust communication 
channels
•	 The Board Chairman promotes a culture of openness to facilitate effective contribution 
of independent views and inputs by the INEDs.
•	 The Company has put in place robust processes to facilitate active participation and 
constructive discussions by Board members on matters material to the Company.
Professional advice
•	 To facilitate proper discharge of their duties, Board members are entitled to request 
further information from management and obtain, at the Company’s expense, 
external independent professional advice when necessary.
Board effectiveness review
•	 A Board evaluation is typically conducted using an external consultant once every 
three years, with internal surveys conducted in the intervening years. The review 
typically covers the quality and efficiency of discussions at Board and Board 
committees meetings.
INED’s tenure
•	 Where an INED has served on the Board for over nine years, the Nomination 
Committee will annually consider and satisfy itself that the length of his/her tenure 
has not affected his/her independence having regard to his/her actual contributions, 
continuing impartiality and ability to continue to demonstrate effective oversight of 
the Company’s management.
Conflict of interest
•	 All INEDs are required to declare their past or present financial or other interests 
in the Group’s business, or their connection with any of the Company’s ‘connected 
persons’.
•	 INEDs are subject to ongoing obligations to notify the Board Chairman as soon as 
practicable of any direct conflict of interest which may arise and to seek approval 
before such duties or business can be undertaken.
•	 All Directors are required to consult with and obtain the approval of the Board 
Chairman prior to accepting any other directorships of listed companies.
During the year, the Nomination Committee has conducted a review on behalf of the Board and considered the

The Nomination Committee has also affirmed that for the year ended 31 December 2025, each of the INEDs of the 
Company continued to be independent.

DIRECTORS’ TIME COMMITMENT
All Directors are expected to devote sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company to meaningfully 
contribute to the Board.
The Nomination Committee has conducted an annual assessment of each Director’s time commitment to ensure they 
continue to discharge their duties effectively. It has taken into account, among others, each Director’s attendance 
at Board and Board Committee meetings, the quality of their preparation and participation, the number and nature 
of their external directorships and professional roles and their constructive working relationships with other Board 
members and with the senior management.
The assessment conducted by the Nomination Committee concluded that all Directors demonstrated sufficient 
commitment to their responsibilities, with none of them holding more than four directorships in other listed companies.
In addition, each of the Directors has devoted sufficient time to the Company’s affairs and has discharged his/her 
duties effectively for the year ended 31 December 2025.
BOARD REFRESHMENT AND SUCCESSION
There are regular reviews and discussions on succession planning, complemented by an active search when required 
for people presenting the right skill and diversity mix. The Nomination Committee manages Board succession in light 
of the Board’s overall needs. It considers prospective candidates based on merit and takes a long-term, strategic view 
of Board succession, considering the competencies and experience necessary for effective oversight of the Company 
given its current operations, strategy and ambitions for the future. It also reviews Board composition in light of the 
annual Board assessment results and recommends any changes as appropriate.
The Nomination Committee remains focused on ensuring that the Board is composed of appropriately experienced 
and capable individuals who are representative of the communities in which the Group operates. To the extent that 
needs are identified for additions to the Board, diversity, including in regard to gender, will remain a priority.
The structure, size and composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually by the Nomination Committee. This 
review includes consideration of the existing composition (including skills, experience, background and gender) of 
the Board as well as the Company’s business strategies to ensure that the Board is able to oversee all material matters 
relating to the Group.
BOARD EVALUATION
The Board regularly undertakes a formal evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees and Directors to 
ensure they continue to perform effectively. The evaluation is conducted either by way of internal assessment or with 
the support of independent external consultants.
During 2025, the Company engaged an independent professional consultant to facilitate the performance evaluation 
of the Board. The process for the performance evaluation adopted was a tailored and engaging process and was 
conducted by way of a written questionnaire followed by interviews with each Board member. A comprehensive 
range of topics was considered, including Board structure and composition, Board dynamics and interactions, Board 
committees, and Board processes, with special focus in the areas which could be strengthened to further enhance 
the overall effectiveness of the Board and its committees. The findings and suggestions from the evaluation were 
reviewed, considered and discussed at a Board meeting held in May 2025 to formulate appropriate follow-up actions. 
The findings from the Board evaluation indicated that the Board continues to function effectively, characterized by 
a blend of independence and diversity. Several areas for further consideration were also identified, including Board 
skills and succession, and the structure and composition of Board committees.
Further to the areas identified, in October 2025, led by the new Board Chairman, the Board discussed opportunities 
for follow-up in a review focusing on Board composition and effectiveness. This led to a comprehensive benchmarking 
of the Board Charter and the terms of reference and structure of its Board committees against multi-national peers, 
with revisions to the Board Charter approved at the Board’s December 2025 meeting, and Board committee terms of 
reference and composition scheduled for consideration by the Board in March 2026.

Directors’ Nomination Policy
To ensure ongoing transparency in respect of its deliberations, the Directors’ Nomination Policy was adopted by the 
Board in 2019 and last revised in 2025 upon the recommendation of the Nomination Committee.
A summary of the Directors’ Nomination Policy is set out below:
•	
In assessing the suitability of a candidate proposed for appointment, election or re-election as a Director, the 
Nomination Committee shall consider the candidate on the basis of the selection criteria set out in the Directors’ 
Nomination Policy, which includes, amongst other things, whether his/her skills, knowledge, experience and 
background can complement and enhance those of the existing Board members with due regard to the benefits of 
diversity as set out in the Board Diversity Policy; his/her character, reputation, integrity and standard of competence; 
and the ability to devote sufficient time to discharge his/her duties as a Director. For any candidate proposed for 
nomination as an INED, the satisfaction of the independence requirement under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules is 
also required.
•	
For appointment or election of a new Director, the Nomination Committee shall take the lead in identifying qualified 
candidates. It may consider referrals from existing Directors, and use external advisers to facilitate the search 
based on selection criteria set out in the Directors’ Nomination Policy. Shareholders may also propose a person 
for election as a Director at a general meeting, with the relevant procedures therefor set out on the website of the 
Company. The Nomination Committee shall evaluate the suitability of a candidate through interviews, background 
checks, third-party reference checks, and/or any process as it deems necessary and appropriate.
•

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Group has an internal audit function (Internal Audit). The key features of the Group’s internal control system include 
independent reviews and testing of internal controls, taking a risk-based, top-down and bottom-up approach and 
developing an annual audit plan presented to the Audit Committee. Reports of significant audit findings are prepared 
and communicated to management and the Audit Committee and where control weaknesses or defects are identified, 
recommendations are provided to resolve them. This includes issues formally identified from internal audits, forensic 
investigations, regulatory reports and special projects. Management is responsible for the design, implementation and 
evaluation of the internal control system, including ongoing mitigation, across the business and processes.
The Board, supported by its Risk Committee and the Audit Committee, has reviewed the adequacy and effectiveness of 
the Group’s risk management and internal control systems (covering all material controls such as financial, operational 
and compliance controls) for the year ended 31 December 2025, covering:
•	
the design, implementation and operation of the Group’s risk management, compliance and internal control (RMCC) 
framework;
•	
the processes used to identify, evaluate and manage significant risks and control weaknesses, including the 
escalation, remediation and validation of the exceptions to the RMCC framework;
•	
the adequacy of resources, staff qualifications and experience, training programmes and the budget of the Group’s 
accounting, internal audit, financial reporting functions, as well as those relating to the Group’s ESG performance 
and reporting;
•	
the changes in the nature and extent of significant risks (including ESG risks) during the year and the Group’s 
ability to respond to developments in its business and external environment;
•	
the extent and frequency of communication of monitoring results to the Board and its committees, to enable the 
assessment of the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems;
•	
the effectiveness of the Group’s processes in relation to financial reporting and regulatory compliance;
•	
the scope and quality of management’s ongoing monitoring of risks and internal controls, and the work performed 
by Internal Audit and other assurance providers; and
•	
the results of management’s control self-assessment exercises.
The annual review of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems was conducted by an internal risk 
management, compliance and internal controls framework certification process performed by management (at both 
the Company’s and subsidiaries’ levels) and the Risk and Compliance function, supported by the Internal Audit function 
which confirmed the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control environment.
Management has confirmed to the Board that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems are adequate 
and effective. Based on the review result and management’s confirmation, together with the recommendation provided 
by its Audit Committee and Risk Committee subsequent to their respective review, the Board considered the Group’s 
risk management and internal control systems to be adequate and effective for the year ended 31 December 2025, 
and in particular:
•	
the internal control environment of the Group is considered overall adequate and operating effectively to manage 
risks within its stated appetite and support business objectives;
•	
appropriate remediation plans with governance oversight were noted for the identified control weaknesses at 
certain business units of the Group; and
•	
no significant control failings or systemic weaknesses were identified at the Group level that resulted in unforeseen 
outcomes or contingencies with a material adverse impact on the Group’s financial performance or financial 
position.
The AIA Group Compliance Policy governs the Group’s compliance in areas such as whistleblowing, anti-corruption 
and anti-bribery, anti-fraud, as well as anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.

STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the Report on 
Remuneration for Directors and Key Management Personnel for the year ended  
31 December 2025.
AIA is committed to upholding responsible practices that balance competitive and fair rewards with recognising 
impact and behaviours that drive sustained organisational performance, underpinned by strong governance. The 
Group’s remuneration framework is integral to attracting, motivating and retaining the talent required to execute the 
Group’s strategy.
In 2025, the Remuneration Committee worked closely with its independent advisor to actively monitor regulatory 
developments and leading global remuneration trends. This ensures that AIA’s remuneration approach remains 
aligned with the Group’s strategic objectives, AIA’s risk management framework and corporate governance standards. 
Continuous review of the remuneration framework focused on maintaining a balanced approach reinforcing alignment 
with long-term performance and value creation for all stakeholders. To further strengthen shareholder alignment 
and reflect market best practices, beginning in 2025, any restricted share grants made will be entitled to dividend 
equivalent units, credited during the vesting period. Further details can be found in the “Long-Term Incentive Plan” 
section of the Remuneration Report.
AIA’s efforts to build inclusive and innovative programmes were recognised during the year. In 2025, AIA’s Employee 
Share Purchase Plan received the Global Equity Organization’s award for ‘Best Use of Equity in an Emerging Market’ 
for companies with 25,000 to 100,000 employees. This accolade underscores the Group’s continued dedication to 
offering employees across all markets the opportunity to participate in AIA’s long-term success. The Remuneration 
Committee appreciated the continued enhancements and stronger alignment achieved between employees and the 
Group’s strategic ambitions.
The overall remuneration framework for senior executives and employees remained unchanged in 2025 and will 
continue to apply in 2026. It is designed to encourage behaviours that create impact and deliver sustainable outcomes 
for all stakeholders.

Committee over the course of the year. Thereby supporting a robust dialogue concerning risk-related issues between 
the two Committees. The Group Risk Management function evaluated the 2025 remuneration framework and 
concluded that it does not encourage inappropriate risk-taking behaviours.
Control functions play an active role in monitoring the operational implementation of AIA’s policies and practices 
and ensuring compliance across the Group. If applicable, relevant control functions are consulted in the review of 
remuneration design elements and in the development of remuneration policies and rules, in order to ensure that the 
remuneration framework complies with legal and regulatory requirements across the Group and does not encourage 
excessive risk-taking behaviours.
AIA’s remuneration framework incorporates multiple design and policy safeguards to adhere to prudent risk-taking 
and to discourage excessive risk-taking behaviours.
These safeguards include guidelines on employment and remuneration terms and conditions for the most senior 
positions, supported by a consistent, centrally managed framework for contractual agreements and a robust 
remuneration benchmarking approach conducted by an independent external advisor. Additional safeguards include 
clear incentive funding and vesting framework aligned with Board-approved performance targets; short-term incentive 
awards and long-term incentive vesting levels approved by the Remuneration Committee with target and maximum 
pay opportunities aligned with market practices; malus and clawback mechanisms embedded within the incentive 
framework; and share ownership guidelines for the Group Chief Executive and President.
In addition, a robust Group-wide performance management framework is applied, assessing employees’ and 
executives’ contributions and behaviours against individual goals set at the beginning of the year. This ensures that 
reward outcomes reflect both results achieved and behaviours demonstrated, balancing financial and non-financial 
aspects.
Senior control function employees’ short-term incentive awards are fully aligned to Group Office results to avoid 
potential conflict of interest and to safeguard the independence of such roles.

REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
REMUNERATION POLICY
AIA is committed to responsible remuneration practices to attract, motivate and retain employees at all levels across 
the Group. AIA’s remuneration programmes aim to reward all individuals competitively and fairly, irrespective of 
gender, ethnicity, age, disability or other non-performance-related factors, and are based on balancing the principles 
of impact and contribution with sound risk management.
A robust and consistent benchmarking approach is in place to ensure market competitive pay. In addition, AIA regularly 
conducts comprehensive pay equity analysis in partnership with an independent third-party consultancy to identify 
and address any potential disparities in compensation. This analysis includes evaluating factors, such as job scope, 
experience, grade and performance to review equal pay for equivalent work at AIA.
AIA’s performance and rewards approach supports the achievement of AIA’s business strategy, which includes 
rewarding for the achievement of strategic objectives by taking into consideration the Group’s capital position and 
long-term performance whilst not inducing excessive risk-taking behaviours or violation of applicable laws, guidelines 
or regulations.
Our remuneration policy serves to support the above objectives through appropriate governance, design, 
implementation and monitoring of AIA’s remuneration and risk management framework. This framework applies 
across the Group and is implemented consistently across our business units, subject to local rules and regulations 
as necessary and appropriate for the Group.
TOTAL REMUNERATION AND REMUNERATION ELEMENTS
At AIA, total remuneration is reviewed holistically and is determined by taking into consideration scope and complexity 
of the role, professional experience, market competitiveness, internal relativities, compliance with relevant legal and 
regulatory requirements and other factors.
For Key Management Personnel, the Remuneration Committee reviews total remuneration annually, including base 
salaries, short-term and long-term incentive opportunities, against AIA’s international insurance peer companies and 
wider market benchmarks, and approves remuneration including the individual short-term incentive awards.
The table below summarises the Company’s remuneration elements and their application to the Group Chief Executive 
and President and Key Management Personnel for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Base salary
This is the fixed portion  
provided in cash
Base salary is determined with reference 
to the scope and complexity of the role, 
geographical location and relevant 
professional experience, whilst also 
considering market competitiveness 
and internal relativities.
Base salary is typically reviewed 
annually and increases, when 
applicable, generally take effect  
from 1 March.
The fixed portion of remuneration is 
set appropriately to not induce any 
excessive risk-taking behaviour by 
leveraging the variable component.
Short-term incentives 
These are discretionary 
and delivered in the form of 
performance-based cash to 
incentivise and reward the 
achievement of business 
objectives and individual 
contributions and behaviours
Short-term incentives are discretionary 
and recognise both business and 
individual performance, taking 
into consideration an individual’s 
contributions and behaviours.
Target opportunities are determined 
with reference to the individual’s 
roles and responsibilities and market 
competitiveness of variable and total 
remuneration
Short-term incentive awards are 
determined based on the achievement 
of the Group’s pre-defined financial 
performance targets, together with 
an individual’s contributions and 
behaviours. Accordingly, both financial 
and non-financial performance 
measures are taken into consideration.

performance-vesting RSUs, time-
vesting RSUs and time-vesting 
SOs and they generally vest after 
a three-year vesting period to 
align with the Group’s strategy 
and long-term shareholder 
interests
Long-term incentives are discretionary 
and for senior employees and critical 
talent to align their interests with the 
Group’s long-term strategic vision and 
shareholder interests, and to promote 
risk awareness whilst encouraging 
participants to operate in a sustainable 
manner.
Participation is determined annually, 
and individual long-term incentive 
grants are determined with 
reference to the individual’s roles 
and responsibilities, performance 
and impact of contribution whilst 
considering market competitiveness of 
variable and total remuneration.
Long-term incentives are settled in 
Shares, with performance-vesting RSUs 
subject to pre-defined performance-
vesting conditions.
Dividend equivalent units in the 
form of RSUs will be credited to all 
performance-vesting and time-vesting 
RSUs during the relevant vesting period, 
subject to the same performance and/
or vesting conditions as the underlying 
grants. No further dividend equivalent 
units will be allocated to the dividend 
equivalent units credited.
For the Group Chief Executive and 
President and Key Management 
Personnel, long-term incentive grants 
are made in the form of performance-
vesting RSUs and time-vesting SOs, 
with a significant portion of their 
variable remuneration being deferred.
Benefits and allowances 
These include benefits that 
provide health and wellness 
protection and may be required 
by regulations and/or in line with 
local market practices
Benefits are designed to ensure market 
competitiveness of the overall rewards 
delivery and are administered in full 
compliance with applicable local 
regulations.
The Group Chief Executive and 
President and Key Management 
Personnel participate in retirement 
schemes and receive welfare-related 
benefits, for example, medical and life 
insurance coverage.
Employee share purchase plan 
(ESPP)
This benefit provides employees 
with an investment opportunity 
through matching Share grants 
to facilitate and encourage long-

Except where prohibited by local 
regulations, ESPP is open to all 
employees who have completed 
probation and is subject to a maximum 
contribution indicated as a percentage 
of base salary or the plan’s maximum 
dollar limit.
Participants receive matching Shares 
for the Shares they have purchased, 
subject to an investment limit approved 
by the Remuneration Committee.
Matching Shares vest after three years.

VARIABLE REMUNERATION
Variable remuneration opportunities are designed to motivate employees to deliver on key short-term and long-term 
objectives and are aligned with the interests of the stakeholders of AIA, including those of customers, long-term 
shareholders and employees. Depending on business and individual performance and behaviours demonstrated, 
such incentives may result in above or below target, reflecting performance and behaviours that exceed or below 
expectations, respectively.
AIA’s short-term and long-term incentive plans are described below.
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Short-term incentives are discretionary and are designed to reward participants for achieving annual business 
objectives linked to financial, operational and individual performance over the relevant financial year. Individual 
performance is measured based on the achievements of individual goals and behaviours demonstrated, incorporating 
a balance of financial and non-financial measures. The short-term incentive plan is reviewed regularly to ensure its 
design, process and governance appropriately balance incentive outcomes with risk considerations.
The 2025 short-term incentive plan performance levels, including target and maximum opportunities, were approved 
by the Remuneration Committee and communicated to the Group Chief Executive and President and Key Management 
Personnel at the beginning of the year ended 31 December 2025.
Performance Measures and Weightings
For 2025, the performance measures used in the short-term incentive plan are as follows:
For business units, performance measures and weightings may vary from the illustration above and include an 
allocation for strategic initiatives.
The total value of short-term incentive awards that will be paid to Mr. Lee Yuan Siong (Group Chief Executive and

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Long-term incentives are intended to align senior employees and key talent with the Group’s long-term strategic 
ambitions and stakeholders’ interests through ownership of Shares and the increase in value of the Shares. Long-
term incentives encourage participants to operate in a sustainable manner and are designed to motivate and retain 
employees, promote risk awareness and support long-term wealth creation through increase in the shareholder 
value. The long-term incentive schemes are reviewed regularly to ensure that their design, process and governance 
appropriately balance incentives and risk.
Long-term incentives are reserved for the most senior positions within the Group, whose roles have a significant 
impact on the sustainable financial results and the overall risk profile of the Group. Other individuals may be 
considered for long-term incentives, for example, on the basis of market competitiveness in relation to their skills and 
areas of expertise.
Long-term incentive grants are determined annually with reference to an individual’s role and responsibilities, 
performance and impact of contribution whilst considering market competitiveness of variable and total remuneration. 
The long-term incentive grants are delivered in the form of performance-vesting RSUs, time-vesting RSUs and 
time-vesting SOs. For all grants made in the form of performance-vesting RSUs and time-vesting RSUs in 2025 
and onwards, dividend equivalent units in the form of RSUs will be credited on each dividend payment date of the 
Company during the vesting period. Such dividend equivalent units reflect the value of the dividends declared for the 
Shares underlying the RSU grants during the relevant vesting period and are subject to the same performance and/or 
vesting conditions of the underlying RSU grants. No further dividend equivalent units will be allocated to the dividend 
equivalent units credited.
The grants vest in Shares, generally after a three-year vesting period, subject to the participant remaining in 
employment with the Group at the time of vesting. 
For performance-vesting RSUs, vesting occurs when applicable performance conditions are met and the vesting 
level is subject to the Remuneration Committee’s approval. For time-vesting RSUs and time-vesting SOs, there are no 
performance conditions attached. Performance conditions are not applied to time-vesting RSUs to support retention. 
The value of SOs is linked to the future Share price, which in turn depends on the performance of the Company.
Performance Measures And Weightings
For 2025, the performance measures used in the long-term incentive plan are as follows:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SHARE SCHEMES
The Board has delegated to the Remuneration Committee the duty to administer the Company’s share schemes. None 
of the members of the Remuneration Committee (being Independent Non-executive Directors only) is eligible to 
participate in any of the Company’s share schemes. Any proposed grant to be made to a director or chief executive of 
the Company under a share scheme will be subject to approval by all Independent Non-executive Directors.
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT SCHEMES
The purpose of the 2020 RSU Scheme is to align the participants’ interests with those of the Group through ownership 
of the Shares and the increase in value of the Shares. Under the 2020 RSU Scheme, the Company may grant RSUs to 
employees, directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) or officers of any member of the Group.
The 2010 RSU Scheme, adopted by the Company on 28 September 2010, was terminated with effect from 31 July 
2020, and no further grants may be made under this scheme although outstanding grants will continue to vest based 
on their original terms. The 2020 RSU Scheme, with substantially the same terms as the 2010 RSU Scheme, was 
adopted by the Company on 1 August 2020 (2020 RSU Scheme Adoption Date) and is effective for a period of 10 years 
from the 2020 RSU Scheme Adoption Date and has a remaining life of approximately four years.
During the 10-year period from the 2020 RSU Scheme Adoption Date, the aggregate number of Shares available for 
issue underlying the RSUs granted by the Company under the 2020 RSU Scheme and any other restricted share unit 
scheme of the Company (i.e. the 2010 RSU Scheme) shall not exceed 2.5 per cent of the number of Shares in issue on 
the RSU Scheme Limit Reference Date (i.e. 18 May 2023) as specified under the rules of the 2020 RSU Scheme, being 
290,494,815 Shares.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No consideration shall be payable by the participant on acceptance or vesting of any RSUs granted under the 2020 
RSU Scheme. The maximum number of Shares underlying all grants (i.e. the new Shares issued and to be issued in 
respect of all options and awards granted) to any one participant under the Company’s share schemes (including the 
RSU Scheme) in any 12-month period is 1 per cent (or 0.1 per cent for a substantial shareholder or a director or chief 
executive of the Company) of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the relevant grant.
The vesting period under the long-term incentive plan is three years. In addition, the minimum period between the 
date of the acceptance and the date of the vesting shall not be shorter than 12 months, except in cases where a grant is 
made to (i) new hires to compensate for any forfeited compensation and benefits in respect of prior employment and/
or (ii) persons who fall within certain good leaver criteria. The Remuneration Committee is of the view that allowing 
for a shorter vesting period in each of the above specific circumstances is appropriate and in line with the purposes 
of the 2020 RSU Scheme, as it allows the Company to make buyout grants to new hires so as to attract key talent and 
to adhere to addressing forgone remuneration, as well as to compensate good leavers with accelerated vesting to 
address for specific good leaver’s circumstances.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company granted 18,897,864 RSUs under the 2020 RSU Scheme. The 
2025 performance-vesting RSU grants will be assessed over a three-year period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 
2027 taking into consideration the performance measures described above. During the same period, 522,031 RSUs 
vested under the 2010 RSU Scheme and 6,058,588 RSUs vested under the 2020 RSU Scheme. The Remuneration 
Committee approved the vesting level for the 2022 performance-vesting RSUs at 118 per cent of target, all of which 
were satisfied with purchases of existing Shares on market by the scheme trustee.
Since the 2020 RSU Scheme Adoption Date and up to 31 December 2025, a cumulative total of 27,164,748 RSUs 
vested under the 2010 RSU Scheme and the 2020 RSU Scheme, underlying Shares of which represent 0.23 per cent 
of the number of Shares in issue as at the RSU Scheme Limit Reference Date. During the same period, no new Shares 
were issued upon vesting of the awards under the 2010 RSU Scheme and the 2020 RSU Scheme.
253,127,127 and 247,785,566 RSUs were available for grant pursuant to the scheme mandate as at 1 January 2025 
and 31 December 2025, respectively. A total of 42,709,249 RSUs were outstanding under the 2010 RSU Scheme 
and the 2020 RSU Scheme, representing approximately 0.41 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as of the date

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Notes:
(1)	 The measurement dates (i.e. the dates used to determine the value of the grants for accounting purposes) for grants are the same as the respective date 
of grant. These measurement dates were determined in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.
(2)	 The date of vesting is subject to applicable dealing restrictions.
(3)	 No consideration shall be payable by the participant on acceptance of any RSUs granted. For RSUs granted in 2025 and onwards, dividend equivalent 
units will be credited in the form of share units on each dividend payment date during the vesting period. These dividend equivalent units reflect the 
value of dividends declared for the Shares underlying the relevant RSU grants during the vesting period and are subject to the same performance and/
or vesting conditions as the underlying RSU grants. During the year ended 31 December 2025, dividend equivalent units were credited to the relevant 
RSU grants on 12 June 2025 and 23 September 2025. For details of the dividends declared for the Shares and dividend payment date, please refer to 
www.aia.com.
(4)	 Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 22 November 2019. These RSUs relate to the awarded compensation for unvested long-term 
incentives and deferred payments that Mr. Lee Yuan Siong forfeited on leaving his prior employment. The vesting of these time-vesting RSUs is service-
based only (i.e. there are no further performance conditions attached except for continued employment). The first five tranches of 315,561 RSUs each 
had vested on 13 September 2020, 21 February 2021, 21 February 2022, 21 February 2023 and 21 February 2024 respectively. The last tranche of 
522,031 RSUs had vested on 21 February 2025.
(5)	 The vesting of these performance-vesting RSUs is subject to service requirements and the achievement of performance measures shown on page 135 
of the Company’s Annual Report 2023.
(6)	 The vesting of these performance-vesting RSUs is subject to service requirements and the achievement of performance measures shown on page 132 
of this Annual Report. For the RSUs granted on 20 March 2025, the closing price of the Shares immediately before the date on which RSUs were granted 
was HK$63.4 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined to be HK$53.85. For the RSUs granted on 26 May 2025, the closing price 
of the Shares immediately before the date on which RSUs were granted was HK$64.85 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined 
to be HK$56.37. For the RSUs granted on 4 September 2025 with vesting date on 4 October 2027, the closing price of the Shares immediately before 
the date on which RSUs were granted was HK$72.3 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined to be HK$50.11. For the RSUs 
granted on 4 September 2025 with vesting date on 20 March 2028, the closing price of the Shares immediately before the date on which RSUs were 
granted was HK$72.3 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined to be HK$65.15.
(7)	 The vesting of these time-vesting RSUs is service-based only (i.e. there are no further performance conditions attached except for continued 
employment). For the RSUs granted on 20 March 2025, the closing price of the Shares immediately before the date on which RSUs were granted was 
HK$63.4 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined to be HK$62.42. For the RSUs granted on 26 May 2025, the closing price of 
the Shares immediately before the date on which RSUs were granted was HK$64.85 and the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant was determined 
to be HK$64.58.
(8)	 The vesting of these performance-vesting RSUs is subject to service requirements and the achievement of performance measures shown on page 132 
of this Annual Report. As required by the relevant jurisdiction for deferred variable remuneration, for the RSUs granted on 19 March 2024, the first 
tranche of 80,583 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 19 March 2028, the second tranche of 80,582 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 19 March 2029 and the third 
tranche of 20,400 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 19 March 2030. For the RSUs granted on 20 March 2025, the closing price of the Shares immediately 
before the date on which RSUs were granted was HK$63.4, the first tranche of 88,485 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 20 March 2029 (fair value was 
determined to be HK$53.98), the second tranche of 88,483 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 20 March 2030 (fair value was determined to be HK$54.17) 
and the third tranche of 22,463 RSUs is scheduled to vest on 20 March 2031 (fair value was determined to be HK$54.44).
(9)	 The vesting of these time-vesting RSUs is service-based only (i.e. there are no further performance conditions attached except for continued 
employment). The first tranche of 26,623 had vested on 1 December 2025. Subject to continued employment, the second tranche of 26,623 RSUs are 
scheduled to vest on 1 December 2026.
SHARE OPTION SCHEMES
The purpose of the SO Scheme is to align the participants’ interests with those of the Group through ownership of 
Shares and the increase in value of Shares. Under the 2020 SO Scheme, the Company may grant SOs to employees, 
directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) or officers of any member of the Group.
The 2010 SO Scheme, adopted by the Company on 28 September 2010, was terminated with effect from 29 May 2020, 
and no further grants may be made under this scheme although outstanding grants will continue to vest based on their 
original terms.
The 2020 SO Scheme, with substantially the same terms as the 2010 SO Scheme, was adopted by the Company on 29 
May 2020 (2020 SO Scheme Adoption Date). The 2020 SO Scheme is effective for a period of 10 years from the 2020 
SO Scheme Adoption Date and has a remaining life of approximately four years.
During the 10-year period from the 2020 SO Scheme Adoption Date, the aggregate number of Shares available for 
issue upon exercise of all SOs granted by the Company (excluding SOs that have lapsed) pursuant to the 2020 SO 
Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company (i.e. the 2010 SO Scheme) shall not exceed 2.5 per cent 
of the number of Shares in issue on the 2020 SO Scheme Adoption Date, being 302,264,978 Shares. The maximum 
number of Shares underlying all grants (i.e. the new Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all options and awards 
granted) to any one participant under the share schemes (including the SO Scheme) in any 12-month period is 1 per 
cent (or 0.1 per cent for a substantial shareholder of the Company) of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of 
the relevant grant. No SOs have been granted to substantial shareholders or in excess of the individual limit pursuant 
to the SO Schemes since their adoption.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
REMUNERATION REPORT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
No consideration is payable by the participant on acceptance of any SO granted under the 2020 SO Scheme. Each SO 
entitles the participant to subscribe for one ordinary Share. The exercise price of SOs is the higher of (i) the closing 
price of the Shares on the date of grant and (ii) the average closing price of the Shares for the five business days 
immediately preceding the date of grant.
The vesting period under the long-term incentive plan is three years. In addition, the minimum holding period of an 
SO is 12 months from date of acceptance and an SO shall have a maximum life of 10 years from grant. The SOs are 
generally exercisable three years after the date of grant and remain exercisable for another seven years, except in 
cases where a grant is made to (i) new hires to compensate for any forfeited compensation and benefits in respect 
of prior employment and/or (ii) persons who fall within certain good leaver criteria. The Remuneration Committee is 
of the view that allowing for a shorter vesting period in each of the above specific circumstances is appropriate and 
in line with the purposes of the 2020 SO Scheme, as it allows the Company to make buyout grants to new hires so as 
to attract key talent and to adhere to addressing forgone remuneration, as well as to compensate good leavers with 
accelerated vesting to address for specific good leaver’s circumstances.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company granted 3,108,787 SOs under the 2020 SO Scheme. During 
the same period, 5,084,930 new Shares were issued upon exercise of the SOs granted under the 2010 SO Scheme and 
no new Shares were issued under the 2020 SO Scheme. The Remuneration Committee is of the view that SOs (with no 
performance conditions attached to them) are granted to drive long-term focus and shareholder value creation. The 
value of the SOs is linked to the future Share price, which in turn depends on the performance of the Company.
Since the 2020 SO Scheme Adoption Date and up to 31 December 2025, a cumulative total of 13,724,119 new Shares 
were issued under the 2010 SO Scheme and 2020 SO Scheme, representing approximately 0.11 per cent of the number 
of Shares in issue as at the 2020 SO Scheme Adoption Date.
266,419,855 and 264,260,486 SOs were available for grant pursuant to the scheme mandate as at 1 January 2025 
and 31 December 2025, respectively. A total of 24,280,373 SOs were outstanding under the 2010 SO Scheme and 
the 2020 SO Scheme, representing approximately 0.23 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as of the date of 
this report.

Notes:
(1)	 The measurement date (i.e. the date used to determine the value of the grants for accounting purposes) for grants are the same as the respective date 
of grant. These measurement dates were determined in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.
(2)	 The date of vesting is the first day of the period during which SOs are exercisable and subject to applicable dealing restrictions.
(3)	 The vesting of SOs is service-based only. For the SOs granted on 20 March 2025, the closing price of the Shares immediately before the date on which 
SOs were granted was HK$63.4. The fair value of the SOs at the date of grant was determined to be HK$19.92. For the SOs granted on 4 September 2025, 
the closing price of the Shares immediately before the date on which SOs were granted was HK$72.3. The fair value of the SOs at the date of grant was 
determined to be HK$21.67.
(4)	 The vesting of SOs is service-based only. As required by the relevant jurisdiction for deferred variable remuneration, for the SOs granted on 19 March 
2024, the first tranche of 7,735 SOs will vest on 19 March 2028 and be exercisable from 19 March 2028 to 18 March 2034, the second tranche of 7,735 
SOs will vest on 19 March 2029 and be exercisable from 19 March 2029 to 18 March 2034, the third tranche of 7,969 SOs will vest on 19 March 2030 
and be exercisable from 19 March 2030 to 18 March 2034. For the SOs granted on 20 March 2025, the closing price of the Shares immediately before 
the date on which SOs were granted was HK$63.4, the first tranche of 7,438 SOs will vest on 20 March 2029 and be exercisable from 20 March 2029 to 
19 March 2035 (fair value was determined to be HK$20.41), the second tranche of 7,438 SOs will vest on 20 March 2030 and be exercisable from 
20 March 2030 to 19 March 2035 (fair value was determined to be HK$20.83), the third tranche of 7,662 SOs will vest on 20 March 2031 and be

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
REMUNERATION REPORT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLANS
The 2011 ESPP and the 2020 ESPP (together, ESPPs) are designed to facilitate and encourage long-term AIA share 
ownership by employees to strengthen employees’ sense of belonging and encourage retention. Under the ESPPs, the 
Company may grant restricted stock purchase units (RSPUs) to the participants (being permanent employees of the 
Group) to match their Share purchases.
Following the expiry of the 2011 ESPP, the 2020 ESPP was adopted by the Company on 1 August 2020 (2020 ESPP 
Adoption Date). It is effective for a period of 10 years from the 2020 ESPP Adoption Date and has a remaining life of 
approximately four years.
Under the 2020 ESPP, eligible employees of the Group may elect to purchase Shares and, through the grant of matching 
RSPUs, employees who are still in employment with the Group will receive one matching Share for every two Shares 
purchased that are held until the vesting of the matching RSPUs, which generally takes place three years from the 
day of the first Share purchase in a plan year. Each eligible employee’s participation level is capped at the lower of 10 
per cent of the monthly base salary or HK$12,500 (or local currency equivalent) per calendar month. The matching 
Shares can either be awarded through the issuance of new Shares or the purchases of existing Shares on market by 
the plan trustee.
The vesting period of the RSPUs granted is three years. In the case where a participant fulfils the good leaver criteria or 
if there is a change in control or winding-up of the Company each participant’s matching RSPUs shall vest immediately. 
The Remuneration Committee is of the view that allowing for a shorter vesting period in these specific circumstances 
is appropriate and in line with the purposes of the ESPP as it allows the Company to compensate good leavers with 
accelerated vesting to address for specific good leaver’s circumstances.
During the 10-year period from the 2020 ESPP Adoption Date, the aggregate number of Shares available for issue 
pursuant to the 2020 ESPP and any other employee share purchase plan (i.e. the 2011 ESPP) shall not exceed 2.5 
per cent of the number of Shares in issue on the reference date (i.e. 18 May 2023) as specified under the rules of the 
2020 ESPP, being 290,494,815 Shares. The maximum number of Shares underlying all grants (i.e. the new Shares 
issued and to be issued in respect of all options and awards granted) to any one participant under the Company’s share 
schemes (including the ESPPs) in any 12-month period is 1 per cent (or 0.1 per cent for a substantial shareholder or 
a director or chief executive of the Company) of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of filing the election form 
for participation in the ESPP.
No performance targets or clawback provisions are attached to RSPUs under the ESPPs. The Remuneration Committee 
is of the view that the grants under the ESPPs are time-vesting and intended for eligibility wider than directors and 
senior management and focused on strengthening employees’ sense of belonging and engagement by holding an 
equity stake in the Company.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, 2,136,382 matching RSPUs were granted, 1,565,413 matching RSPUs 
vested and no new Shares were issued under the 2020 ESPP.
Since the 2020 ESPP Adoption Date and up to 31 December 2025, no new Shares were issued upon vesting of the 
RSPUs granted under the 2020 ESPP and the 2011 ESPP.
286,079,360 and 285,924,166 RSPUs were available for grant pursuant to the plan limit as at 1 January 2025 and 
31 December 2025, respectively. A total of 4,570,649 RSPUs were outstanding under the 2020 ESPP, representing 
approximately 0.04 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as of the date of this report.

No consideration is payable by participants on the grant of RSPUs.
(2)	 Monthly Share purchases and the grant of matching RSPUs under the 2020 ESPP are conducted on the 15th of each month (or, if such day is not a 
business day, the next succeeding business day). For the 2022 ESPP plan year, such monthly purchases were conducted from November 2022 to 
October 2023, with a vesting date of 15 November 2025. For the 2023 ESPP plan year, such monthly purchases were conducted from November 2023 
to October 2024, with a vesting date of 15 November 2026. For the 2024 ESPP plan year, such monthly purchases were conducted from November 2024 
to October 2025, with a vesting date of 15 November 2027. For the 2025 ESPP plan year, such monthly purchases were/will be conducted from

AGENCY SHARE PURCHASE PLANS
The 2012 ASPP and the 2021 ASPP (together, ASPPs) are designed to facilitate and encourage long-term AIA share 
ownership by selected agency leaders and agents of the Group. Under the ASPPs, the Company may grant restricted 
stock subscription units (RSSUs) to the participants to match their Share purchases.
Following the expiry of the 2012 ASPP, the 2021 ASPP was adopted by the Company on 1 February 2021 (2021 ASPP 
Adoption Date). It is effective for a period of 10 years from the 2021 ASPP Adoption Date and has a remaining life of 
approximately five years.
During the 10-year period from the 2021 ASPP Adoption Date, the aggregate number of Shares available for issue 
pursuant to the 2021 ASPP and any other agency share purchase plan (i.e. the 2012 ASPP) shall not exceed 2.5 per 
cent of the number of Shares in issue on the reference date (i.e. 18 May 2023) as specified under the rules of the 2021 
ASPP, being 290,494,815 Shares. The maximum number of Shares underlying all grants (i.e. the new Shares issued 
and to be issued in respect of all options and awards granted) to any one participant under the Company’s share 
schemes (including the ASPPs) in any 12-month period is 1 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of 
filing the election form for participation in the ASPP.

REMUNERATION REPORT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Under the 2021 ASPP, the participants may elect to purchase Shares and, through the grant of matching RSSUs, 
receive one matching Share for every two Shares purchased that are held until the vesting of the matching RSSUs, 
which generally takes place three years from the day of the first Share purchase in a plan year. Each eligible agent’s 
participation level is capped at HK$12,500 (or local currency equivalent) per calendar month. 
No performance targets or clawback provisions are attached to RSSUs under the ASPPs. The Remuneration Committee 
is of the view that the grants under the ASPPs are time-vesting and focused on strengthening agents’ sense of 
belonging and engagement by holding an equity stake in the Company.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, 1,583,106 matching RSSUs were granted, 868,334 matching RSSUs vested 
and 868,334 new Shares were issued under the 2021 ASPP. The new Shares were issued at a subscription price of 
US$1.00 each to Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited (being the plan trustee) to hold the same on trust for 
certain eligible agents upon vesting of their matching RSSUs.
Since the 2021 ASPP Adoption Date and up to 31 December 2025, a cumulative total of 5,043,957 matching RSSUs 
vested and 5,043,957 new Shares were issued under either the 2012 ASPP or the 2021 ASPP.
283,343,203 and 281,936,615 RSSUs were available for grant pursuant to the plan limit as at 1 January 2025 and 
31 December 2025, respectively. A total of 3,514,243 RSSUs were outstanding under the 2021 ASPP, representing 
approximately 0.03 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as of the date of this report.

LOOKING AHEAD 
This section outlines the forward priorities for remuneration in the 2026 performance year.
The Remuneration Committee will focus on overseeing a remuneration framework that supports the Company’s 
strategic ambitions and long term value creation, remains aligned with applicable regulatory guidelines and investor 
perspectives, and is embedded within the Group’s risk and governance architecture.
The effectiveness of the framework, including incentive plans, will be reviewed to ensure adaptability to the evolving 
market context, continued ability to attract and motivate critical talent, and consistent application of pay-for-
performance reward. Sustaining competitive positioning in a dynamic talent environment will remain a priority, with 
remuneration outcomes clearly linked to performance delivered.
From a governance perspective, the Remuneration Committee will uphold remuneration structures that remain aligned 
with long-term shareholder value drivers, supported by prudent risk management through close coordination with 
other Board committees, and adherence to leading standards. Variable remuneration will continue to be governed by 
established practices and controls that promote outcomes reflecting sustained performance and risk considerations. 
AIA introduced a Group-wide adherence testing of the Remuneration Policy in 2025 which will be conducted on a 
regular basis to reinforce consistent policy implementation.
The Remuneration Committee will continue to monitor regulatory developments and evolving governance practices to 
safeguard compliance and fairness and ensure well-informed decisions in all remuneration matters.
Going forward, the Remuneration Committee will assume oversight of a broader range of people related matters, 
including leadership development, succession and culture in addition to executive remuneration. To reflect this 
expanded mandate, the Committee has been renamed as the Remuneration and Leadership Committee.

(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
Opinion
What we have audited
The consolidated financial statements of AIA Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries 
(the “Group”), which are set out on pages 152 to 311, comprise:
•	
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025;
•	
the consolidated income statement for the year then ended;
•	
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
•	
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
•	
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
•	
the notes1 to the consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy 
information and other explanatory information.
1	
Certain required disclosures as described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements have been presented 
elsewhere in the Annual Report 2025 (in Section 5 of Supplementary Embedded Value Information), rather than in 
the notes to the consolidated financial statements. These disclosures are cross-referenced and have been audited.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated 
financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2025, and of its consolidated financial 
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with HKFRS 
Accounting Standards as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants 
(“HKICPA”) and IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (“IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies 
Ordinance.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) as 
issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our 
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the “Code”), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest 
entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were 
addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matter identified relate to the valuation of insurance contracts.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of insurance contracts
Refer to the relevant references in the consolidated financial statements:
Note 2.3 to the consolidated financial statements and material accounting policy information: 
Material accounting policy Information – Insurance contracts, investment contracts with 
discretionary participation features (DPF) and reinsurance contracts held, pages 162-177.
Note 3.1 to note 3.3 to the consolidated financial statements and material accounting policy 
information: Critical accounting estimates and judgements, pages 185-186.
Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements and material accounting policy information: 
Insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held, pages 249-268.
As at 31 December 2025, the Group had net 
insurance contract liabilities of US$255,614 
million.
The insurance contracts are measured as the 
total of the fulfilment cash flows (“FCF”) and 
the contractual service margin (“CSM”), the 
determination of which requires judgement 
about uncertain future outcomes. Contracts 
which are accounted for as insurance 
contracts, are dependent on the contract 
features, measured using one of the three 
measurement approaches – the general 
measurement 
model, 
the 
variable 
fee 
approach (“VFA”) or the premium allocation 
approach (“PAA”). The degree of judgement 
involved is generally higher for the general 
measurement model and the VFA compared 
with the PAA.
The application of the general measurement 
model and the VFA includes the use of 
complex methodologies that are applied in 
models, and for insurance contracts with 
significant financial options and guarantees, 
stochastic modelling techniques are applied 
in measuring those contracts’ FCF.
We tested certain controls in place relating to 
methodologies, their application, significant 
assumptions and data used in the valuation of 
insurance contracts. These included controls 
relating to:
•	
Review and determination of methodologies 
used, and their applications in the models. 
This includes changes in methodologies 
applied;
•	
Assumption setting;
•	
The determination of the coverage units 
for new products, and changes to the 
coverage units for existing products; and
•	
Policy data reconciliations from the 
policyholder administration systems to 
the actuarial valuation models.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of insurance contracts (continued)
We particularly focused on material changes 
made to methodologies applied in models in 
determining the FCF under the general 
measurement model and the VFA, as well as 
methodologies applied to material new 
product types (as applicable).
The methodologies applied in models use 
various assumptions, both economic and 
noneconomic in nature. These assumptions, 
which are subject to estimation uncertainty, 
are 
derived 
from 
a 
combination 
of 
management’s 
judgement, 
historic 
experience, market data or other relevant 
information.
The assumptions used that we focused on for 
insurance contracts were those with greater 
levels of management judgement, and for 
which variations have the most significant 
impact on the net insurance contract 
liabilities. For FCF under the general 
measurement model and the VFA, these 
significant assumptions included mortality/
morbidity, persistency, policyholder dividends 
for other participating business without 
distinct portfolios, and economic assumptions.
The CSM represents the unearned profits that 
the Group is expected to recognise as it 
provides services under the insurance 
contracts.
With 
the 
assistance 
of 
our 
actuarial 
professionals, we perform the following 
substantive audit procedures to assess the 
methodologies, their applications, significant 
assumptions, data and disclosures:
•	
We assessed the appropriateness of the 
methodologies used, and their application 
in models. This included testing on a 
sample basis that material changes made 
to methodology are reflected in the 
models in determining the FCF under the 
general measurement model and VFA as 
well as assessing the appropriateness of 
methodologies applied to material new 
product types (as applicable);
•	
We challenged the appropriateness of the 
judgements made in setting significant 
assumptions 
under 
the 
general 
measurement model and VFA. We have 
assessed these significant assumptions 
and obtained relevant corroborating 
evidence. We further considered whether 
the judgements made in setting the 
significant assumptions would give rise to 
indicators of management bias;

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of insurance contracts (continued)
The carrying amount of the CSM includes an 
adjustment for the amount recognised as 
insurance revenue for services provided in 
the period, measured based on the coverage 
units provided in the period.
The coverage units represent the quantity of 
services being provided by the contracts.
In the determination of coverage units used in 
the CSM measurement, we particularly 
focused on the judgement applied in 
determination of coverage units for new 
products launched in the current year which 
have or should have a material impact on the 
valuation of insurance contracts and changes 
to the methodology of determining coverage 
units for existing material products, if any.
•	
On a sample basis, we challenged the 
appropriateness of the judgement applied 
in determination of coverage units for 
new products launched in the current 
year which have or should have a material 
impact on the valuation of insurance 
contracts 
and 
challenged 
the 
appropriateness of judgement applied in 
determining changes in the methodology 
of determining coverage units for existing 
material products, if any;
•	
We tested on sample basis data used in 
the valuation of insurance contracts; and
•	
We assessed the adequacy of the relevant 
disclosures in the context of the applicable 
financial reporting framework.
Based upon the work outlined above, we 
found the methodologies applied, significant 
assumptions and data used in the valuation of 
insurance contracts to be acceptable based 
on available evidence.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read 
the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially 
inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, 
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of 
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other Matter
The Group has prepared Supplementary Embedded Value Information as at and for the year 
ended 31 December 2025 in accordance with the embedded value basis of preparation set out in 
Sections 4 and 5 of the Supplementary Embedded Value Information, on which we issued a 
separate auditor’s report to the Board of Directors of the Company dated 19 March 2026.
Responsibilities of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated 
Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards as 
issued by the HKICPA and IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and the Hong Kong 
Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to 
enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing 
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to 
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend 
to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting 
process.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, 
in accordance with Section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. 
We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents 
of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or 
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users 
taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•	
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, 
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one 
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
•	
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
•	
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
•	
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
•	
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial 
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements 
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
•	
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding 
the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for 
forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the 
direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. 
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the 
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant 
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with 
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all 
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those 
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the 
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely 
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the 
public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Lars 
Christian Jordy Nielsen (practising certificate number: P05502).

IFRS® Accounting Standards and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. IFRS Accounting Standards are substantially 
consistent with HKFRS Accounting Standards and the accounting policy selections that the Group has made in preparing 
these consolidated financial statements are such that the Group is able to comply with both HKFRS Accounting Standards 
and IFRS Accounting Standards. References to IFRS Accounting Standards, IAS® Standards and IFRIC® Interpretations in 
these consolidated financial statements should be read as referring to the equivalent HKFRS Accounting Standards, Hong 
Kong Accounting Standards (HKAS) and Hong Kong (IFRIC) Interpretations (HK(IFRIC) – Int) as the case may be. 
Accordingly, there are not any differences of accounting practice between HKFRS Accounting Standards and IFRS 
Accounting Standards affecting these consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2026.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, as modified by the 
revaluation of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets and liabilities 
measured at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments, property held for own use and investment 
properties, all of which are carried at fair value. Additionally, insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities are 
measured using a fulfilment cash flow and contractual service margin (CSM) basis.
The presentation currency of the Company and the Group is the US dollar. The consolidated financial statements are 
presented in millions of US dollar (US$m) unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except as described in note 2.5.4 
and as follows.
(a)	The following relevant new amendments to standard have been adopted for the first time for the financial year ended 
31 December 2025 and have no material impact to the Group:
•	
Amendments to IAS 21, Lack of Exchangeability.

2.1 Basis of preparation and statement of compliance (continued)
(b)	The following relevant new standard and amendments to standards have been issued but are not effective for the 
financial year ended 31 December 2025 and have not been early adopted (the financial years for which the adoption 
is required for the Group are stated in parentheses):
•	
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (2027) introduces new presentation requirements in 
the income statement, including among others, the classification of income and expense items by categories, 
specific totals and subtotals. It also sets out new requirements on management-defined performance measures, as 
well as aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. The standard is expected to change the presentation 
and disclosures of the Group’s consolidated financial statements but is not expected to impact the financial position 
or net results of the Group; and
•	
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments 
(2026) provide guidance on a number of areas such as the derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an 
electronic payment system, classification of financial assets with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and 
similar features, contractually linked instruments and certain new disclosure requirements. The Group has assessed 
the impacts on the Group’s consolidated financial statements and considers that there is no material impact to the 
Group.
In addition, the Group has assessed the impact of the below amendments on its financial position and results of 
operations and they are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the 
Group:
•	
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 (2026).
The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements are set out 
below. These policies have been applied consistently in all periods presented. The Company’s statement of financial 
position and the statement of changes in equity, as set out in notes 42 and 43 respectively, have been prepared in 
accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
2.2 Operating profit
The long-term nature of much of the Group’s operations means that, for management’s decision-making and internal 
performance management purposes, the Group evaluates its results and its operating segments using a financial 
performance measure referred to as “operating profit”. Operating profit includes among others the expected long-term 
investment returns for investments in equities and real estate. The assumptions used to determine expected long-term 
investment return are the same, in all material respects, as those used by the Group in determining its embedded value 
and are disclosed in Supplementary Embedded Value Information. The Group defines operating profit after tax as net 
profit excluding the following non-operating items:
•	
Short-term investment and discount rate variances
–	 Variances between expected and actual investment returns across relevant asset classes and the corresponding 
impact on the measurement of relevant insurance contract liabilities;
–	 Variances between expected and actual discount rates impacting the measurement of fulfilment cash flows of 
relevant insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities;
–	 Other investment returns; and
•	
Other significant items that management considers to be non-operating income and expenses.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
2.2 Operating profit (continued)
The Group considers that the presentation of operating profit enhances the understanding and comparability of its 
performance and that of its operating segments. The Group considers that trends can be more clearly identified without 
the fluctuating effects of these non-operating items, many of which are largely dependent on market factors.
The Group’s operating profit, which is different from operating profit as defined under IFRS 18, is provided as additional 
information to assist in the comparison of business trends in different reporting periods on a consistent basis and enhance 
overall understanding of financial performance.
2.3 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with discretionary participation features (DPF) and reinsurance 
contracts held
Consistent accounting policies for the measurement and recognition of insurance, reinsurance and investment contracts 
have been adopted throughout the Group. The Group has elected an accounting policy where the estimates made in 
previous interim financial statements are not changed when applying IFRS 17 in subsequent interim periods or in the 
annual reporting period.
2.3.1 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with DPF and reinsurance contracts held classification
The Group classifies its contracts written as either insurance contracts or investment contracts, depending on the level of 
insurance risk. Contracts under which the Group transfers significant insurance risk are classified as insurance contracts, 
while those contracts which have the legal form of insurance contracts but do not transfer significant insurance risk are 
classified as financial liabilities and are referred to as investment contracts. Some insurance and investment contracts, 
referred to as traditional participating life business, have DPF, which may entitle the customer to receive, as a supplement 
to guaranteed benefits, additional non-guaranteed benefits, such as policyholder dividends or bonuses. The Group applies 
the same accounting policies for the recognition and measurement of obligations arising from investment contracts with 
DPF as it does for insurance contracts.
In the event that a scenario (other than those lacking commercial substance) exists in which an insured event would 
require the Group to pay significant additional benefits to its customers and has a possibility of incurring a loss on a 
present value basis, the contract is considered as transferring significant insurance risk and is accounted for as an 
insurance contract. Contracts held by the Group under which it transfers significant insurance risk related to underlying 
insurance contracts are classified as reinsurance contracts held. Insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held can 
also expose the Group to financial risk. For investment contracts that do not contain DPF, IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, 
and, if the contract includes an investment management element, IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are 
applied. Once a contract has been classified as an insurance, reinsurance or investment contract, reclassification is not 
subsequently performed unless the terms of the agreement are later amended.

2.3 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with discretionary participation features (DPF) and reinsurance 
contracts held (continued)
2.3.1 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with DPF and reinsurance contracts held classification (continued)
Certain contracts with DPF supplement the amount of guaranteed benefits due to policyholders. These contracts are 
distinct from other insurance and investment contracts as the Group has discretion in the amount and/or timing of the 
benefits declared, and how such benefits are allocated between groups of policyholders. Policyholders may be entitled to 
receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits or bonuses:
•	
that are expected to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits;
•	
the timing or amount of which are contractually at the discretion of the Group; and
•	
that are contractually based on:
–	 the returns on a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract;
–	 realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the Group; or
–	 the profit or loss of the Group, fund or other entity that issues the contract.
In some jurisdictions traditional participating life business is written in a participating fund which is distinct from the other 
assets of the company or branch. The allocation of benefits from the assets held in such participating funds is subject to 
minimum policyholder participation mechanisms which are established by regulation. Other participating business with 
distinct portfolios refers to business where it is expected that the policyholder will receive, at the discretion of the insurer, 
additional benefits based on the performance of underlying segregated assets where this asset segregation is supported 
by an explicit statutory reserve and reporting in the relevant territory. The allocation of benefit from the assets held in such 
other participating business with distinct portfolios is set according to the underlying bonus rule as determined by the 
relevant Board based on applicable regulatory requirements after considering the Appointed Actuary’s recommendation. 
The extent of such policyholder participation may change over time. The current policyholder participation ratio applied 
for recognition and measurement of the insurance contract liabilities for locations with participating funds and other 
participating business with distinct portfolios is set out below.

2.3 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with discretionary participation features (DPF) and reinsurance 
contracts held (continued)
2.3.1 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with DPF and reinsurance contracts held classification (continued)
Contracts with direct participation features are contracts for which, at inception:
•	
the contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying 
items;
•	
the Group expects to pay to the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the 
underlying items; and
•	
the Group expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts to be paid to the policyholder to vary with the 
change in fair value of underlying items.
The Group’s products may be divided into the following main categories:
Basis of accounting for:
Policy type
Description of benefits payable
Insurance contracts
Investment contracts
Traditional 
participating 
life
Participating 
funds and other 
participating 
business with 
distinct 
portfolios
Participating products include protection 
and savings elements. The basic sum 
assured, payable on death or maturity, 
may be enhanced by dividends or 
bonuses, the aggregate amount of which 
is determined by the performance of a 
distinct fund of assets and liabilities. The 
timing of dividend and bonus declarations 
is at the discretion of the insurer
For participating funds, local regulations 
generally prescribe a minimum proportion 
of policyholder participation in declared 
dividends
For other participating business with 
distinct portfolios, the allocation of benefit 
from the assets held in such distinct 
portfolios is set according to the 
underlying bonus rule as determined by 
the relevant Board based on applicable 
regulatory requirements after considering 
the Appointed Actuary’s recommendation. 
The extent of such policyholder 
participation may change over time
Participating products where there is a distinct 
portfolio meet the definition of an insurance 
contract with direct participation features and is 
measured under an approach commonly referred 
to as the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) 
measurement model. The VFA modifies the 
general measurement model in IFRS 17 to reflect 
the nature of the income to the insurer is a 
variable fee
Investment contracts with DPF 
are accounted for in the same 
way as insurance contracts 
under IFRS 17
Other 
participating 
business 
without distinct 
portfolios
Participating products include protection 
and savings elements. The basic sum 
assured, payable on death or maturity, may 
be enhanced by dividends or bonuses, the 
timing or amount of which are at the 
discretion of the insurer taking into account 
factors such as investment experience
The general measurement model is applied to 
these insurance contracts
Investment contracts with DPF 
are accounted for in the same 
way as insurance contracts 
under IFRS 17
Non-participating life, annuities 
and other protection products
Benefits payable are not at the 
discretion of the insurer
The general measurement model is applied to 
these insurance contracts except for some 
insurance contracts where the permitted premium 
allocation approach (PAA) simplification (see note 
2.3.7) is applied
Investment contract liabilities 
are measured at amortised 
cost
Universal life
Benefits are based on an account 
balance, credited with interest at a rate 
set by the insurer, and a death benefit, 
which may be varied by the customer
The general measurement model is applied to 
these insurance contracts
Not applicable as such 
contracts generally contain 
significant insurance risk
Unit-linked
These may be primarily savings products 
or may combine savings with an element 
of protection
Unit-linked products that meet the definition of an 
insurance contract with direct participation 
features are measured under the VFA 
measurement model, otherwise they follow the 
IFRS 17 general measurement model
Investment contract liabilities 
under IFRS 9 are measured at 
fair value (determined with 
reference to the accumulation 
value)

2.3 Insurance contracts, investment contracts with discretionary participation features (DPF) and reinsurance 
contracts held (continued)
2.3.2 Separating components from insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held
At inception, the Group separates the following components from an insurance contract or a reinsurance contract held and 
accounts for them as if they were stand-alone financial instruments:
•	
derivatives embedded in the contract whose economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the 
host contract, and whose terms would not meet the definition of an insurance contract or a reinsurance contract held 
as a stand-alone instrument; and
•	
distinct investment components – i.e. investment components that are not highly inter-related with the insurance 
components and for which contracts with equivalent terms are sold, or could be sold, separately in the same market or 
the same jurisdiction.
After separating any financial instrument components, the Group separates any promises to transfer distinct goods or 
services other than insurance coverage and investment services and accounts for them as separate contracts with 
customers (i.e. not as insurance contracts). A good or service is distinct if the policyholder can benefit from it either on its 
own or with other resources that are readily available to the policyholder. A good or service is not distinct and is accounted 
for together with the insurance component if the cash flows and risks associated with the good or service are highly 
inter-related with the cash flows and risks associated with the insurance component, and the Group provides a significant 
service of integrating the good or service with the insurance component.
2.3.3 Level of aggregation and recognition of group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held
Insurance contracts
Insurance contracts are aggregated into groups for measurement purposes. Groups of contracts are determined by 
identifying portfolios of insurance contracts, each comprising contracts subject to similar risks and managed together, 
and dividing each portfolio into semi-annual cohorts and each semi-annual cohort into three groups based on the 
profitability of contracts:
•	
any contracts that are onerous on initial recognition;
•	
any contracts that, on initial recognition, have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently; and
•	
any remaining contracts in the portfolio.
An insurance contract issued by the Group is recognised from the earliest of:
•	
the beginning of its coverage period (i.e. the period during which the Group provides services in respect of any 
premiums within the boundary of the contract);
•	
when the first payment from the policyholder becomes due or, if there is no contractual due date, when it is received 
from the policyholder; and
•	
when facts and circumstances indicate that the contract is onerous.
An insurance contract acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination is recognised on the date of acquisition.
When the contract is recognised, it is added to an existing group of contracts or, if the contract does not qualify for 
inclusion in an existing group, it forms a new group to which future contracts are added. Groups of contracts are established 
on initial recognition and their composition is not revised once all contracts have been added to the group.

2.3.3 Level of aggregation and recognition of group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held (continued)
Reinsurance contracts held
Reinsurance contracts held by the Group cover underlying insurance contracts.
A group of reinsurance contracts held is recognised on the following dates:
•	
Reinsurance contracts held that provide proportionate coverage: Generally later of the beginning of the coverage 
period of the group of reinsurance contracts held, or the date on which any underlying insurance contract is initially 
recognised.
•	
Other reinsurance contracts held: The beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held. 
However, if the Group recognises an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts on an earlier date and the related 
reinsurance contract held was entered into on or before that earlier date, then the group of reinsurance contracts held 
is recognised on that earlier date.
•	
Reinsurance contracts acquired: The date of acquisition.
2.3.4 Fulfilment cash flows and contract boundaries
Fulfilment cash flows
Fulfilment cash flows comprise:
•	
estimates of future cash flows;
•	
an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to future cash flows, to the extent that 
the financial risks are not included in the estimates of future cash flows; and
•	
a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.
Further details of the related methodology and assumptions in respect of estimation of fulfilment cash flows are provided 
in note 24.
Contract boundaries
The measurement of a group of contracts includes all of the future cash flows within the boundary of each contract in the 
group, determined as follows.
Insurance contracts
Cash flows are within the boundary of a contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the 
reporting period under which the Group can compel the policyholder to pay premiums or has a substantive obligation to 
provide insurance contract services.
A substantive obligation to provide insurance contract services ends when:
•	
the Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and can set a price or level of 
benefits that fully reflects those reassessed risks; or
•	
the Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the portfolio that contains the contract and can set a price or 
level of benefits that fully reflects the risks of that portfolio; and the pricing of the premiums for coverage up to the 
reassessment date does not take into account risks that relate to periods after the reassessment date.

2.3.4 Fulfilment cash flows and contract boundaries (continued)
Contract boundaries (continued)
Reinsurance contracts held
Cash flows are within the contract boundary if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the 
reporting period in which the Group is compelled to pay amounts to the reinsurer or has a substantive right to receive 
services from the reinsurer.
A substantive right to receive services from the reinsurer ends when the reinsurer:
•	
has the practical ability to reassess the risks transferred to it and can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects 
those reassessed risks; or
•	
has a substantive right to terminate the coverage.
The contract boundary is reassessed at each reporting date to include the effect of changes in circumstances on the 
Group’s substantive rights and obligations and, therefore, may change over time.
2.3.5 Insurance acquisition cash flows
Insurance acquisition cash flows are allocated to groups of contracts using a systematic and rational allocation method 
and considering, in an unbiased way, all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or 
effort. At each reporting date, the Group revises the amounts allocated to groups to reflect any changes in assumptions 
that determine the inputs to the allocation method used. Amounts allocated to a group are not revised once all contracts 
have been added to the group.
Insurance acquisition cash flows arising before the recognition of the related groups of contracts are recognised as an 
asset. Such an asset is recognised for each group of contracts to which the insurance acquisition cash flows are allocated. 
The asset is derecognised, fully or partially, when the insurance acquisition cash flows are included in the measurement 
of the related groups of contracts.
When the Group acquires insurance contracts in a transfer of contracts or a business combination, at the date of acquisition 
it recognises an asset for insurance acquisition cash flows at the fair value for the rights to obtain:
•	
renewals of contracts recognised at the date of acquisition; and
•	
other future contracts after the date of acquisition without paying again insurance acquisition cash flows that the 
acquiree has already paid.
Recoverability assessment
At each reporting date, if facts and circumstances indicate that an asset for insurance acquisition cash flows may be 
impaired, then the Group:
•	
recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the expected 
net cash inflow of the related group; and
•	
if the asset relates to future renewals, recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that it expects those 
insurance acquisition cash flows to exceed the net cash inflow for the expected renewals and this excess has not 
already been recognised as an impairment loss.
The Group recognises any reversal of impairment losses in profit or loss when the impairment conditions no longer exist 
or have improved.

2.3.6 Measurement – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA
2.3.6.1 Initial measurement
On initial recognition, the Group measures a group of contracts as the total of: (a) the fulfilment cash flows, which comprise 
estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect time value of money and associated financial risks, and a risk 
adjustment for non-financial risk; and (b) the contractual service margin (CSM).
The measurement of the fulfilment cash flows of a group of contracts does not reflect the Group’s non-performance risk.
The risk adjustment for non-financial risk for a group of contracts, determined separately from the other estimates, is the 
compensation required for bearing uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial 
risk.
The CSM of a group of contracts represents the unearned profit that the Group will recognise as it provides services under 
those contracts. On initial recognition of a group of contracts, if the total of the fulfilment cash flows, any cash flows arising 
at that date and any amount arising from the derecognition of any assets or liabilities previously recognised for cash flows 
related to the group (including assets for insurance acquisition cash flows) is a net inflow, then the group is not onerous. 
In this case, the CSM is measured as the equal and opposite amount of the net inflow, which results in no income or 
expenses arising on initial recognition.
If the total is a net outflow, then the group is onerous. In this case, the net outflow is recognised as a loss in profit or loss. 
A loss component is created to depict the amount of the net cash outflows, which determines the amounts that are 
subsequently presented in profit or loss as reversals of losses on onerous groups and are excluded from insurance revenue. 
In the case of a business combination, the net outflow is recognised as an adjustment to goodwill or a gain on a bargain 
purchase for contracts acquired.
For groups of contracts acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination, the consideration received for the 
contracts is included in the fulfilment cash flows as a proxy for the premiums received at the date of acquisition. In a 
business combination, the consideration received is the fair value of the contracts at that date.
2.3.6.2 Subsequent measurement
The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting date is the sum of the liability for remaining 
coverage (LRC) and the liability for incurred claims (LIC). The LRC comprises (a) the fulfilment cash flows that relate to 
services that will be provided under the contracts in future periods and (b) any remaining CSM at that date. The LIC 
includes the fulfilment cash flows for incurred claims and expenses that have not yet been paid, including claims that have 
been incurred but not yet reported.
The fulfilment cash flows of groups of contracts are measured at the reporting date using current estimates of future cash 
flows, current discount rates and current estimates of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Changes in fulfilment 
cash flows are recognised as follows.
•	
changes relating to future services are adjusted against the CSM (or recognised in the insurance service result in profit 
or loss if the group is onerous);
•	
changes relating to current or past services are recognised in the insurance service result in profit or loss; and
•	
effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein on estimated future cash flows are recognised as 
insurance finance income or expenses for insurance contracts without direct participation features or adjusted against 
CSM for insurance contracts with direct participation features.

2.3.6 Measurement – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA (continued)
2.3.6.2 Subsequent measurement (continued)
The CSM of each group of contracts is calculated at each reporting date as follows.
Insurance contracts without direct participation features
The carrying amount of the CSM at each reporting date is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted 
mainly for:
•	
the CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period;
•	
interest accreted on the carrying amount of the CSM during the period, measured at the discount rates determined on 
initial recognition that are applied to nominal cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on underlying items;
•	
changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, except to the extent that:
–	 any increases in the fulfilment cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the CSM, in which case the excess is 
recognised in insurance service expenses and recognised as a loss component in LRC; or
–	 any decreases in the fulfilment cash flows adjust the loss component in the LRC and the corresponding amount is 
recognised in insurance service expenses. If the loss component is reduced to zero, the excess reinstates the CSM;
•	
the effect of any currency exchange differences on the CSM; and
•	
the amount recognised as insurance revenue for services provided in the period.
Changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services mainly comprise:
•	
experience adjustments arising from premiums received in the period that relate to future services and related cash 
flows, measured at the discount rates determined on initial recognition;
•	
changes in estimates of the present value of future cash flows in the LRC, measured at the discount rates determined 
on initial recognition, except for those that relate to the effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes 
therein;
•	
differences between (a) any investment component expected to become payable in the period, determined as the 
payment expected at the start of the period plus any insurance finance income or expenses related to that expected 
payment before it becomes payable; and (b) the actual amount that becomes payable in the period;
•	
differences between (a) any loan to a policyholder expected to become repayable in the period, determined as the 
repayment expected at the start of the period plus any insurance finance income or expenses related to that expected 
repayment before it becomes repayable; and (b) the actual amount that becomes repayable in the period; and
•	
changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk that relate to future services.
To determine how to identify a change in discretionary cash flows, the basis is generally determined at inception of the 
contract. Changes in cash flows arising from the Group’s discretion are regarded as relating to future services and 
accordingly adjust the CSM, these cash flows are determined based on the relevant contract terms, dividend and bonus 
philosophy.

2.3.6 Measurement – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA (continued)
2.3.6.2 Subsequent measurement (continued)
Insurance contracts with direct participation features
Contracts with direct participation features are contracts under which the Group’s obligation to the policyholder is the net 
of:
•	
the obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items; and
•	
a variable fee in exchange for future services provided by the contracts, being the amount of the Group’s share of the 
fair value of the underlying items less fulfilment cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on underlying items. 
The Group provides investment services under these contracts by promising an investment return based on underlying 
items, in addition to insurance coverage.
When measuring a group of contracts with direct participation features, the Group adjusts the fulfilment cash flows for the 
changes in the obligation to pay policyholders an amount equal to the policyholder’s share of the fair value of the underlying 
items. These changes do not relate to future services and are recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the CSM at each reporting date is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted 
mainly for:
•	
the CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period;
•	
the change in the amount of the Group’s share of the fair value of the underlying items and changes in fulfilment cash 
flows that relate to future services, except to the extent that:
–	 a decrease in the amount of the Group’s share of the fair value of the underlying items, or an increase in the 
fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, exceeds the carrying amount of the CSM. The excess is recognised 
in insurance service expenses and recognised as a loss component in LRC; or
–	 an increase in the amount of the Group’s share of the fair value of the underlying items, or a decrease in the 
fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, which adjust the loss component in the LRC and the corresponding 
amount is recognised in insurance service expenses. If the loss component is reduced to zero, the excess reinstates 
the CSM;

Changes in fulfilment cash flows not varying based on the return on underlying items that relate to future services include 
the changes relating to future services specified above for contracts without direct participation features (measured at 
current discount rates) and changes in the effect of the time value of money and financial risks that do not arise from 
underlying items – e.g. the effect of financial guarantees.

contracts held (continued)
2.3.7 Measurement – insurance contracts measured under the PAA
The Group generally uses the PAA to simplify the measurement of groups of contracts in the following circumstances:
•	
where the coverage period of each contract in the group of contracts is one year or less; or
•	
the Group reasonably expects that the resulting measurement of the LRC would not differ materially from the result of 
applying the accounting policies of contracts not measured under the PAA.
2.3.7.1 Initial measurement
On initial recognition of each group of contracts, the carrying amount of the LRC is measured as the premiums received on 
initial recognition minus any insurance acquisition cash flows allocated to the group at that date, and adjusted for amounts 
arising from the derecognition of any assets or liabilities previously recognised for cash flows related to the group. The 
Group has elected the accounting policy choice to defer insurance acquisition cash flows through the LRC.
2.3.7.2 Subsequent measurement
Subsequently, the carrying amount of the LRC is increased by (i) any premiums received; and (ii) any amortisation of the 
insurance acquisition cash flows, and decreased by (i) insurance acquisition cash flows paid; (ii) the amount recognised 
as insurance revenue for coverage provided; and (iii) any investment component paid or transferred to the LIC. On initial 
recognition of each group of contracts, the Group expects that the time gap between providing each part of the coverage 
and the related premium due date is not significant. Accordingly, the Group has chosen not to adjust the LRC to reflect the 
time value of money and the effect of financial risk.
If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous, then the 
Group recognises a loss in profit or loss and increases the LRC to the extent that the current estimates of the fulfilment 
cash flows that relate to remaining coverage (including the risk adjustment for non-financial risk) exceed the carrying 
amount of the LRC as loss component. The fulfilment cash flows are adjusted for the time value of money and the effect 
of financial risk (using current estimates) if the LIC is also adjusted for the time value of money and the effect of financial 
risk. In subsequent periods, unless facts and circumstances indicate that the group of contracts is no longer onerous, the 
loss component is remeasured at each reporting date as the difference between the current estimates of the fulfilment 
cash flows that relate to remaining coverage (including the risk adjustment for non-financial risk) and the carrying amount 
of the LRC without loss component.
The Group recognises the LIC of a group of insurance contracts for the amount of the fulfilment cash flows relating to 
incurred claims. The fulfilment cash flows are discounted (at current rates) unless the cash flows are expected to be paid 
in one year or less from the date the claims are incurred.

2.3.8 Reinsurance contracts held
For groups of reinsurance contracts held, the Group applies the same accounting policies as that applied to insurance 
contracts without direct participation features, with the following modifications.
The carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contracts held at each reporting date is the sum of the asset for remaining 
coverage and the asset for incurred claims. The asset for remaining coverage comprises (a) the fulfilment cash flows that 
relate to services that will be received under the contracts in future periods and (b) any remaining CSM at that date.
The Group measures the estimates of the present value of future cash flows using assumptions that are consistent with 
those used to measure the estimates of the present value of future cash flows for the underlying insurance contracts, with 
an adjustment for any risk of non-performance by the reinsurer. The effect of the non-performance risk of the reinsurer is 
assessed at each reporting date and the effect of changes in the non-performance risk is recognised in profit or loss.
The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the amount of risk being transferred by the Group to the reinsurer.
On initial recognition, the CSM of a group of reinsurance contracts held represents a net cost or net gain on purchasing 
reinsurance. It is measured as the equal and opposite amount of the total of (a) the fulfilment cash flows, (b) the amount 
arising from assets or liabilities previously recognised for cash flows related to the group, before the group is recognised, 
(c) cash flows arising from the contracts in the group at that date and (d) any income recognised in profit or loss because 
of onerous underlying contracts recognised at that date. However, if any net cost on purchasing reinsurance coverage 
relates to insured events that occurred before the purchase of the reinsurance, then the Group recognises the cost 
immediately in profit or loss as an expense.
The carrying amount of the CSM at each reporting date is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted 
for:
•	
the CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period;
•	
interest accreted on the carrying amount of the CSM during the period, measured at the discount rates determined on 
initial recognition that are applied to nominal cash flows;
•	
income recognised in profit or loss in respect of a loss recognised for onerous underlying contracts. A loss-recovery 
component is established or adjusted in the asset for remaining coverage of reinsurance contracts held for the amount 
of income recognised;
•	
reversals of a loss-recovery component to the extent that they are not changes in the fulfilment cash flows of the 
group;
•	
changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, measured at the discount rates determined on initial 
recognition, unless the changes result from changes in fulfilment cash flows of onerous underlying contracts, in which 
case they are recognised in profit or loss and create or adjust a loss-recovery component;
•	
the effect of any currency exchange differences on the CSM; and
•	
the amount recognised in profit or loss for the services received in the period.

2.3.8 Reinsurance contracts held (continued)
Reinsurance of onerous underlying insurance contracts
The Group adjusts the CSM of the group to which a reinsurance contract held belongs and as a result recognises income 
when it recognises a loss on initial recognition of onerous underlying contracts, if the reinsurance contract held is entered 
into before or at the same time as the onerous underlying contracts are recognised. The adjustment to the CSM is 
determined by multiplying:
•	
the amount of the loss that relates to the underlying contracts; and
•	
the percentage of claims on the underlying contracts that the Group expects to recover from the reinsurance contracts 
held.
For reinsurance contracts acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination covering onerous underlying 
contracts, the adjustment to the CSM is determined by multiplying:
•	
the amount of the loss that relates to the underlying contracts at the date of acquisition; and
•	
the percentage of claims on the underlying contracts that the Group expects at the date of acquisition to recover from 
the reinsurance contracts held.
For reinsurance contracts held which were acquired in a business combination, the adjustment to the CSM reduces 
goodwill or increases a gain on a bargain purchase.
If the reinsurance contract held covers only some of the insurance contracts included in an onerous group of contracts, 
then the Group uses a systematic and rational method to determine a portion of losses recognised on the onerous group 
of contracts containing the insurance contracts covered by the reinsurance contract held.
A loss-recovery component is established or adjusted in the asset for remaining coverage of reinsurance contracts held, 
which determines the amounts that are subsequently presented in profit or loss as reversals of recoveries of losses from 
the reinsurance contracts held.
Reinsurance contracts held measured under the PAA
The Group applies the same accounting principles to measure a group of insurance contracts or reinsurance contracts 
held under the PAA.
If a loss-recovery component is established for a group of reinsurance contracts held measured under the PAA, the Group 
adjusts the carrying amount of the asset.

2.3.9 Derecognition and contract modification
The Group derecognises a contract when it is extinguished – i.e. when the specified obligations in the contract expire or 
are discharged or cancelled.
The Group also derecognises a contract if its terms are modified in a way that would have changed the accounting for the 
contract significantly had the new terms always existed, in which case a new contract based on the modified terms is 
recognised. If a contract modification does not result in derecognition, then the Group treats the changes in cash flows 
caused by the modification as changes in estimates of fulfilment cash flows.
On the derecognition of a contract in a group of contracts not measured under the PAA:
•	
the fulfilment cash flows allocated to the group are adjusted to eliminate those that relate to the rights and obligations 
derecognised;
•	
the CSM of the group is adjusted for the change in the fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, except where 
such changes are allocated to a loss component; and
•	
the number of coverage units for the expected remaining services is adjusted to reflect the coverage units derecognised 
from the group.
If a contract is derecognised because it is transferred to third party, then the CSM is also adjusted for the premium charged 
by the third party, unless the contract is onerous.
If a contract is derecognised because its terms are modified, then the CSM is also adjusted for the premium that would 
have been charged had the Group entered into a contract with the new contract’s terms at the date of modification, less 
any additional premium charged for the modification. The new contract recognised is measured assuming that, at the date 
of modification, the issuer received the premium that it would have charged less any additional premium charged for the 
modification.

2.3.10 Presentation
Portfolios of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held in an asset position are presented separately from those 
in a liability position. Portfolios of insurance contracts issued are presented separately from portfolios of reinsurance 
contracts held. Any assets recognised for insurance acquisition cash flows arising before the recognition of the related 
group of insurance contracts are included in the carrying amount of the related portfolios of insurance contracts. Any 
assets or liabilities for cash flows arising before the recognition of the related group of reinsurance contracts held are 
included in the carrying amount of the related portfolios of reinsurance contracts held.
The Group disaggregates amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income into (a) an insurance service result, comprising insurance revenue and insurance service expenses, 
and (b) insurance finance income or expenses.
Income and expenses from reinsurance contracts held are presented separately from income and expenses from insurance 
contracts. Income and expenses from reinsurance contracts held, other than insurance finance income or expenses, are 
presented on a net basis as “net expenses from reinsurance contracts held” in the insurance service result.
The Group does not disaggregate changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk between the insurance service 
result and insurance finance income or expenses. All changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are included in 
the insurance service result.
Insurance revenue and insurance service expenses exclude any investment components and are recognised as follows.
2.3.10.1 Insurance revenue – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA
The Group recognises insurance revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations – i.e. as it provides services under 
groups of contracts. For contracts not measured under the PAA, the insurance revenue relating to services provided for 
each period represents the total of the changes in the LRC that relate to services for which the Group expects to receive 
consideration, but excludes expected investment components and mainly comprises the following items:
•	
A release of the CSM, measured based on coverage units provided;
•	
Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk relating to current services;
•	
Claims and other insurance service expenses incurred in the period, generally measured at the amounts expected at 
the beginning of the period; and
•	
Other amounts, including experience adjustments for premium receipts for current or past services and amounts 
related to incurred policyholder tax expenses.
For insurance acquisition cash flows recovery, the Group allocates a portion of premiums related to the recovery in a 
systematic way based on the passage of time over the expected coverage of a group of contracts. The allocated amount is 
recognised as insurance revenue with the same amount recognised as insurance service expenses.

2.3.10.2 Release of the CSM – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA
The amount of the CSM of a group of insurance contracts that is recognised as insurance revenue in each reporting period 
is determined by identifying the coverage units in the group, allocating the CSM remaining at the end of the reporting 
period (before any allocation) equally to each coverage unit provided in the current period and expected to be provided in 
future periods, and recognising in profit or loss the amount of the CSM allocated to coverage units provided in the current 
period. The number of coverage units is the quantity of services provided by the contracts in the group, determined 
considering for each contract the quantity of benefits provided and its expected coverage period.
2.3.10.3 Insurance revenue – insurance contracts measured under the PAA
For contracts measured under the PAA, the insurance revenue for each period is the amount of expected premium for 
providing services in the period. The Group allocates the expected premium to each period on the following bases:
•	
the passage of time; or
•	
the expected timing of incurred insurance service expenses, if the expected pattern of release of risk during the 
coverage period differs significantly from the passage of time.
2.3.10.4 Loss components – insurance contracts not measured under the PAA
For contracts not measured under the PAA, the Group establishes a loss component of the LRC for onerous groups of 
contracts. The loss component determines the amounts of fulfilment cash flows that are subsequently excluded from 
insurance revenue when they occur. When the fulfilment cash flows occur, they are allocated between the loss component 
and the LRC excluding the loss component on a systematic basis.
Changes in estimates of fulfilment cash flows relating to future services and changes in the Group’s share of the fair value 
of underlying items are allocated solely to the loss component. If the loss component is reduced to zero, then any excess 
over the amount allocated to the loss component creates or reinstates the CSM for the group of contracts.
2.3.10.5 Insurance service expenses
Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are recognised in profit or loss generally as they are incurred. 
They exclude repayments of investment components and mainly comprise the following items:
•	
Incurred claims and other insurance service expenses;
•	
Amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows: for contracts not measured under the PAA, this is equal to the amount 
of insurance revenue recognised in the period that relates to recovering insurance acquisition cash flows. For contracts 
measured under the PAA, the Group amortises insurance acquisition cash flows on a straight-line basis over the 
coverage period of the group of contracts;
•	
Losses on onerous contracts and reversals of such losses; and
•	
Adjustments to the liabilities for incurred claims that do not arise from the effects of the time value of money, financial 
risk and changes therein.

2.3.10.6 Net expenses from reinsurance contracts held
Net expenses from reinsurance contracts held mainly comprise an allocation of reinsurance premiums paid less amounts 
recovered from reinsurers.
The Group recognises an allocation of reinsurance premiums paid as reinsurance expenses within net expenses from 
reinsurance contracts held for the coverage or other services received by the Group under groups of reinsurance contracts 
held. For contracts not measured under the PAA, the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid relating to services received 
for each period represents the total of the changes in the asset for remaining coverage that relate to services for which the 
Group expects to pay consideration.
For contracts measured under the PAA, the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid for each period is the amount of 
expected premium payments for receiving services in the period.
For a group of reinsurance contracts held covering onerous underlying contracts, the Group establishes a loss-recovery 
component of the asset for remaining coverage to depict the recovery of losses recognised:
•	
on recognition of onerous underlying contracts, if the reinsurance contract held covering those contracts is entered 
into before or at the same time as those contracts are entered into; and
•	
for changes in fulfilment cash flows of the group of reinsurance contracts held relating to future services that result 
from changes in fulfilment cash flows of the onerous underlying contracts.
2.3.10.7 Insurance finance income or expenses
Insurance finance income or expenses comprise changes in the carrying amounts of groups of insurance contracts and 
reinsurance contracts held arising from the effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein. This 
includes changes in the measurement of groups of contracts caused by changes in the value of underlying items (excluding 
additions and withdrawals).
For certain portfolios, the Group has chosen to disaggregate insurance finance income or expenses between profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income. The amount included in profit or loss is determined by a systematic allocation of the 
expected total insurance finance income or expenses over the duration of the group of contracts. The systematic allocation 
is determined as follows:
•	
Contracts for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk have a substantial effect on the amounts paid 
to the policyholders: for insurance finance income or expenses arising from the estimates of future cash flows, using 
either a rate that allocates the remaining revised expected insurance finance income or expenses over the remaining 
duration of the group of contracts at a constant rate (i.e. the effective yield) or an allocation that is based on the 
amounts credited in the period and expected to be credited in future periods; and for insurance finance income or 
expenses arising from the CSM, the discount rates determined on initial recognition of the group of contracts. This 
selection of the rate applied is based on the characteristics of contracts.
•	
Contracts for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk do not have a substantial effect on the amounts 
paid to the policyholders: the discount rates determined on initial recognition of the group of contracts.
Amounts presented in other comprehensive income are accumulated in the insurance finance reserve. If the Group 
derecognises a contract without direct participation features as a result of a transfer to a third party or a contract 
modification, then any remaining amounts of accumulated other comprehensive income for the contract are reclassified 
to profit or loss.
The Group presents insurance finance income or expenses for all other contracts in profit or loss.

2.4 Investment contracts
Investment contracts do not contain sufficient insurance risk to be considered insurance contracts and are accounted for 
as a financial liability, other than investment contracts with DPF which are excluded from the scope of IFRS 9 and are 
accounted for as insurance contracts.
Revenue from these contracts consists of various charges (policy fees, handling fees, management fees and surrender 
charges) made against the contract for the cost of insurance, expenses and early surrender. First year charges are 
amortised over the life of the contract as the services are provided.
Investment contract fee revenue
Customers are charged fees for policy administration, investment management, surrenders or other contract services. The 
fees may be fixed amounts or vary with the amounts being managed, and will generally be charged as an adjustment to 
the policyholder’s account balance. The fees are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are received unless 
they relate to services to be provided in future periods, in which case they are deferred and recognised as the service is 
provided.
When part of the fee received from a policyholder is expected to be refunded in the future, the related fee is not recognised 
as a revenue and a sales inducement liability is established which forms part of the investment contract liabilities.
Origination and other “upfront” fees (fees that are assessed against the account balance as consideration for origination 
of the contract) are charged on some non-participating investment and pension contracts. Where the investment contract 
is recorded at amortised cost, these fees are amortised and recognised over the expected term of the policy as an 
adjustment to the effective yield. Where the investment contract is measured at fair value, the front-end fees that relate to 
the provision of investment management services are amortised and recognised as the services are provided.
Deferred origination costs
The costs of acquiring investment contracts with investment management services, including commissions and other 
incremental expenses directly related to the issue of each new contract, are deferred and amortised over the period that 
services are provided. Deferred origination costs are tested for recoverability at each reporting date.
The costs of acquiring new investment contracts without investment management services are included as part of the 
effective interest rate used to calculate the amortised cost of the related investment contract liabilities.
Investment contract liabilities
Deposits received in respect of investment contracts are not accounted for through the consolidated income statement, 
except for the investment income and fees attributable to those contracts, but are accounted for directly through the 
consolidated statement of financial position as an adjustment to the investment contract liability, which reflects the 
account balance.
The majority of the Group’s contracts classified as investment contracts are unit-linked contracts, with measurement 
directly linked to the underlying investment assets. These represent investment portfolios maintained to meet specific 
investment objectives of policyholders who generally bear the credit and market risks on those investments. The liabilities 
are carried at fair value determined with reference to the accumulation value (current unit value) with changes recognised 
in profit or loss. The costs of policy administration, investment management, surrender charges and certain policyholder 
taxes assessed against customers’ account balances are included in revenue, and accounted for as described under 
“Investment contract fee revenue” above.

2.4 Investment contracts (continued)
Investment contract liabilities (continued)
Non unit-linked investment contract liabilities are carried at amortised cost, being the fair value of consideration received 
at the date of initial recognition, less the net effect of principal payments such as transaction costs and front-end fees, plus 
or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount 
and the maturity value, and less any write-down for surrender payments. The effective interest rate equates the discounted 
cash payments to the initial amount. At each reporting date, the unearned revenue liability is determined as the value of 
the future best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. Any adjustment is immediately recognised as 
income or expenses in the consolidated income statement.
The amortised cost of the financial liability is never recorded at less than the amount payable on surrender, discounted for 
the time value of money where applicable, if the investment contract is subject to a surrender option.
Deferred fee income liability
Deferred fee income liability represents upfront fees and other non-level charges that have been collected and released 
to the consolidated income statement over the estimated life of the business. A separate liability for accumulation value is 
established.
2.5 Financial instruments
2.5.1 Classification and designation of financial instruments
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive 
income or fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, unless the Group changes its business model 
for managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified at the beginning of the reporting 
period during which the business model has changed.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair 
value through profit or loss:
•	
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
•	
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.
A debt security is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions 
and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
•	
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling 
financial assets; and
•	
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity security that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent 
changes in fair value in other comprehensive income on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as 
described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, on initial recognition the Group may 
irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at fair 
value through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly 
reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

2.5 Financial instruments (continued)
2.5.1 Classification and designation of financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise two categories:
•	
financial assets or liabilities mandatorily classified as at fair value through profit or loss; and
•	
financial assets or liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
Management designates financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss if this eliminates a measurement 
or recognition inconsistency or if the liabilities are actively managed on a fair value basis, including among others debt 
securities held in participating funds and other participating business with distinct portfolios.
Dividend income from equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in other investment 
return in the consolidated income statement, generally when the security becomes ex-dividend. Interest revenue is 
recognised on an accrued basis. For all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, changes 
in fair value are recognised in profit or loss as part of net investment result.
Transaction costs in respect of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed as they are 
incurred.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
These principally consist of the Group’s debt securities (other than those backing participating funds, other participating 
business with distinct portfolios and unit-linked contracts). These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus 
attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value. The difference between their cost and par 
value is amortised. Interest revenue is recognised in investment return in the consolidated income statement using the 
effective interest method.
Unrealised gains and losses on securities are analysed between differences resulting from foreign currency translation, 
and other fair value changes. Foreign currency translation differences are calculated as if they were carried at amortised 
cost and so are recognised in the consolidated income statement as other investment return. For impairments, reference 
is made to the section “Impairment of financial assets”.
Changes in the fair value of securities, except for impairment losses and relevant foreign exchange gains and losses, are 
recognised in other comprehensive income. Impairment losses and relevant foreign exchange gains and losses are 
recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Realised gains and losses on financial assets
Realised gains and losses on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss excludes any interest revenue 
or dividend income.
Realised gains and losses on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are determined 
as the difference between the sale proceeds and its original cost or amortised cost as appropriate. Amortised cost is 
determined by specific identification.
Recognition of financial instruments
Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date at which the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the assets.

2.5.1 Classification and designation of financial instruments (continued)
Derecognition, contract modification and offset
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where 
the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. If the Group neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, it derecognises the financial asset if it no longer 
has control over the asset. In transfers where control over the asset is retained, the Group continues to recognise the asset 
to the extent of its continuing involvement. The extent of continuing involvement is determined by the extent to which the 
Group is exposed to changes in the fair value of the asset.
Financial liabilities are generally derecognised when their contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 
Notwithstanding, when, and only when, the Group repurchases its financial liability and includes it as underlying items of 
contracts with direct participation features or investment contracts with DPF, the Group may elect not to derecognise the 
financial liability. Instead, the Group may elect to continue to account for that instrument as a financial liability and to 
account for the repurchased instrument as if it were a financial asset and measure it at fair value through profit or loss. 
This election is irrevocable and is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
If the terms of a financial instrument are modified, then the Group evaluates whether the cash flows of the modified 
financial instrument are substantially different. If the cash flows are substantially different, in which case, a new financial 
instrument based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. If a financial instrument is modified but not substantially, 
then it is not derecognised.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position 
only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net 
basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid 
investments held for cash management purposes, which have maturities at acquisition of three months or less, or are 
convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents 
also include cash received as collateral for derivative transactions, and repo and reverse repo transactions, as well as cash 
and cash equivalents held for the benefit of policyholders in connection with unit-linked products. Cash and cash 
equivalents that are not mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Other than cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortised cost primarily include debt securities, loans 
and deposits, and receivables. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. 
Subsequently, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Interest 
revenue from debt securities measured at amortised cost is recognised in investment return in the consolidated income 
statement using the effective interest method.

in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, having regard to the specific characteristics 
of the asset or liability concerned, assuming that the transfer takes place in the most advantageous market to which the 
Group has access. The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as financial instruments at fair 
value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income) are based on quoted market prices at the 
date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the 
Group is the current bid price, which is considered to be the price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of 
the fair value in the circumstances. The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets are 
determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on 
market conditions at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position. The objective of using a valuation 
technique is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants at the 
date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Financial instruments carried at fair value are measured using a fair value hierarchy described in note 20.
2.5.3 Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortised cost and 
debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Loss allowances are measured at an amount 
equal to lifetime ECL, except in the following cases, for which the amount recognised is 12-month ECL:
•	
financial assets that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
•	
financial assets (other than trade receivables or lease receivables) for which credit risk has not increased significantly 
since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables and lease receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument, whereas 
12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that results from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the 
reporting date. In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over 
which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses and are measured as follows:
•	
financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the reporting date: the present value of all cash shortfalls – i.e. the 
difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group 
expects to receive; and
•	
other financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date: the difference between the gross carrying amount 
and the present value of estimated future cash flows.
Loss allowances for ECL of financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of 
the assets, and loss allowances for debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are 
recognised in other comprehensive income and do not reduce the carrying amount of the financial assets in the statement 
of financial position.

2.5 Financial instruments (continued)
2.5.3 Impairment of financial assets (continued)
The gross carrying amount of financial assets is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic 
prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources 
of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. This assessment is 
carried out at the individual asset level. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement 
activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
2.5.4 Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps that derive their 
value mainly from underlying foreign exchange rates and interest rates. All derivatives are initially recognised in the 
consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value, which represents their cost excluding transaction costs, 
which are expensed. They are subsequently remeasured at their fair value, with movements in this value recognised in 
profit or loss. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices or, if these are not available, by using valuation techniques 
such as discounted cash flow models or option pricing models. All derivatives are carried as assets when the fair values 
are positive and as liabilities when the fair values are negative.
Derivative instruments for economic hedging
Whilst the Group enters into derivative transactions to provide economic hedges under the Group’s risk management 
framework, it adopts hedge accounting to these transactions only in limited circumstances. This is either because the 
transactions would not meet the specific IFRS Accounting Standards rules to be eligible for hedge accounting or the 
documentation requirements to meet hedge accounting criteria would be unduly onerous. Where hedge accounting does 
not apply, these transactions are treated as held for trading and fair value movements are recognised immediately in other 
investment return.
Cash flow hedge
The Group has, in a limited number of cases, designated certain derivatives as hedges of interest rate risk associated with 
the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions such as forecast purchases of debt securities. Starting from 1 
January 2025, the Group has elected to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and considers that there is no 
material impact to the Group for the prior periods. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the 
derivatives designated as hedging instruments is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve in other comprehensive 
income within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Amounts 
accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve are reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. 
In respect of a forecast purchase of a debt security classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, the cash 
flows are expected to affect profit or loss when the coupons from the purchased bond are recognised, or on disposal of the 
security. The application of hedge accounting is discontinued when one of the following situations occurs: when a 
derivative designated as the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised prior to the occurrence of the 
forecast transaction, or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. In these situations, the 
cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognised in other comprehensive income from the 
period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. This amount is 
reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to 
occur, the entire amount is reclassified immediately to profit or loss.

Embedded derivatives
Embedded derivatives are derivatives embedded within other non-derivative host financial instruments to create hybrid 
instruments. Where the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to the 
economic characteristics and risks of the host instrument that is not a financial asset within the scope of IFRS 9, and 
where the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss, the 
embedded derivative is bifurcated and carried at fair value as a derivative in accordance with IFRS 9.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property held for own use, which is solely held as an underlying item of insurance contracts with direct participation 
features, is measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value, with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. 
Any gain or loss on disposal of property held for own use measured at fair value (calculated as the difference between the 
net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.
2.7 Presentation of the consolidated statement of financial position
The Group’s insurance and investment contract liabilities and related assets are realised and settled over periods of several 
years, reflecting the long-term nature of the Group’s products. Accordingly, the Group presents the assets and liabilities in 
its consolidated statement of financial position in approximate order of liquidity, rather than distinguishing current and 
non-current assets and liabilities. The Group regards its deferred origination costs, intangible assets, investments in 
associates and joint ventures, property, plant and equipment and investment property as non-current assets as these are 
held for the longer-term use of the Group.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and revenue and 
expenses. All estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current facts and circumstances, assumptions based 
on that knowledge and predictions of future events and actions. Actual results can always differ from those estimates, 
possibly significantly.
Items that are considered particularly sensitive to changes in estimates and assumptions, and the relevant accounting 
policies are those which relate to insurance contracts (including investment contracts with DPF), fair value measurement, 
impairment of financial assets and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
3.1 Level of aggregation and recognition of group of insurance contracts
For contracts issued to which the Group does not apply the premium allocation approach, the judgements exercised in 
determining whether contracts are onerous on initial recognition or those that have no significant possibility of becoming 
onerous subsequently are:
•	
based on the likelihood of changes in assumptions which, if they occurred, would result in the contracts becoming 
onerous; and
•	
using information about profitability estimation for the relevant group of products.
The accounting policy on level of aggregation and recognition of group of insurance contracts is described in note 2.3.3.
3.2 Measurement of insurance contracts not measured under the premium allocation approach
The asset or liability for groups of insurance contracts is measured as the total of fulfilment cash flows and CSM.
The fulfilment cash flows of insurance contracts (including investment contracts with DPF) represents the present value 
of estimated future cash outflows, less the present value of estimated future cash inflows and adjusted for a provision for 
the risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The assumptions used and the techniques for estimating fulfilment cash flows 
and risk adjustment for non-financial risk are based on actual experience by each geographical market and policy form. 
The Group exercises significant judgement in making appropriate assumptions and techniques.
CSM represents the unearned profits that the Group will recognise as it provides services under the insurance contracts in 
a group. The amounts of CSM recognised in profit or loss are determined by identifying the coverage units in the group, 
allocating the CSM at the end of period equally to each coverage unit provided in the current period and expected to be 
provided in the future. The number of coverage units in a group is the quantity of the services provided by the contracts in 
the group, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the services provided under a contract and its 
expected coverage period. The Group exercises judgements in determining the quantity of the services provided under a 
contract which will affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements as insurance revenue from 
insurance contracts issued.
The judgements exercised in the valuation of insurance contracts (including investment contracts with DPF) affect the 
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements as assets or liabilities of insurance contracts and investment 
contracts with DPF. Further details of the related accounting policies, key risk and variables, and the sensitivities of 
assumptions to the key variables in respect of insurance contracts are provided in notes 2.3, 24 and 34.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
3.3 Determination of coverage unit
The CSM of a group of contracts is recognised as insurance revenue in each period based on the number of coverage units 
provided in the period, which is determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the services provided, its 
expected coverage period and time value of money.
The quantity of services provided by insurance contracts could include insurance coverage, investment-return service and 
investment-related service, as applicable. In assessing the services provided by insurance contracts, the terms and benefit 
features of the contracts are considered.
For contracts providing predominately insurance coverage, the quantity of services is determined for the contract as a 
whole based on the expected maximum benefits less investment component. For contracts providing multiple services, 
the quantity of services is determined based on the benefits provided to policyholder for each service with the relative 
weighting considered in the calculation through the use of factors. Relevant elements are considered in determining the 
quantity of services including among others, benefit payments and premiums. The Group applies judgement in these 
determinations.
Expected coverage period is derived based on the likelihood of an insured event occurring to the extent they affect the 
expected duration of contracts in the group. Determining the expected coverage period is judgemental since it involves 
making an expectation of when claims and lapse will occur.
3.4 Fair value measurement
3.4.1 Fair value of financial assets
The Group determines the fair values of financial assets traded in active markets using quoted bid prices as of each 
reporting date. The fair values of financial assets that are not traded in active markets are typically determined using a 
variety of other valuation techniques, such as prices observed in recent transactions and values obtained from current bid 
prices of comparable investments. More judgement is used in measuring the fair value of financial assets for which market 
observable prices are not available or are available only infrequently.
The degree of judgement used in measuring the fair value of financial assets generally correlates with the level of pricing 
observability. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether 
the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction and 
general market conditions.
Further details of the fair value of financial assets and the sensitivity analysis to interest rates and equity prices are 
provided in notes 20 and 34.

3.4 Fair value measurement (continued)
3.4.2 Fair value of property held for own use and investment property
The Group uses independent professional valuers to determine the fair value of properties on the basis of the highest and 
best use of the properties that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. In most cases, current use 
of the properties is considered to be the highest and best use for determining the fair value. Different valuation techniques 
may be adopted to reach the fair value of the properties. Under the Market Data Approach, records of recent sales and 
offerings of similar property are analysed and comparisons are made for factors such as size, location, quality and 
prospective use. For investment properties, the discounted cash flow approach may be used by reference to net rental 
income allowing for reversionary income potential to estimate the fair value of the properties. On some occasions, the cost 
approach is used as well to calculate the fair value which reflects the cost that would be required to replace the service 
capacity of the property.
Further details of the fair value of property held for own use and investment property are provided in note 20.
3.5 Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for ECL on financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt securities measured 
at fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of ECL requires the use of complex models and 
significant assumptions about future economic conditions and credit behaviour. Details of the inputs, assumptions and 
estimation techniques used for estimating ECL are further explained in note 23.
A number of significant judgements are also required in applying the accounting requirements for measuring ECL, such 
as:
•	
Determining criteria for significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition;
•	
Choosing appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL; and
•	
Establishing the methodology for incorporating forward-looking information into the measurement of ECL.
3.6 Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill and other intangible assets are grouped into cash-generating units or 
groups of cash-generating units. These assets are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the 
cash-generating unit (group of units), including goodwill, to the recoverable amount of that cash-generating unit (group 
of units). The determination of the recoverable amount requires significant judgement regarding the selection of 
appropriate valuation techniques and assumptions.
Further details of the impairment of goodwill during the year are provided in note 14.

6. TOTAL WEIGHTED PREMIUM INCOME AND ANNUALISED NEW PREMIUMS
For management decision-making and internal performance management purposes, the Group measures business 
volumes during the year using a performance measure referred to as total weighted premium income (TWPI). The Group 
measures new business activity using a performance measure referred to as annualised new premiums (ANP). The 
presentation of this note is consistent with our reportable segment presentation in note 7.
TWPI consists of 100 per cent of renewal premiums, 100 per cent of first year premiums and 10 per cent of single 
premiums, before reinsurance ceded.
Management considers that TWPI provides an indicative volume measure of transactions undertaken in the reporting 
period that have the potential to generate profits for shareholders. The amounts shown are not intended to be indicative 
of insurance revenue and fee income recorded in the consolidated income statement.
ANP is a key internal measure of new business activities, which consists of 100 per cent of annualised first year premiums 
and 10 per cent of single premiums, before reinsurance ceded. ANP excludes new business of pension business, personal 
lines and motor insurance.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s operating segments, based on the reports received by the Group’s chief operating decision-maker, considered 
to be the Executive Committee (ExCo), are each of the geographical markets in which the Group operates. Each of the 
reportable segments, other than the “Group Corporate Centre” segment, writes life insurance business, providing life 
insurance, accident and health insurance and savings plans to customers in its local market, and distributes related 
investment and other financial services products. The reportable segments are Mainland China, Hong Kong (including 
Macau), Thailand, Singapore (including Brunei), Malaysia, Other Markets and Group Corporate Centre. Other Markets 
includes the Group’s operations in Australia, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, New Zealand, the Philippines, South 
Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan (China) and Vietnam. The activities of the Group Corporate Centre segment consist of the Group’s 
corporate functions, shared services and eliminations of intra-group transactions.
As each reportable segment other than the Group Corporate Centre segment focuses on serving the life insurance needs 
of its local market, there are limited transactions between reportable segments. The key performance indicators reported 
in respect of each segment are:
•	
ANP;
•	
TWPI;
•	
insurance service result;
•	
net investment result;
•	
operating expenses;
•	
operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders of AIA Group Limited;
•	
expense ratio, measured as operating expenses divided by TWPI;
•	
operating margin, measured as operating profit after tax expressed as a percentage of TWPI; and
•	
operating return on shareholders’ allocated equity measured on an annualised basis as operating profit after tax 
attributable to shareholders of AIA Group Limited expressed as a percentage of the simple average of opening and 
closing shareholders’ allocated segment equity (being the segment assets less segment liabilities in respect of each 
reportable segment less non-controlling interests, insurance finance reserve and fair value reserve).
Business volumes in respect of the Group’s five largest customers are less than 30 per cent of insurance revenue and net 
investment result in this note.
The Group recognises deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings in jurisdictions where withholding tax 
charge would be incurred upon dividend distribution.

11. INCOME TAX (continued)
Global minimum tax
The GMT, developed as part of the second pillar (known as ‘Pillar Two’) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and 
Development’s (OECD) current programme of work on international tax reform to counteract perceived base erosion and 
profit shifting (BEPS) by multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as ‘BEPS 2.0’, seeks to impose a minimum 
effective tax rate of 15 per cent on large multinational enterprises in respect of each jurisdiction in which they operate.
In 2021, the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS published the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules, as the 
basis for jurisdictions to enact new local tax laws to give effect to Pillar Two of BEPS 2.0. The GMT top-up tax refers to 
‘Pillar Two income taxes’, which are income taxes arising from tax law enacted to implement the GloBE Model Rules, 
including tax law that implements a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax (QDMTT) described in those rules.
On 6 June 2025, Hong Kong enacted Global Minimum Tax legislation to implement a Hong Kong minimum top-up tax 
(HKMTT) (which qualifies as a QDMTT) and an income inclusion rule (IIR), which apply in relation to fiscal years beginning 
on or after 1 January 2025. The Group is in scope of these rules since it is headquartered and has operations in Hong Kong.
Broadly, under the HKMTT, the Group is required to pay top-up tax where the aggregated corporate tax rate of its constituent 
entities located in Hong Kong is below the minimum rate of 15 per cent. Under Hong Kong’s IIR, the Group is further 
required to pay top-up tax, on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, where the aggregated corporate tax rate of its constituent 
entities located in a jurisdiction other than Hong Kong is below the minimum rate of 15 per cent.
IAS 12, Income Taxes mandates that as a temporary exception to the requirements under that standard, entities shall 
neither recognise nor disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the GMT top-up tax. The 
Group has applied this exception and has not assessed the potential deferred tax impacts of the GMT top-up tax. The Group 
will continue to monitor the requirement to apply this exception and prepare its accounts accordingly.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recognised current tax expenses of US$54m in respect of the GMT 
top-up tax (2024: nil). As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s GMT top-up tax position for the year ended 31 December 2025 
has not yet been assessed or confirmed by the relevant tax authorities. The GMT top-up tax provision recognised for the 
year ended 31 December 2025 is expected to be settled in 2027.
The Group continues to monitor developments related to the GMT, including the interpretation and application of its 
various rules, as these may impact the Group’s GMT top-up tax liability.

the basis for calculating taxable profit, for example Hong Kong, where life business taxable profit is derived from life premiums.
(2)	 Provisions for uncertain tax positions relate to situations where the Group’s interpretation of the relevant law or regulation may differ from that of 
the tax authorities. Provisions are recognised based on management’s judgement and best estimate in relation to the probability or likelihood of 
different outcomes arising, which is subject to periodic re-assessment. Due to the uncertainty associated with these items, there remains a 
possibility that the final outcomes may differ on conclusion of the relevant tax matters at a future date.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
11. INCOME TAX (continued)
The principal temporary differences arise from the basis of recognition of insurance and investment contract liabilities, 
revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities including derivative contracts and the future taxes arising on the 
surplus in life funds where the relevant local tax regime is distributions-based.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that sufficient future taxable profits will be available for realisation. The 
Group has not recognised deferred tax assets of US$136m (2024: US$156m) on tax losses and the temporary difference 
on insurance and investment contract liabilities arising from different accounting and statutory/tax reserving methodology 
for certain branches and subsidiaries on the basis that they have histories of tax losses and there is insufficient evidence 
that future taxable profits will be available.
The Group has not provided deferred tax liabilities of US$243m (2024: US$238m) in respect of unremitted earnings of 
operations in jurisdictions from which a withholding tax charge would be incurred upon distribution as the Group does not 
consider it probable that this portion of accumulated earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future.
The Group has unused income tax losses carried forward in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, 
Australia, Cambodia, Macau, Myanmar, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan (China) and Vietnam. The tax 
losses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand can be carried forward indefinitely. The tax losses of remaining 
branches and subsidiaries are due to expire within the periods ending 2027 (Macau and the Philippines), 2028 (Myanmar), 
2030 (Cambodia, Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam), 2034 (Taiwan (China)), 2035 (Malaysia) and 2040 (South 
Korea).

Impairment tests for goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable 
assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill arises primarily in respect of the Group’s insurance businesses in Malaysia of US$723m (2024: US$656m), Hong 
Kong of US$593m (2024: US$484m), Australia of US$411m (2024: US$382m), the Philippines of US$171m (2024: 
US$174m) and New Zealand of US$151m (2024: US$141m).
Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (group of units), including 
goodwill, to the recoverable amount of that cash-generating unit (group of units). If the recoverable amount of the unit 
(group of units) exceeds the carrying amount of the unit (group of units), the goodwill allocated to that unit (group of units) 
shall be regarded as not impaired. The recoverable amount is the value in use of the cash-generating unit (group of units) 
unless otherwise stated.
The value in use is determined by calculating as an actuarially determined appraisal value, based on embedded value of 
the business and the present value of expected future new business of the cash-generating unit (group of units). The 
present value of expected future new business is based on financial budgets approved by management, typically covering 
a three-year period unless otherwise stated. These financial budgets reflect management’s best estimate of future profit 
based on historical experience and best estimate operating assumptions such as premium and expenses. Further, the 
present value of expected future new business beyond this initial three-year period are extrapolated using a perpetual 
growth rate, which typically does not exceed the long-term expected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of the 
geographical area in which the cash flows supporting the goodwill are generated.
The key assumptions used in the embedded value calculations include risk discount rate, investment returns, mortality, 
morbidity, persistency, expenses and inflation. Taking into account changes in market interest rates, majority of these 
assumptions are aligned to those assumptions detailed in Section 5 of Supplementary Embedded Value Information. The 
present value of expected future new business is calculated based on a combination of indicators which include, among 
others, taking into account recent production mix, business strategy, market trends and risk associated with the future 
new business projections. The risk discount rates that are used in the value in use of in-force business and present value 
of expected future new business ranges from 8 per cent to 14 per cent (2024: 8 per cent to 14 per cent) and the perpetual 
growth rates for future new business cash flows of 3 per cent (2024: 3 per cent) was used, where applicable, to extrapolate 
the present value of expected future new business beyond the initial three-year period; the rate was determined by 
reference to the long-term expected GDP growth of the geographical area in which the cash flows supporting the goodwill 
are generated. The Group may apply alternative methods to estimate the value of future new business if the described 
method is not appropriate under the circumstances.

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control or jointly control. 
Generally, it is presumed that the Group has significant influence if it has between 20 per cent and 50 per cent of voting 
rights. Joint ventures are entities whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to 
joint control arising from a contractual agreement.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Due to timing of the 
information provided by China Post Life Insurance Co., Ltd. and Tata AIA Life Insurance Company Limited, these investments 
are reported on a one-quarter-lag basis.
Goodwill arising on associates and joint ventures is included within the carrying value of those investments. These are held 
for their long-term contribution to the Group’s performance, therefore all amounts are expected to be realised more than 
12 months after the end of the reporting period.
The Group’s interests in its principal associates and joint ventures are as follows:

The Group leases various properties, computer hardware, fixtures, fittings and other small items as a lessee. These leases, 
except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, are recognised as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at 
the date at which the leased assets are available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are presented as a component 
of property, plant and equipment or investment property while lease liabilities are presented as a component of other 
liabilities (see notes 17 and 30). The depreciation charge for right-of-use assets, by class of underlying asset, and finance 
cost on lease liabilities are disclosed in note 10. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a 
present value basis. A maturity analysis of the Group’s lease liabilities is disclosed in note 34.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the Group. These terms are used to maximise 
operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are 
exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.

Additions to right-of-use assets for the year ended 31 December 2025 were US$227m (2024: US$149m).
Property held for own use, which is solely held as an underlying item of insurance contracts with direct participation 
features, is measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value, with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. 
Other properties held for own use and right-of-use assets with respect to the Group’s interests in leasehold land and land 
use rights associated with property held for own use are carried at fair value at the reporting date less accumulated 
depreciation. The fair value at the reporting date is determined by independent professional valuers. Details of valuation 
techniques and process are disclosed in notes 3 and 20. All other property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets 
in relation to other leased property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated impairment losses.
Properties held for own use using fair value model
During the year, US$4m expenditure (2024: nil) recognised in the carrying amount of property held for own use was in the 
course of its construction. Decrease from revaluation on property held for own use of US$24m (2024: Decrease from 
revaluation on property held for own use of US$14m) were taken to profit or loss, of which US$22m (2024: US$12m) was 
related to right-of-use assets.
If property held for own use (excluding right-of-use assets) were stated on a historical cost basis, the carrying value would 
be US$36m (2024: US$52m). Similarly, stated on a historical basis the carrying value of the right-of-use assets related to 
the Group’s interests in leasehold land and land use rights associated with property held for own use would be US$627m 
(2024: US$524m).
Properties held for own use using revaluation model
During the year, nil expenditure (2024: nil) recognised in the carrying amount of property held for own use was in the 
course of its construction. Decrease from revaluation on property held for own use of US$17m (2024: Increase from 
revaluation on property held for own use of US$166m) were taken to other comprehensive income, of which US$5m 
(2024: US$118m) was related to right-of-use assets.
If property held for own use (excluding right-of-use assets) were stated on a historical cost basis, the carrying value would 
be US$1,821m (2024: US$1,780m). Similarly, stated on a historical basis the carrying value of the right-of-use assets 
related to the Group’s interests in leasehold land and land use rights associated with property held for own use would be 
US$290m (2024: US$294m). The Group holds property, plant and equipment for its long-term use and, accordingly, the 
annual depreciation charge approximates to the amount expected to be recovered through consumption within 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period.

Investment property, including land and buildings, is initially recognised at cost with changes in fair values in subsequent 
periods recognised in the consolidated income statement. The fair values at the reporting date are determined by 
independent professional valuers. Details of valuation techniques and process are disclosed in notes 3 and 20.
The Group leases out its investment property under operating leases. The leases typically run for an initial period of one to 
ten years, with an option to renew the lease based on future negotiations. Lease payments are usually negotiated every 
one to three years to reflect market rentals. There were not any material contingent rentals earned as income for the year. 
Rental income generated from investment property amounted to US$162m (2024: US$167m). Direct operating expenses 
(including repair and maintenance) on investment property that generates rental income amounted to US$40m (2024: 
US$37m).
The Group owns investment property in the form of freehold land outside Hong Kong and leasehold land. Leasehold land 
which is held for long-term rental or capital appreciation or both that is not occupied by the Group is classified as investment 
property. They are leased out under operating leases and are initially recognised as right-of-use assets at cost, with 
changes in fair values in subsequent periods recognised in the consolidated income statement. The Group does not hold 
freehold land in Hong Kong.
The future undiscounted lease payments under operating leases that the Group expects to receive in future periods may

18. FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
The following tables analyse the Group’s financial investments by type and nature, based on the characteristics of the 
financial investments at the reporting date. The Group manages its financial investments in two distinct categories: 
unit-linked investments and policyholder and shareholder investments. The investment risk in respect of unit-linked 
investments is generally borne by our customers and is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Policyholder and 
shareholder investments include all financial investments other than unit-linked investments. The investment risk in 
respect of policyholder and shareholder investments is partially or wholly borne by the Group.
Policyholder and shareholder investments are further categorised as participating funds and other participating business 
with discretionary expected sharing with policyholders and underlying distinct investment portfolios (Other participating 
business with distinct portfolios), and other policyholder and shareholder. The Group has elected to separately analyse 
financial investments held by participating funds and other participating business with distinct portfolios within 
policyholder and shareholder investments as they are subject to local regulations that generally prescribe a minimum 
proportion of policyholder participation in declared dividends. The Group measures debt securities, equity shares and 
interests in investment funds of participating funds and other participating business with distinct portfolios at fair value 
through profit or loss.
Other policyholder and shareholder investments are distinct from unit-linked investments and participating funds and 
other participating business with distinct portfolios as there is not any direct contractual or regulatory requirement 
governing the amount, if any, for allocation to policyholders. The Group measures equity shares, interests in investment 
funds and exchangeable loan notes at fair value through profit or loss in this category and at fair value through other 
comprehensive income in respect of the majority of debt securities in this category. The investment risk from investments 
in this category directly impacts the Group’s financial statements. For certain benefits of business written in “Participating 
funds and Other participating business with distinct portfolios” funds and “Unit-linked” funds that are not supported by 
the underlying segregated assets, the backing assets are generally included in the “Other policyholder and shareholder” 
funds.
In the following tables, “FVTPL” indicates financial investments classified at fair value through profit or loss, “FVOCI” 
indicates financial investments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income and “AC” indicates financial 
investments classified at amortised cost.
Debt securities
In compiling the tables, external ratings have been used where available. External ratings have been used in accordance 
with the Group’s credit risk assessment framework. Where external ratings are not readily available an internal rating 
methodology has been adopted, if applicable.
Credit risk limits are set according to the Group’s credit risk assessment framework, which defines the relative risk level of 
a debt security.

Interests in structured entities
The Group has determined that the investment funds and structured securities, such as collateralised debt obligations, 
mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities that the Group has interests are structured entities.
The Group has consolidated certain investment funds for which the Group provides guarantee on capital or rate of return 
to the investors and deemed to have control based on an analysis of the guidance in IFRS 10. For these investment funds, 
the Group has the ability to reduce the guaranteed rates of return, subject to obtaining approvals of applicable regulators. 
The Group has an obligation to absorb losses in the event that the returns of the funds are insufficient to cover the capital 
or rate of return guarantee provided to the investors.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
19. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Of the total derivatives, US$8m (2024: US$9m) are listed in exchange or dealer markets and the rest are over-the-counter 
(OTC) derivatives. OTC derivative contracts are individually negotiated between contracting parties and not cleared 
through an exchange. OTC derivatives include forwards, swaps, swaptions and options. Derivatives are subject to various 
risks including market, liquidity and credit risks, similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments.
Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as derivative 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial liabilities respectively. The Group’s derivative 
contracts are established to provide an economic hedge to financial exposures. The Group performs an ongoing assessment 
of derivative financial instruments to determine whether they meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting under 
IFRS 9 during the year, and may consider hedge accounting designation for other derivative financial instruments in future 
periods. In a limited number of cases, the Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in qualifying hedge 
relationships under IFRS 9. The notional or contractual amounts associated with derivative financial instruments are not 
recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as they do not represent the fair value 
of these transactions. The notional amounts in the previous table reflect the aggregate of individual derivative positions on 
a gross basis and so give an indication of the overall scale of derivative transactions.
Foreign exchange contracts
Foreign exchange forward and futures contracts represent agreements to exchange one currency for another currency at 
an agreed price and settlement date. Currency options are agreements that give the buyer the right to exchange one 
currency for another currency at agreed prices and settlement dates. Currency swaps are contractual agreements that 
involve the exchange of both periodic and final amounts in two different currencies. Exposure to gains and losses on the 
foreign exchange contracts will increase or decrease over their respective lives as a function of maturity dates, interest 
and foreign exchange rates, implied volatilities of the underlying indices and the timing of payments.
Interest rate contracts
Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange periodic payments in the same currency, 
each of which is computed on a different interest rate basis, on a specified notional amount. Most interest rate swaps 
involve the net exchange of payments calculated as the difference between the fixed and floating rate interest payments.
Swaptions are options to enter into interest rate swaps with forward starting effective dates. Swaptions give an entity the 
right, but not the obligation, to exchange fixed or floating interest rate payments through interest rate swaps. The Group’s 
swaptions are used to provide an economic hedge to financial exposures in the participating funds and other participating 
business with distinct portfolios.
Other derivatives
Warrants and options are option agreements that give the owner the right to buy or sell securities at an agreed price and 
settlement date. Forward contracts are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument on a predetermined 
future date at a specified price. Swaps are OTC contractual agreements between the Group and a third party to exchange 
a series of cash flows based upon index, rates or other variables applied to a notional amount.

19. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Derivative contracts under IFRS 9 hedge accounting
The Group regularly engages in hedging activities to manage its financial risks. Prior to second half of 2025, although the 
Group used derivative financial instruments (2024: forward contracts with notional amount of US$35,103m) to 
economically manage its exposure to interest rate risk, hedge accounting was not applied as the majority of these 
derivatives relate to insurance contract liabilities within participating funds and the change in fair value of those derivatives 
and the related change in insurance contract liabilities are both recognised in profit or loss, with no accounting mismatch.
During the second half of 2025, the Group started applying cash flow hedge accounting based on IFRS 9 requirements for 
certain bond forward contracts, which serve as a hedging instrument to manage the interest rate risk associated with 
insurance contract liabilities within non-participating funds, aligned with the Group’s Asset-Liability Management (ALM) 
framework. The hedged items are the forecast purchase of long-duration fixed-rate government bonds. By locking in the 
future purchase yields through the bond forwards, the Group aims to reduce the uncertainty in future investment income 
and ensure a more predictable matching of asset and liability cash flows. The application of hedge accounting aligns the 
accounting recognition of gains and losses on hedging instruments with the corresponding hedged items, which reduces 
accounting mismatches and volatility in profit or loss.
As of 31 December 2025, the bond forward contracts designated for hedge accounting had a notional amount of US$159m 
(2024: nil), compared to a total notional amount of all forward contracts held of US$35,010m (2024: US$35,103m). The 
change in fair value of the hedge-designated bond forward contracts has been recognised in other comprehensive income 
(OCI) for a total amount of US$(8)m (2024: nil).
The critical terms of the future bond purchase being hedged are embedded within the terms of the bond forward contract 
and the hedge ratio is set at 1:1 (100%) to manage the interest rate risk. Given the nature of this hedge, the source of 
hedge ineffectiveness is limited to the change in credit risk of the bank.
The Group held the following instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates:

Netting adjustment
The netting adjustment is related to options and futures contracts executed through clearing house where the settlement 
arrangement satisfies the netting criteria under IFRS Accounting Standards.
Collateral under derivative transactions
At 31 December 2025, the Group had posted cash collateral of US$25m (2024: US$111m) and pledged debt securities 
with carrying value of US$6,708m (2024: US$9,692m) for liabilities, and held cash collateral of US$419m (2024: 
US$401m) and debt securities collateral with carrying value of US$167m (2024: US$170m) for assets in respect of 
derivative transactions. The Group did not sell or repledge the debt collateral received. These transactions are conducted 
under terms that are usual and customary to collateralised transactions including, where relevant, standard repurchase 
agreements.

20. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis
The Group measures at fair value property held for own use, investment property, financial instruments classified at fair 
value through profit or loss, financial instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, derivative 
assets and liabilities, investments held by investment funds which are consolidated, investments in non-consolidated 
investment funds and certain investment contract liabilities on a recurring basis.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability 
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The degree of judgement used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of 
pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability 
and less judgement is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other than active markets 
or that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other 
pricing techniques that require more judgement. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability 
being valued occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
An other than active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary 
substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly for the asset or 
liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, 
whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction 
and general market conditions.
Fair value of properties is based on valuation by independent professional valuers.
The Group does not have assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the years ended 31 
December 2025 and 31 December 2024.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Group to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and 
properties.
Determination of fair value
Loans and receivables
For loans and advances that are repriced frequently and have not had any significant changes in credit risk, carrying 
amounts represent a reasonable estimate of fair values. The fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting 
expected future cash flows using interest rates offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.
The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently being 
offered in respect of similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated 
for purposes of the calculations.
Debt securities, equity shares, interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan notes
The fair values of equity shares, interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan notes are based on quoted market 
prices or, if unquoted, on estimated market values generally based on quoted prices for similar securities. Fair values for 
fixed interest securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. For those investments not actively traded, fair 
values are estimated using values obtained from brokers, private pricing services or by discounting expected future cash 
flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the investment. Priority is given to 
values from independent sources when available, but overall the source of pricing and/or valuation technique is chosen 
with the objective of arriving at the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants on 
the measurement date. The inputs to determining fair value that are relevant to fixed interest securities include, but not 
limited to risk-free interest rates, the obligor’s credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and credit default rates. For holdings 
in hedge funds and limited partnerships, fair values are determined based on the net asset values provided by the general 
partner or manager of each investment, the accounts of which are generally audited on an annual basis. The transaction 
price is used as the best estimate of fair value at inception.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
20. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
Determination of fair value (continued)
Derivative financial instruments
The Group values its derivative financial assets and liabilities using market transactions and other market evidence 
whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or 
dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the 
selection of a particular model to value a derivative depends on the contract terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the 
instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. The Group generally uses similar models to value 
similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, 
yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For derivatives that 
trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be verified and model 
selection does not involve significant management judgement. Examples of inputs that are generally observable include 
foreign exchange spot and forward rates, benchmark interest rate curves and volatilities for commonly traded option 
products. Examples of inputs that may be unobservable include volatilities for less commonly traded option products and 
correlations between market factors.
When the Group holds a group of derivative assets and derivative liabilities entered into with a particular counterparty, the 
Group takes into account the arrangements that mitigate credit risk exposure in the event of default (e.g. International 
Swap and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements and Credit Support Annex (CSA) that require the exchange 
of collateral on the basis of each party’s net credit risk exposure). The Group measures the fair value of the group of 
financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of its net exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty or the 
counterparty’s net exposure to our credit risk that reflects market participants’ expectations about the likelihood that such 
an arrangement would be legally enforceable in the event of default.
Property held for own use and investment property
The Group engaged external, independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of the Group’s properties at 
least on an annual basis. The valuation on an open market value basis by independent professional valuer for certain 
investment properties was calculated by reference to net rental income allowing for reversionary income potential. The 
fair values of certain other properties were derived using the Market Data Approach. In this approach, the values are based 
on sales and listing of comparable property registered in the vicinity. Certain other properties are valued using a combination 
of these two methods.
The properties held for own use and investment properties, in most cases, are valued on the basis of the highest and best 
use of the properties that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. The current use of the 
properties is considered to be its highest and best use; records of recent sales and offerings of similar property are analysed 
and comparison made for such factors as size, location, quality and prospective use. On limited occasions, potential 
redevelopment of the properties in use would be taken into account when they would maximise the fair value of the 
properties; the Group is occupying these properties for operational purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount of cash approximates to its fair value.
Fair value of securities sold under repurchase agreements and the associated payables
The contract values of payables under repurchase agreements approximate to their fair value as these obligations are 
short-term in nature.
Other assets
The carrying amount of other financial assets is not materially different to their fair value. The fair values of deposits with 
banks are generally based on quoted market prices or, if unquoted, on estimates based on discounting future cash flows 
using available market interest rates offered for receivables with similar characteristics.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
20. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
Determination of fair value (continued)
Investment contract liabilities
For investment contract liabilities, the fair values have been estimated using a discounted cash flow approach based on 
interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts 
being valued. For investment contracts where the investment risk is borne by the policyholder, the fair value generally 
approximates to the fair value of the underlying assets.
Investment contracts with DPF enable the contract holder to receive additional benefits as a supplement to guaranteed 
benefits. These are referred to as participating business and are measured and classified according to the Group’s practice 
for insurance contract liabilities and hence are disclosed within note 24. These are not measured at fair value as the Group 
applies the same accounting policies for the measurement of investment contracts with DPF as it does for insurance 
contracts under IFRS 17.
Borrowings
The fair values of borrowings have been estimated based on discounting future cash flows using the interest rates currently 
applicable to deposits of similar maturities or prices obtained from brokers.
Other liabilities
The fair values of other unquoted financial liabilities are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current 
market rates applicable to their yield, credit quality and maturity, except for those without stated maturity, where the 
carrying value approximates to fair value.
Fair value hierarchy for fair value measurement on a recurring basis
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are measured and classified 
in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of inputs available in the 
marketplace used to measure their fair values as discussed below:
•	
Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
that the Group has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Market price data is generally obtained from 
exchange or dealer markets. The Group does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. Assets measured at fair 
value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 are actively traded equities. The Group considers that government 
debt securities issued by G7 countries (the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom) 
and traded in a dealer market to be Level 1, until they no longer trade with sufficient frequency and volume to be 
considered actively traded.
•	
Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for 
the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 2 inputs include quoted prices 
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets 
that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset and liability, such as interest 
rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value 
on a recurring basis and classified as Level 2 generally include government debt securities issued by non-G7 countries, 
most investment grade corporate bonds, hedge fund investments and derivative contracts.
•	
Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. 
Unobservable inputs are only used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, 
allowing for circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities 
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 include properties held for own use, investment 
properties, certain classes of structured securities, certain derivative contracts, private equity and real estate fund 
investments, and direct private equity investments.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such 
cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based 
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Group’s assessment of the 
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement. In making the assessment, 
the Group considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
20. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
Fair value hierarchy for fair value measurement on a recurring basis (continued)
The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as at 
the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of 
Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. During the year 
ended 31 December 2025, the Group transferred US$2,647m (2024: US$5m) of assets measured at fair value from Level 
1 to Level 2. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are 
indicative of an active market. The Group transferred US$1,015m (2024: US$11m) of assets from Level 2 to Level 1 during 
the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Group’s Level 2 financial instruments include debt securities, equity shares, interests in investment funds, derivative 
financial instruments, investment contract liabilities and other liabilities. The fair values of Level 2 financial instruments 
are estimated using values obtained from private pricing services and brokers corroborated with internal review as 
necessary. When the quotes from private pricing services and brokers are not available, internal valuation techniques and 
inputs will be used to derive the fair value for the financial instruments.
The tables below set out a summary of changes in the Group’s Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a 
recurring basis for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024. The tables reflect gains and losses,

Movements in investment contract liabilities at fair value are offset by movements in the underlying portfolio of matching 
assets. Details of the movement in investment contract liabilities are provided in note 25.
Assets transferred out of Level 3 mainly relate to debt securities of which market-observable inputs became available 
during the year and were used in determining the fair value.
There are not any differences between the fair values on initial recognition and the amounts determined using valuation 
techniques since the models adopted are calibrated using initial transaction prices.

Significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements
As at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, the valuation techniques and applicable unobservable inputs used to 
measure the Group’s Level 3 financial instruments are summarised as follows:
Description

For certain equity shares, interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan notes held by the Group, management 
obtains values from independent professional valuers who use valuation techniques, such as the market approach, to 
determine the fair value. Under the market approach, the most relevant valuation multiples based on a number of factors, 
such as enterprise value to sales, or enterprise value to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and 
amortisation), are used to determine the fair value of the financial assets.
Fair value of the Group’s properties are determined based on appropriate valuation techniques which may consider among 
others income projection, value of comparable property and adjustments for factors such as size, location, quality and 
prospective use. These valuation inputs are deemed unobservable.
Valuation processes
The Group has the valuation policies, procedures and analyses in place to govern the valuation of financial assets required 
for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values. In determining the fair values of financial assets, the Group 
in general uses private pricing providers and, only in rare cases when third-party prices do not exist, will use prices derived 
from internal models. The Group Valuation Committee supports the Group Chief Financial Officer in relation to financial 
assets valuation for financial reporting. Under the oversight of the Group Valuation Committee, there is a reasonableness 
review of the prices used and price exceptions are reported, if any, from the business units’ Chief Investment Officer. Any 
changes in valuation policies are reviewed and approved by the Group Valuation Committee which is part of the Group’s 
wider financial risk governance processes. Changes in Level 2 and 3 fair values are analysed at each reporting date.
The main Level 3 input used by the Group pertains to the discount rate for the debt securities and investment contracts. 
The unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of these instruments include the obligor’s credit spread and/or the 
liquidity spread. A significant increase/(decrease) in any of the unobservable input may result in a significantly lower/
(higher) fair value measurement. The Group has subscriptions to private pricing services for gathering such information. 
If the information from private pricing services is not available, the Group uses the proxy pricing method based on 
internally-developed valuation inputs.

23. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Inputs, assumptions and techniques used for estimating impairment
Significant increase in credit risk
When determining whether the credit risk (i.e. risk of default) on a financial instrument has increased significantly since 
initial recognition, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without 
undue cost or effort. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis based on the Group’s 
experience, credit assessment performed by internal and external experts and forward-looking information.
The Group primarily identifies whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for an exposure by comparing the 
internal rating as at the reporting date with the internal rating as at the date of initial recognition of the exposure. Where 
external credit ratings are available, internal ratings are assigned consistent with such ratings in accordance with the 
Group’s credit risk assessment framework. Where external credit ratings are not readily available, an internal rating 
methodology has been adopted.
The Group monitors changes in credit risk by tracking the change in internal rating of the exposure. The Group also 
monitors relevant information, including price movements of securities, and assess whether such information signifies a 
change in credit risk.
The Group has assumed that the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if 
the financial asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk 
when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of “investment grade”. The Group considers 
this to be BBB- (Standard and Poor’s rating), BBB- (Fitch rating), Baa3 (Moody’s rating) or higher, which is equivalent to 
an internal rating of 4- or higher.
As a backstop, the Group considers that a significant increase in credit risk occurs no later than when an asset is more than 
30 days past due, unless there are other indications that there is no significant increase in credit risk. Days past due are 
determined by counting the number of days since the earliest elapsed due date in respect of which full payment has not 
been received. Due dates are determined after considering any grace period that might be available to the debtor.
Modified financial assets
The contractual terms of a financial asset may be modified for a number of reasons including changing market conditions 
and other factors not related to current or potential credit deterioration of the debtor. An existing financial asset whose 
terms have been modified may be derecognised and the renegotiated asset recognised as a new financial asset at fair 
value in accordance with the accounting policies in note 2.5.1.
When the terms of a financial asset are modified and the modification does not result in derecognition, the determination 
of significant increase in credit risk is assessed based on the change in internal rating as at the reporting date and the date 
of initial recognition. The internal rating as at the reporting date is rated based on the modified contractual terms while the 
initial rating is rated based on the original contractual terms.
Definition of default
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group 
in full, without recourse by the Group to mitigating actions. The criteria of “default” are consistent with those of 
“credit-impaired”.

23. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)
Inputs, assumptions and techniques used for estimating impairment (continued)
Incorporation of forward-looking information
The Group incorporates forward-looking information into both its assessment of whether the credit risk of a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition and its measurement of ECL. It formulates a “base case” 
view of the future direction of relevant economic variables and a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios 
based on management knowledge and consideration of a variety of external actual and forecast information. This process 
involves developing two or more additional economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome. 
External information includes economic data and forecasts published by governmental bodies and monetary authorities 
in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, supranational organisations, and selected private-sector and academic 
forecasters.
The base case represents a best estimate and the other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic 
outcomes.
The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and ECL for each portfolio of financial instruments and, 
using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationship between macroeconomic variables and key drivers of credit 
risk. The specific values of the core macroeconomic variable used by the Group for evaluating ECL for the years ended 31 
December 2025 and 31 December 2024 are as follows:
As at
31 December 
2025
As at
31 December 
2024
GDP growth (5-year average of year-over-year %)
  Base case scenario
2.6%
2.7%
  Upside scenario
3.1%
2.9%
  Downside scenario
1.7%
2.2%
Measurement of ECL
The key inputs into the measurement of ECL are the term structures of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) 
and exposure at default (EAD). They are calculated on a discounted cash flow basis using the effective interest rate as the 
discounting factor.
To determine lifetime and 12-month PDs, the Group leverages on the internal rating and convert it into PD based on the 
level of rating and obligor characteristics like industry type and country. Changes in the rating at the reporting date for a 
counterparty or exposure lead to a change in the estimate of the associated PD.
LGD is the magnitude of the likely loss if there is a default. The Group leverages on recovery statistics to calculate LGD. The 
LGD models consider a number of factors including among others, the structure, collateral and seniority of the claim, that 
are integral to the financial asset. LGD estimates are recalibrated for different economic scenarios.
PDs and LGDs are adjusted to reflect forward-looking information and different economic scenarios as described above.
EAD represents the expected exposure in the event of a default. The EAD of a financial asset is its gross carrying amount 
at the time of default. The Group derives the EAD from the current exposure to the counterparty, with any adjustments for 
changes to the current exposure, such as amortisation, and prepayments.

23. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)
Inputs, assumptions and techniques used for estimating impairment (continued)
Measurement of ECL (continued)
As described above, and subject to using a maximum of a 12-month PD for financial assets for which credit risk has not 
significantly increased, the Group measures ECL considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period 
(including any debtor’s extension options) over which it is exposed to credit risk.
Where modelling of a parameter is carried out on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped on the basis of 
shared risk characteristics, which include instrument type, credit risk gradings, collateral type, date of initial recognition, 
remaining term to maturity, industry and geographical location of debtor.
The groupings are subject to regular review to ensure that exposures within a particular group remain appropriately 
homogeneous. When ECL are measured using parameters based on collective modelling, a significant input into the 
measurement of ECL is the external information that the Group uses to derive the default rates of its portfolios.
Credit-impaired financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for impairment regularly. This requires 
the exercise of management judgement. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence 
that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is credit-impaired. Objective evidence that a financial asset, or a group 
of financial assets, is credit-impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about the following 
events:
•	
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
•	
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in payments;
•	
the restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not otherwise consider;
•	
it becomes probable that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
•	
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
A financial asset that has been renegotiated due to a deterioration in the debtor’s condition is usually considered to be 
credit-impaired unless there is evidence that the risk of not receiving contractual cash flows has reduced significantly and 
there are no other indicators of impairment.

24. INSURANCE CONTRACTS AND REINSURANCE CONTRACTS HELD
Movement in carrying amounts
The following reconciliations show how the net carrying amounts of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held 
changed during the year as a result of cash flows and amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement and 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Group presents a table separately analysing movements in the 
liabilities for remaining coverage and movements in the liabilities for incurred claims and reconciles these movements to 
the line items in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. A second 
reconciliation is presented for contracts not measured under the premium allocation approach, which separately analyses 
changes in the estimates of the present value of future cash flows, the risk adjustment for non-financial risk and the 
contractual service margin.
The estimates of the present value of future cash flows from insurance and reinsurance contract assets represent the 
Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk from these assets.

Fulfilment cash flows
Estimates of future cash flows
The Group’s objective in estimating future cash flows is to determine the expected value or probability-weighted mean of 
the full range of possible outcomes. The Group incorporates, in an unbiased way, all reasonable and supportable information 
that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date. This information includes both internal and external 
historical data about claims and other experience, updated to reflect current expectations of future events.
The estimates of future cash flows reflect the Group’s view of current conditions at the reporting date and the estimates 
of any relevant market variables are consistent with observable market prices.
When estimating future cash flows, the Group takes into account current expectations of future events that might affect 
those cash flows. However, expectations of future changes in legislation that would change or discharge a present 
obligation or create new obligations under existing contracts are not taken into account until the change in legislation is 
substantively enacted.
Cash flows are within the boundary of a contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the 
reporting period. They relate directly to the fulfilment of the contract, including those for which the Group has discretion 
over the amount or timing. These include payments to (or on behalf of) policyholders, insurance acquisition cash flows and 
other costs that are incurred in fulfilling contracts.
Insurance acquisition cash flows arise from the activities of selling, underwriting and starting a group of contracts that are 
directly attributable to the portfolio of contracts to which the group belongs. Other costs that are incurred in fulfilling the 
contracts include claims handling, maintenance and administration costs, and recurring commissions payable on 
instalment premiums receivable within the contract boundary.
Insurance acquisition cash flows and other costs that are incurred in fulfilling contracts comprise both direct costs and an 
allocation of fixed and variable overheads.
Methodology and assumptions
Mortality
Assumptions have been developed by each business unit based on their recent historical experience, and their expectations 
of current and expected future experience including mortality improvement. Where historical experience is not credible, 
reference has been made to pricing assumptions supplemented by market data, where available.
Mortality assumptions have been expressed as a percentage of either standard industry experience tables or, where 
experience is sufficiently credible, as a percentage of tables that have been developed internally by the Group.
Morbidity
Assumptions have been developed by each business unit based on their recent historical experience, and their expectations 
of current and expected future experience. Morbidity rate assumptions have been expressed as a percentage of standard 
industry experience tables or as expected claims ratios.
Persistency
Persistency covers the assumptions required, where relevant, for policy lapse (including surrender), premium persistency, 
premium holidays, partial withdrawals, policy loan take up and repayment and retirement rates for pension products.
Assumptions have been developed by each of the business units based on their recent historical experience, and their best 
estimate expectations of current and expected future experience. Persistency assumptions would vary by policy year and 
product type with different rates for regular and single premium products where appropriate.
Where experience for a particular product was not credible enough to allow any meaningful analysis to be performed, 
experience for similar products was used as a basis for future persistency experience assumptions.
In the case of surrenders, the valuation assumes that current surrender value bases will continue to apply in the future.

24. INSURANCE CONTRACTS AND REINSURANCE CONTRACTS HELD (continued)
Fulfilment cash flows (continued)
Methodology and assumptions (continued)
Expenses
The expense assumptions have been set based on the most recent expense analysis. The purpose of the expense analysis 
is to allocate total expenses between acquisition, maintenance and other activities, and then to allocate these acquisition 
and maintenance expenses that can be directly attributed to the portfolio of insurance contracts to derive unit cost 
assumptions.
Where the expenses associated with certain activities have been identified as being one-off, these expenses have been 
excluded from the expense analysis.
Expense assumptions have been determined for acquisition and maintenance activities that can be directly attributed to 
the portfolio of insurance contracts, split by product type, and unit costs expressed as a percentage of premiums, sum 
assured and an amount per policy. Where relevant, expense assumptions have been calculated per distribution channel.
Expense assumptions do not make allowance for any anticipated future expense savings as a result of any strategic 
initiatives aimed at improving policy administration and claims handling efficiency.
Assumptions for commission rates and other sales-related payments have been set in line with actual experience.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance assumptions have been developed by each business unit based on the reinsurance arrangements in-force as 
at the reporting date and the recent historical and expected future experience.
Policyholder dividends, profit sharing and interest crediting
The projected policyholder dividends, profit sharing and interest crediting assumptions set by each business unit reflect 
contractual and regulatory requirements, policyholders’ reasonable expectations (where clearly defined) and each 
business unit’s best estimate of future policies, strategies and operations consistent with the investment return 
assumptions.
Participating funds and other participating business with distinct portfolios surpluses have been assumed to be distributed 
between policyholders and shareholders via future final bonuses or at the end of the projection period so that there are no 
residual assets at the end of the projection period.
The assumed estimated crediting rates and participation percentages are generally based on the actual rates and 
percentages applied in the current year. The crediting rates applied vary between products and Group entities; in the 
current economic environment, the amounts credited are often determined by interest rate guarantees.

Methodology and assumptions (continued)
An adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to future cash flows
The Group adjusts the estimate of future cash flows to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to 
those cash flows. The cash flows are discounted by the discount rates to reflect the time value of money, the characteristics 
of the cash flows and the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts.
The top-down approach has been primarily adopted for the derivation of discount rates. A top-down approach starts with 
considering a yield curve that reflects the current market rates of return of a reference portfolio of assets that have similar 
characteristics of the insurance contracts, and adjust this downwards to eliminate any factors not relevant to the insurance 
contracts (primarily the allowance for credit risk). The assessment of credit risk premium is done on external and internal 
ratings when the reference portfolio contains assets which are locally rated. Alternatively, a bottom-up approach could be 
used under which discount rates are determined by adjusting the liquid risk-free yield curve to reflect the liquidity 
characteristics of the insurance contracts.
In constructing the discount rates, market observable rates are used up to the last available market data point which is 
reliable and also relevant in reflecting the characteristics of the insurance contracts. The market observable rates are 
extrapolated between this point and an ultimate forward rate derived using long-term estimates by applying generally 
accepted technique such as Smith-Wilson method etc.
The tables below set out the spot rates used to discount the cash flows of insurance contracts for major currencies. To 
reflect the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts, the risk-free spot rates are adjusted by an illiquidity premium.

For the insurance contracts with cash flows that vary based on the returns on any financial underlying items, the Group 
applies risk-neutral measurement techniques. Stochastic modelling is applied for insurance contracts with significant 
financial options and guarantees to estimate the expected present value. A large number of possible economic scenarios 
for market variables such as interest rates and equity returns are considered using risk-neutral approach and consistent 
with market observable price.

Risk adjustments for non-financial risk
Risk adjustments for non-financial risk are generally determined by considering the expected cash flows arising from 
insurance contracts in each segment for each of the geographical markets in which the Group operates, consistent with 
the way that non-financial risk is managed. Risk adjustments are determined separately from estimates from the present 
value of future cash flows, using the confidence level technique.
Applying a confidence level technique, the Group estimates the probability distribution of the expected present value of 
the future cash flows from insurance contracts at each reporting date and calculates the risk adjustment for non-financial 
risk as the excess of the value at risk at the 75th percentile (the target confidence level) over the expected present value 
of the future cash flows.
Contractual service margin
The CSM of a group of contracts is recognised as insurance revenue in each period based on the number of coverage units 
provided in the period, which is determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the services provided, its 
expected coverage period and time value of money.
For a group of contracts that is onerous at the start of a reporting period and becomes profitable subsequently that CSM 
is recognised during the reporting period, the total amount of recognised CSM is released to profit or loss if there are no 
more future coverage units.
Investment components
The Group identifies the investment component of an insurance contract by determining the amount that it would be 
required to repay to the policyholder in all circumstances, regardless of whether an insured event occurs. Investment 
components are excluded from insurance revenue and insurance service expenses. Generally, for relevant contracts, 
surrender value would be determined as an investment component.

(2024: US$212m and US$1m respectively). The amount of over-collateralised positions for derivative liabilities and repurchased agreements 
were US$(1,203)m and US$(938)m respectively (2024: US$(1,400)m and US$(1,688)m respectively).
The Group entered into enforceable master netting agreements for derivative transactions, as well as the repurchase 
agreements for debt instruments with various counterparties. Except for certain futures contracts executed through 
clearing house mechanism where the settlement arrangement satisfied the IFRS Accounting Standards netting criteria, 
the transactions under the enforceable master netting agreements and similar agreements involving the exchange of 
financial instruments or cash as collateral do not satisfy the IFRS Accounting Standards netting criteria. The provision in 
the master netting agreement and similar agreements enables a party to terminate transactions early and settle at a net 
amount if a default or termination event occurs.

Third-party interests in consolidated investment funds consist of third-party unit holders’ interests in consolidated 
investment funds which are reflected as a liability since they can be put back to the Group for cash.
Trade and other payables are generally expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. The 
realisation of third-party interests in investment funds cannot be predicted with accuracy since these represent the 
interests of third-party unit holders in consolidated investment funds held to back insurance and investment contract 
liabilities and are subject to market risk and the actions of third-party investors.

Notes:
(1)	 Ordinary shares have no nominal value and there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets to the holders of ordinary shares.
(2)	 During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company acquired a total of 291,862,200 ordinary shares (2024: 571,028,800 ordinary shares) on 
the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the aggregate cost amounting to approximately HK$17,810m (2024: HK$32,371m) (equivalent to 
approximately US$2,279m (2024: US$4,150m)). Of these shares, 291,862,200 shares were cancelled during the year (2024: 531,851,000 shares 
were cancelled during the year) and nil shares were in the process of share cancellation as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 39,177,800 shares were 
in the process of share cancellation as at 31 December 2024 and were cancelled subsequently).
The Company issued 5,084,930 shares under share option scheme (2024: 869,729 shares) and 868,334 shares under 
agency share purchase plan (2024: 877,146 shares) during the year ended 31 December 2025.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the employee share-based trusts purchased 11,559,976 shares (2024: 
5,466,874 shares) and sold nil shares (2024: nil). These purchases were made by the relevant scheme trustees on the 
Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE). These shares are held on trust for participants of the relevant schemes and therefore 
were not cancelled.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, 8,146,070 shares (2024: 5,358,937 shares) were transferred to eligible 
directors, officers and employees of the Group from the employee share-based trusts under share-based compensation 
plans as a result of vesting. As at 31 December 2025, 41,479,264 shares (2024: 38,065,355 shares) of the Company were 
held by the employee share-based trusts.
Reserves
Fair value reserve
The fair value reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of debt securities measured at fair value 
through other comprehensive income held at the end of the reporting period plus the related loss allowance recognised in 
profit or loss until the assets are derecognised.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign currency exchange differences arising from the translation 
of the financial statements of foreign operations.
Insurance finance reserve
The insurance finance reserve comprises the cumulative insurance finance income or expenses recognised in other 
comprehensive income.
Employee share-based trusts
Trusts have been established to acquire shares of the Company for distribution to participants in future periods through 
the share-based compensation plans. Where the Group is deemed to control the trusts, they are consolidated. Those 
shares acquired by the trusts, to the extent not transferred to the participants upon vesting, are reported as “Employee 
share-based trusts” and carried at cost.
Property revaluation reserve
Property revaluation reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the revalued amount of property held for own use at 
the end of the reporting period. Property revaluation surplus is not considered to be a realised profit available for distribution 
to shareholders.
Other reserves
Other reserves mainly include the impact of merger accounting for business combinations under common control, 
share-based compensation and the change in the fair value of hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges pending 
subsequent recognition in profit or loss.

33. GROUP CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Capital Management Approach
The Group’s capital management objectives focus on maintaining a strong capital base to support the development of its 
business, maintaining the ability to move capital freely among Group members and satisfying regulatory capital 
requirements at all times.
The Group’s capital management function oversees all capital-related activities of the Group and assists senior management 
in making capital decisions. The capital management function participates in decisions concerning asset-liability 
management, strategic asset allocation and ongoing solvency management. This includes ensuring capital considerations 
are paramount in the strategy and business planning processes and when determining AIA’s capacity to pay dividends to 
shareholders.
Group-wide Supervision Framework and the Local Capital Summation Method
The group supervisor is the Hong Kong Insurance Authority (HKIA) and the Group is in compliance with its group capital 
adequacy requirements.
The Insurance (Group Capital) Rules (GWS Capital Rules) set out the capital requirements and overall solvency position 
for the Group under the Group-wide Supervision (GWS) framework. These requirements are based on a “summation 
approach” and are referred to as the Local Capital Summation Method (LCSM). Under the LCSM, the eligible group capital 
resources and group capital requirements are calculated as the sum of the eligible capital resources and capital 
requirements for each entity within the Group according to the respective local regulatory requirements, subject to any 
variation considered necessary by the HKIA.
The group prescribed capital requirement (GPCR) is the sum of the prescribed capital requirements of each entity within 
the Group, and represents the level below which the HKIA may intervene on grounds of capital adequacy.
The Group LCSM coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of the eligible group capital resources to the GPCR and the Group 
LCSM surplus is defined as the excess of the eligible group capital resources over the GPCR.
The group minimum capital requirement (GMCR) is the sum of the minimum capital requirements of each entity within the 
Group.

At 31 December 2025, eligible group capital resources in the GWS framework included the following items, which are 
included within Tier 2 group capital:
(i)	 US$7,101m(3) of subordinated securities. Subordinated securities with a fixed maturity receive full capital credit up to 
the date that is 5 years prior to the date of maturity, with the capital credit then reducing at the rate of 20 per cent per 
annum until maturity. Subordinated securities with a maturity where principal repayment is subject to a lock-in clause 
are not subject to capital credit amortisation. Perpetual subordinated securities receive full capital credit unless they 
are redeemed; and
(ii)	US$4,415m(3) of senior notes issued before designation that have been approved by the HKIA as capital. Prior to 
maturity, the approved senior notes receive full capital credit until 14 May 2031, after which the capital credit reduces 
at the rate of 20 per cent per annum until 14 May 2036.
Notes:
(1)	 The Group LCSM coverage ratio is referred to as the “eligible group capital resources coverage ratio” in the GWS framework and is defined as the 
ratio of the eligible group capital resources to the GPCR.
(2)	 The Tier 1 group capital coverage ratio is defined in the GWS framework as the ratio of the Tier 1 group capital to the GMCR.
(3)	 The amounts represent the carrying value of medium-term notes and securities contributing to the eligible group capital resources.
Local Regulatory Solvency
The Group’s individual branches and subsidiaries are also subject to the supervision of government regulators in the 
jurisdictions in which those branches and subsidiaries and their parent entity operate and, in relation to subsidiaries, in 
which they are incorporated.
The Hong Kong Risk-based Capital (HKRBC) regime has become part of the Hong Kong Insurance Ordinance (HKIO) and 
has taken effect from 1 July 2024. The Group’s principal operating companies AIA Company Limited (AIA Co.) and AIA 
International Limited (AIA International), as authorised insurers in Hong Kong, are required by the HKIA to meet the 
solvency requirements under the HKRBC, including any HKIA-approved relaxation where applicable. During the years 
ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, both companies were in compliance with these solvency requirements.
Dividends, Remittances and Other Payments from Individual Branches and Subsidiaries
The ability of the Company to pay dividends to shareholders and to meet other obligations depends ultimately on dividends, 
remittances and other payments being received from its operating branches and subsidiaries, which are subject to 
contractual, regulatory and other limitations. The various regulators overseeing the individual branches and subsidiaries 
of the Group have the discretion to impose additional restrictions on the ability of those regulated branches and subsidiaries 
to make payment of dividends, remittances and other payments to AIA Co., including increasing the required margin of 
solvency that an operating unit must maintain. For example, capital may not be remitted without the consent from 
regulators for certain individual branches or subsidiaries of the Group.

34. RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management framework
AIA recognises the importance of sound risk management in every aspect of our business and for all our stakeholders. The 
Risk Management Framework (RMF) provides the structure for identifying, quantifying and mitigating risk across the 
Group. An effective RMF is essential to protect the company from material financial and reputational damage that arises 
from inadequate or ineffective control of the risks in the business.
Insurance risk
Insurance risk relates to changes in claims experience, business expenses, and the acquisition and persistency of insurance 
business. This also includes changes to assumptions regarding future experience for these risks.
The Group manages insurance risk concentration by diversification, reinsurance and establishing appropriate retention 
limits. For the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, there were no significant insurance concentration 
risks.
Pandemic and catastrophe risk
The Group is also exposed to morbidity and mortality risk related to a single event, namely pandemics, natural catastrophic 
events or human-made disasters.
Geographical concentration of insured individuals could increase the severity of this risk. However, the Group’s insured 
populations are geographically dispersed, thereby diversifying the exposure to pandemic and catastrophe risk. In addition, 
the Group limits its exposure to large claims arising from a catastrophe by purchasing reinsurance to cover losses due to 
a single catastrophic event exceeding a pre-determined level.
Climate change could increase the odds of pandemic and/or catastrophic events. Whilst the effect of climate change to 
AIA as a life and health insurer is expected to be relatively smaller than a general insurer, the Group will continue to evolve 
the climate scenario analysis, with the advancement of reliable data and methodologies, in evaluating the impacts of 
climate change to its portfolio.
Expense risk
Expense risk is the risk of greater than expected trends in, or sudden shocks to, the amount or timing of expenses incurred 
by the business.
Operations follow a disciplined budgeting and control process that allows for the management of expenses based on the 
Group’s very substantial experience within the markets in which we operate.
Morbidity and mortality risk
Morbidity and mortality risk is the risk that the incidence and/or amounts of medical, critical illness, disability, death or 
survival claims are higher than the assumptions made in pricing and/or reserving.
The Group adheres to well-defined market-oriented underwriting and claims guidelines and practices that have been 
developed based on extensive historical experience and with the assistance of professional reinsurers.
The Group’s actuarial teams conduct regular experience studies of all the insurance risk factors in its portfolio. These 
internal studies together with external data are used to identify the impact of emerging trends, such as medical technology, 
health and wellness, climate change and long COVID-19, which can then be used to inform product design, pricing, 
underwriting, claims management and reinsurance needs.
The Group limits its exposure to new risks and large claims on any single insured life by applying retention limits that vary 
by market and insurance benefit type to the amount of insurance coverage per insured. The exposure in excess of these 
limits is ceded to reinsurers.
Persistency (Lapse) risk
Persistency (Lapse) risk arises from policies lapsing or surrendering, on average, differently to that assumed in the pricing 
or reserving assumptions. Persistency risk is assessed as part of the product development process and monitored through 
regular experience studies.
Ensuring customers buy products that sustainably meet their needs is central to the Group’s Operating Philosophy. 
Through effective implementation of the Business Quality Framework, comprehensive sales training programmes and 
active monitoring of sales activities and persistency, the Group seeks to ensure that appropriate products are sold by 
qualified sales representatives and that standards of service consistently meet our customers’ needs.

Sensitivity analysis on insurance risk
The table below sets out the sensitivity analysis in respect of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held to key 
variables affecting insurance risk exposures. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. Information 
below presents the sensitivities both before and after risk mitigation by reinsurance, and illustrates the estimated impact 
on profits, CSM, total equity and comprehensive equity arising from a change in a single variable before taking into account 
the effects of taxation. The effects on these items are mainly as below:
•	
The effects on profit or loss are changes relating to CSM recognised for services provided, loss components and 
changes in insurance finance income or expenses that are recognised in profit or loss.
•	
The effects on CSM reflect the change of the corresponding insurance risks that impacts CSM.
•	
The effects on equity are the effects on profit or loss and the effects on other comprehensive income arising from 
changes in insurance finance income or expenses.
•	
The effects on comprehensive equity are the effects on shareholders’ equity and net CSM.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
34. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Investment and financial risks
Investment management objectives, policies and processes
The Group manages its financial investments in two distinct categories: unit-linked investments, and policyholder and 
shareholder investments. The investment risk in respect of unit-linked investments is generally borne by our customers, 
and the investment return gains or losses are largely offset by the changes in fair value of underlying items. Policyholder 
and shareholder investments include all financial investments other than unit-linked investments. The investment risk in 
respect of policyholder and shareholder investments is partially or wholly borne by the Group and directly affects the profit 
before tax.
Policyholder and shareholder investments are further categorised as participating funds, other participating business with 
distinct portfolios and other policyholder and shareholder.
The primary investment objectives of our policyholder and shareholder investments are generally designed to achieve 
optimal levels of risk-adjusted return for policyholders and shareholders over the long term, while preserving capital, 
maintaining adequate solvency and liquidity levels, meeting our risk management and asset-liability management 
objectives and ensuring full compliance with applicable regulations and internal policies.
The Group has comprehensive, integrated frameworks to ensure investments are properly authorised, monitored and 
managed within internal policies that address asset-liability management, financial and operational risks, whether assets 
are invested directly by the Group or through external investment managers. This framework consists of three elements: a 
strategic asset allocation framework; a tactical asset allocation process; and a combination of internal and external 
investment management for individual asset classes where appropriate.
The Group’s investment management function is empowered with decision-making authority and complies with exposure 
limits as defined in Risk Standards. Investment outcomes are closely monitored and compared with ongoing objectives 
with clear attribution and accountability.
Climate change, and the transition to net zero, create risks for the financial system. The Group recognises the potential 
investment losses due to climate risk in the long term and, as a result, it mandates the consideration of various 
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors, including climate change, in the bottom-up investment process 
applicable to its general account assets. The Group has developed internal ESG scoring methodologies to assess relevant 
ESG factors in potential and actual investee companies in relation to our directly managed general account assets and to 
assess external asset managers on their approach to both ESG engagement with investee companies and the assessment 
of ESG factors for investment decisions. The Group will continue to enhance its climate scenario analysis in assessing the 
impacts of climate change on its investment assets.
Asset-liability management
Asset-liability management for the Group is overseen by the Group Asset-Liability Committee and by asset-liability 
committees in each business unit. The Group manages its asset-liability risks in a variety of ways, including the strategic 
asset allocation process under which the strategic asset allocation in each entity and for major different product groups is 
governed, defining the asset allocation with consideration of the characteristics of the liabilities and related risks, capital 
and other requirements on both economic and regulatory bases. The Group manages asset-liability risks predominantly on 
an economic basis, while also considering the effect on all applicable regulatory solvency requirements and other 
considerations such as earnings. Asset-liability management actions include product pricing and product design, reviews 
of policyholder dividends, asset allocation, hedging using derivatives, reinsurance, and the management of discretionary 
policyholder benefits. The asset-liability risks for the Group are credit risk, credit spread risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, 
foreign exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. The exposures and sensitivity analysis are detailed below.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from third parties failing to meet their obligations to the Group when they fall due. Although the primary 
source of credit risk is the Group’s investment portfolio, such risk can also arise through reinsurance, hedging and treasury 
activities.
The Group’s credit risk management oversight process is governed centrally, but provides for decentralised management 
and accountability by our lines of defence. Fundamental to AIA’s credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled 
underwriting process. Credit risk limits are applied to control concentrations in individual exposures, sector and 
cross-border investments. A detailed analysis of each counterparty is performed and a rating is determined by the 
investment teams according to an internal rating framework. The Group’s Risk Management function manages the Group’s 
internal ratings framework and conducts periodic rating validations. Measuring and monitoring of credit risk is an ongoing 
process and is designed to enable early identification of emerging risk.

Measuring and monitoring of credit risk is an ongoing process and is designed to enable early identification of emerging 
risk. The Group’s processes for measuring expected credit losses include processes for initial approval, regular validation 
and back-testing of the models used, and incorporation of forward-looking information.
The Group monitors concentrations of credit arising from investment in debt securities by type, nature and rating as shown 
in note 18. Reinsurance is ceded across all geographical regions in which the Group operates. The Group does not have 
excessive credit risk with any single reinsurer.
The following table sets out information about the credit quality of reinsurance contract assets and financial assets not 
measured at FVTPL.

Credit spread risk
Credit spread movements affect both the value of assets and liabilities. Credit spread risk is in a large part managed 
through the strategic asset allocation process, whereby the two key drivers of spread risk – credit rating and spread 
duration – are managed for capital efficiency, taking into account both the economic risk and the local solvency capital 
considerations. The risk is monitored by the business units, with special attention paid to any issuers with credit ratings 
close to the lower boundary of investment grade.

34. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Investment and financial risks (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is primarily measured through the duration gap, which provides an understanding of the implications of 
interest rate movements on surplus. Since most markets do not have assets of sufficient tenor to match life insurance 
contract liabilities, an uncertainty arises around the reinvestment of maturing assets to match the Group’s insurance 
contract liabilities.
AIA manages interest rate risk primarily on an economic basis. Interest rate risk on the local solvency basis is also taken 
into consideration for business units where local solvency regimes deviate from the economic basis. Furthermore, AIA 
actively manages interest rate risk by extending asset duration, managing liability duration, repricing products, and 
implementing appropriate hedging programmes and reinsurance solutions where possible. For products with discretionary 
benefits, additional modelling of interest rate risk is performed to guide the determination of appropriate management 
actions. Management also takes into consideration the asymmetrical impact of interest rate movements when evaluating 
products with options and guarantees.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The table below summarises the nature of the interest rate risk associated with financial assets and financial liabilities. In 
preparing this analysis, fixed rate interest bearing instruments that mature or reprice within 12 months of the reporting 
date have been disclosed as variable rate instruments.

Equity risk
Equity risk arises from changes in the market value of equity shares, interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan 
notes. Investments in equity shares, interests in investment funds and exchangeable loan notes on a long-term basis are 
expected to align with policyholders’ reasonable expectations, provide diversification benefits and enhance risk adjusted 
returns. The extent of exposure to equities at any time is subject to the terms of the Group’s strategic asset allocations. 
Equity risk arising from the underlying items of participating contracts is generally borne by policyholders except to the 
extent of the Group’s share of the performance of the underlying items. The Group is also exposed to equity price risk from 
equity guarantees in variable contracts and hedges its exposure using equity derivatives.
Equity risk is managed through strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation. Equity investments are subject to 
benchmarks and controls relating to maximum concentration and tracking errors. Equity limits are also applied to contain 
concentration risk of individual stocks and sectors, liquidity as well as equity volatility. Equity exposures are included in 
the aggregate exposure reports on each individual counterparty to ensure concentrations are avoided.

Concentration risk
The greatest aggregate concentration of fair value to an individual issuer (excluding all government bonds) was less than 
3 per cent (2024: approximately 1 per cent) of the total equity and debt investments as at 31 December 2025.
Sensitivity analysis
Sensitivity analysis to the key variables, namely interest rate and equity risks, affecting insurance contracts and reinsurance 
contracts held, and financial instruments held by the Group is set out below. The carrying values of other financial assets 
are not subject to changes in response to movements in interest rates or equity prices. In calculating the sensitivity to 
changes in interest rates and equity prices, the Group has made assumptions about the corresponding impact of asset 
valuations on liabilities to policyholders. The market risk in respect of unit-linked investments is generally borne by our 
customers, and the investment return gains or losses are largely offset by the changes in fair value of underlying items. 
Policyholder and shareholder investments include all financial investments other than unit-linked investments.
Information is presented to illustrate the estimated impact on profits, total equity, allocated equity and CSM arising from a 
change in a single variable before taking into account the effects of taxation. The effects on these items are mainly as 
follows:
•	
The effects on profit or loss are changes relating to CSM recognised for services provided, loss components and 
changes in investment return, insurance finance income or expenses and foreign exchange differences that are 
recognised in profit or loss.
•	
The effects on equity are the effects on profit or loss, and the effects on other comprehensive income arising from net 
changes in net investment result and net insurance finance income or expenses.
•	
The effects on CSM reflects the change of the corresponding market risks that impacts CSM.
The impact of any impairments of financial assets has been ignored for the purpose of illustrating the sensitivity of profit 
before tax, total equity, allocated equity and CSM before the effects of taxation to changes in interest rates and equity 
prices on the grounds that default events reflect the characteristics of individual issuers.

Foreign exchange rate risk
The Group’s foreign exchange rate risk arises mainly from the Group’s operations in multiple markets in Asia and the 
translation of multiple currencies to the US dollar for financial reporting purposes. The balance sheet values of our 
operating units and subsidiaries are not hedged to the Group’s presentation currency, the US dollar.
Assets, liabilities and local regulatory and stress capital in each business unit are generally currency matched except for 
holdings of equities and other non-fixed income assets denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. 
Bonds denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are hedged with cross-currency swaps or foreign 
exchange forward contracts.

34. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Investment and financial risks (continued)
Liquidity risk
The Group defines liquidity risk as the risk of failure to meet current and future financial commitments as they fall due. This 
incorporates the risks arising from the timing mismatch of cash inflows and outflows in day-to-day operations, including 
policyholder and third-party payments, collateral requirements, as well as insufficient market liquidity of assets required 
for policyholder liabilities.
AIA manages liquidity risk in accordance with the Group’s Board approved liquidity framework. This framework contains 
the standards, procedures, and tools used by the Group to monitor and manage liquidity risk on a forward-looking basis in 
base and stressed conditions across multiple time horizons from daily to monthly time steps for 12-month period, as well 
as a projection in line with strategic planning. The forward-looking management of liquidity over short to longer-term 
horizons allows for the early detection of risks and enables management to action the pre-defined liquidity contingency 
plans. The framework is comprised of four pillars:
•	
Daily Cash Forecasting and Liquidity Adequacy Ratio;
•	
Structural Liquidity Adequacy Ratio;
•	
Liquidity Projection over the Strategic Planning Period; and
•	
Liquidity Management and Contingency Plans.
AIA supports its liquidity internally by maintaining appropriate pools of unencumbered high-quality liquid investment 
assets. Liquidity is further supported externally via access to committed credit facilities, use of bond repurchase markets 
and debt markets via the Group’s Global Medium-term Note and Securities Programme.
The Group’s liquidity framework builds liquidity resiliency in all our markets while providing central oversight and the 
ability to take timely management action if required to ensure we meet all our financial commitments as they fall due.
The maturity profile of our financial liabilities, insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract liabilities are 
presented below which provides a supplemental long-term view on the Group’s liquidity profile.

Transactions within the Group
Intra-group transactions are managed by respective business units to ensure compliance with applicable local regulations, 
and overseen by the relevant Group Office functions to ensure adherence with the relevant Group policies. The Group Risk 
function oversees and assesses material systematic intra-group transaction risks, and ensures risks assumed are managed 
within the Group’s Risk Management Framework.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, material intra-group transactions were mainly related to support services 
provided within the Group, a limited number of financing and reinsurance arrangements, and collective investment funds 
that provide a simple return of capital guarantee and are backed by investment grade fixed income assets.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
35. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Post-retirement benefit obligations
The Group operates a number of funded and unfunded post-retirement employee benefit schemes, whose members 
receive benefits on either a defined benefit basis (generally related to salary and length of service) or a defined contribution 
basis (generally related to the amount invested, investment return and annuity rates), the assets of which are generally 
held in separate trustee-administered funds. The defined benefit plans provide life and medical benefits for employees 
after retirement and a lump sum benefit on cessation of employment, and the defined contribution plans provide 
post-retirement pension benefits.
Defined benefit plans
The Group operates funded and unfunded defined benefit plans that provide life and medical benefits for participating 
employees after retirement and a lump sum benefit on cessation of employment. The locations covered by these plans 
include Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan 
(China) and Vietnam. The latest independent actuarial valuation of the plans was at 31 December 2025 and was prepared 
by credentialed actuaries of Towers Watson Hong Kong Limited. All the actuaries are qualified members of professional 
actuarial organisations to render the actuarial opinions.
For defined benefit plans, the costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the cost of 
providing benefits is charged to the consolidated income statement so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives 
of employees, in accordance with the advice of qualified actuaries. The obligation is measured as the present value of the 
estimated future cash outflows, using a discount rate based on market yields for high-quality corporate bonds that are 
denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms 
of the related liability. The resulting scheme surplus or deficit appears as an asset or liability in the consolidated statement 
of financial position.
The actuarial valuations indicate that the Group’s obligations under these defined benefit retirement plans are 41 per cent 
(2024: 43 per cent) covered by the plan assets held by the trustees. The fair value of plan assets as at year end at the date 
of valuation was US$111m (2024: US$101m). The total expenses relating to these plans recognised in the consolidated 
income statement was US$15m (2024: US$9m).
Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension plans. Once the 
contributions have been paid, the Group, as employer, does not have any further payment obligations. The Group’s 
contributions are charged to the consolidated income statement in the reporting period to which they relate and are 
included in employee benefit expenses. The total expense relating to these plans in the current year was US$160m (2024: 
US$145m). Employees and the employer are required to make monthly contributions equal to 1 per cent to 22 per cent of 
the employees’ monthly basic salaries, depending on years of service and subject to any applicable caps of monthly 
relevant income in different jurisdictions. For defined contribution pension plans with vesting conditions, any forfeited 
contributions by employers on behalf of employees who leave the scheme prior to vesting fully in such contributions are 
used by the employer to reduce any future contributions. The amount of forfeited contributions used to reduce the existing 
level of contributions is not material.

36. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation plans
The Group’s share-based compensation plans are equity-settled plans. Under equity-settled share-based compensation 
plan, the fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of shares and/or share options is recognised 
as an expense in profit or loss over the vesting period with a corresponding amount recorded in equity.
The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares and/or 
share options granted. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of shares and/or 
share options that are expected to be vested. At each period end, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares 
and/or share options that are expected to be vested. Any impact of the revision to original estimates is recognised in profit 
or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Where grants of share-based payment arrangements have graded 
vesting terms, each tranche is recognised as a separate grant, and therefore the fair value of each tranche is recognised 
over the applicable vesting period.
Where modification or cancellation of an equity-settled share-based compensation plan occurs, the grant date fair value 
continues to be recognised, together with any incremental value arising on the date of modification if non-market 
conditions are met.
During the year ended 31 December 2020, the 2010 Share Option (SO) Scheme, the 2010 Restricted Share Unit (RSU) 
Scheme and the 2011 Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) were terminated. There shall be no further grants under 
either of these schemes. However, these schemes shall remain in full force and effect for all grants prior to its termination, 
and the exercise and the vesting of these grants shall be subject to and in accordance with the terms on which they were 
granted under the provisions of each of these schemes, and the Listing Rules, where applicable. In the same year, the 
Group adopted the 2020 SO Scheme, the 2020 RSU Scheme and the 2020 ESPP Plan.
During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Group made further grants of SOs, RSUs and 
restricted stock purchase units (RSPUs) to certain directors, officers and employees of the Group under these schemes.
On 1 February 2021, the Company adopted the new 2021 Agency Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) with an effective period of 
10 years from the date of adoption. The 2012 ASPP was terminated with effect from 31 March 2021, after which time no 
further restricted stock subscription units (RSSUs) can be granted under such plan. The 2012 ASPP shall remain in full 
force and effect for all RSSUs granted prior to this termination, and the vesting of such RSSUs shall be subject to and in 
accordance with the terms on which they were granted under the provisions of the 2012 ASPP.
During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Group made further grants of RSSUs to eligible 
agents under the 2021 ASPP.
RSU Schemes
Under the RSU Schemes, the vesting of the granted RSUs is conditional upon the eligible participants remaining in 
employment with the Group during the respective vesting periods. Time-vesting RSU grants are vested either entirely after 
a specific period of time or in tranches over the vesting period during which, the eligible participants are required to 
remain in employment with the Group. For RSU grants that are vested in tranches, each vesting tranche is accounted for 
as a separate grant for the purposes of recognising the expense over the respective vesting period. For performance-vesting 
RSUs, performance conditions are also attached which include both market and non-market conditions. Performance-vesting 
RSUs subject to performance conditions are released to the participants at the end of the vesting period depending on the 
actual achievement of the performance conditions. During the vesting period, the participants are not entitled to dividends 
of the underlying shares. For RSUs granted in 2025 and onwards, dividend equivalent units equal in value to dividends will 
be credited in the form of share units on each dividend payment date during the vesting period. Except in jurisdictions 
where restrictions apply, the granted RSUs are expected to be settled in equity.

SO Schemes
The purpose of the SO Schemes is to align the participants’ interests with those of the Group through ownership of shares 
and the increase in value of shares from the date of grant onwards. SO grants are vested either entirely after a specific 
period of time or in tranches over the vesting period approximately three to five years, during which the eligible participants 
are required to remain in employment with the Group. For SO grants that are vested in tranches, each vesting tranche is 
accounted for as a separate grant for the purposes of recognising the expense over the respective vesting periods. The 
granted SOs expire 10 years from the date of grant and each SO entitles the eligible participant to subscribe for one 
ordinary share. Subject to restrictions in the applicable laws, regulations and rules of the relevant jurisdictions, the granted 
SOs are expected to be settled in equity.

ESPP
Under the ESPPs, eligible employees of the Group can purchase ordinary shares of the Company with qualified employee 
contributions and the Company will grant one matching RSPU to them at the end of the vesting period for each two shares 
purchased through the qualified employee contributions (contribution shares). Contribution shares are purchased from 
the open market. During the relevant vesting period, the eligible employees must hold the contribution shares purchased 
and remain employed by the Group in order to qualify to receive the matching shares upon the vesting of the matching 
RSPUs. The granted matching RSPUs are expected to be settled in equity. Under the 2020 ESPP, the level of qualified 
employee contribution is subject to a maximum amount equal to 10 per cent of the monthly base salary or HK$12,500 (or 
local currency equivalent) per month, whichever is lower. For the year ended 31 December 2025, eligible employees paid 
US$37m (2024: US$38m) to purchase 4,131,925 ordinary shares (2024: 5,243,069 ordinary shares) of the Company 
under the ESPPs.
ASPP
The structure of the ASPPs generally follows those of the ESPPs, the key difference is that the eligible agents are required 
to pay a subscription price of US$1 to subscribe for each new share in the Company at the end of the vesting period. Under 
the plans, eligible agents of the Group can purchase ordinary shares of the Company with qualified agent contributions 
and the Company will grant one matching RSSU to them at the end of the vesting period for each two shares purchased 
through the qualified agent contributions (agent contribution shares). Each RSSU entitles eligible agents to subscribe for 
one new share of the Company. Agent contribution shares are purchased from the open market. During the vesting period, 
the eligible agents must hold the contribution shares purchased and maintain their agent contracts with the Group in 
order to qualify to receive the matching shares upon the vesting of the matching RSSUs. The granted matching RSSUs are 
expected to be settled in equity. Under the 2021 ASPP, the level of qualified agent contribution is subject to a maximum 
amount of HK$12,500 (or local currency equivalent) per month respectively. For the year ended 31 December 2025, 
eligible agents paid US$27m (2024: US$24m) to purchase 3,092,002 ordinary shares (2024: 3,155,824 ordinary shares) 
of the Company under the ASPPs.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
36. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)
Valuation methodology
The Group utilises a binomial lattice model to calculate the fair value of the SO grants, involving a few significant 
assumptions such as the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility of 
the Company’s shares is estimated based on an analysis of historical data since they are traded in the HKSE. The expected 
dividend yield is estimated based on an analysis of historical dividend relative to historical share price. The risk-free 
interest rate is estimated based on implied yield of the Government Bonds and Exchange Fund Notes issued by the Hong 
Kong Monetary Authority as at the grant date. The analysis period for expected volatility and risk-free interest rate is 
consistent with the expected life of the SOs, which is derived from the output of the valuation model and is calculated 
based on an analysis of expected exercise behaviour of the Company’s employees.
The Group utilises a Monte-Carlo simulation model and/or discounted cash flow technique to calculate the fair value of the 
RSU, RSPU and RSSU grants, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the grants were made. Significant 
assumptions include expected dividend yield, assumed dividend payments and risk-free interest rate. The value of 
expected dividends during the vesting period is estimated based on an analysis of historical dividend relative to historical 
share price. For RSUs granted in 2025, the value of assumed dividend payments during the vesting period is estimated 
based on an analysis of historical dividend payout and the Group’s dividend policy. The risk-free interest rate is estimated 
based on implied yield of the Government Bonds and Exchange Fund Notes issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority 
as at the grant date. For performance-vesting RSUs, the simulation for achievement of market condition depends on 
assumptions of expected volatility of the Company’s shares and other market comparators as well as the correlations. 
These assumptions are estimated based on an analysis of historical data over a period consistent with the expected life of 
the RSUs.
Forfeitures prior to vesting are not allowed for in the valuation of the grants.
The fair values calculated for the grants are inherently subjective due to the assumptions made and the limitations of the 
models utilised.

The Group is subject to regulation in each of the geographical markets in which it operates from insurance, securities, 
capital markets, pension, data privacy and other regulators and is exposed to the risk of regulatory actions in response to 
perceived or actual non-compliance with regulations relating to suitability, sales or underwriting practices, claims 
payments and procedures, product design, disclosure, administration, denial or delay of benefits and breaches of fiduciary 
or other duties. The Group believes that these matters have been adequately provided for in these financial statements.
The Group is exposed to legal proceedings, complaints and other actions from its activities including those arising from

matters are adequately provided for in these financial statements.
The Group operates in many jurisdictions across Asia and in certain of those jurisdictions, the Group’s interpretation of the 
relevant law or regulation may differ from that of the tax authorities, which can result in disputes arising. The Group has 
made provisions to cover the potential tax implications, based on management’s judgement and best estimate in relation 
to the probability or likelihood of the potential outcomes, which is subject to periodic reassessment. Due to the uncertainty 
associated with these items, there remains a possibility that the final outcomes may differ on conclusion of the relevant 
tax matters at a future date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE SUPPLEMENTARY EMBEDDED VALUE 
INFORMATION AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AIA GROUP LIMITED
(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
Opinion
What we have audited
The Supplementary Embedded Value Information (the “EV Information”) of AIA Group Limited 
(the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which is set out on pages 316 to 342, 
comprises:
•	
the consolidated Embedded Value results as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025; 
and
•	
the sensitivity analysis, methodology, assumptions and other explanatory notes.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the EV Information of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 is 
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the EV basis of preparation set out in 
Sections 4 and 5 of the EV Information.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) as 
issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). Our responsibilities 
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
EV Information section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the “Code”), as applicable to audits of EV Information of public interest entities. We 
have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Preparation
We draw attention to Sections 4 and 5 of the EV Information, which describe the EV basis of 
preparation. As a result, the EV Information may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion 
is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Matter
The Group has prepared a separate set of consolidated financial statements as at and for the year 
ended 31 December 2025 in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the 
HKICPA and IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board, on which we issued a separate auditor’s report to the shareholders of the Company dated 
19 March 2026.
Other Information
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information 
comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the EV Information and 
our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the EV Information does not cover the other information and we do not express 
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the EV Information, our responsibility is to read the other 
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the EV Information or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of 
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

AIA Group Limited Annual Report 2025
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Responsibilities of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the EV Information
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the EV Information in 
accordance with the EV basis of preparation set out in Sections 4 and 5 of the EV Information, for 
determining the basis of preparation is acceptable in the circumstances, and for such internal 
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the EV Information 
that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the EV Information, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or 
to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s EV Information 
reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the EV Information
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the EV Information as a whole 
is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report 
that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. 
We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents 
of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or 
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users 
taken on the basis of this EV Information.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•	
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the EV Information, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control.
•	
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE SUPPLEMENTARY EMBEDDED VALUE INFORMATION
•	
Evaluate the appropriateness of the EV basis of preparation used and the reasonableness of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
•	
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the EV Information or, if such 
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
•	
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding 
the EV Information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an 
opinion on the EV Information. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of 
the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for 
our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the 
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant 
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with 
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all 
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

SUPPLEMENTARY EMBEDDED VALUE INFORMATION
1. SUMMARY
The Embedded Value (EV) is a measure of the value of shareholders’ interests in the earnings distributable from assets 
allocated to the in-force business after allowance for the aggregate risks in that business. AIA Group Limited (the 
“Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) use a traditional deterministic discounted cash flow 
methodology for determining its EV and value of new business (VONB) for all entities other than Tata AIA Life Insurance 
Company Limited (Tata AIA Life). This methodology makes an implicit overall level of allowance for risk including the cost 
of investment return guarantees and policyholder options, asset-liability mismatch risk, credit risk, the risk that actual 
experience in future years differs from that assumed, and the economic cost of capital, through the use of a risk discount 
rate. For Tata AIA Life, the Group uses the Indian Embedded Value (IEV) methodology as defined in Actuarial Practice 
Standard 10 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India, consistent with local practice in India.
The equity attributable to shareholders of the Company on the embedded value basis (EV Equity) is the total of EV, goodwill 
and other intangible assets attributable to shareholders of the Company, after allowing for taxes. More details on the EV 
results, methodology and assumptions are covered in later sections of this report.
On 6 June 2025, Hong Kong enacted the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (Minimum Tax for Multinational Enterprise Groups) 
Ordinance 2025 to implement Global Minimum Tax regime (GMT) developed as part of Pillar Two of the Base Erosion and 
Profit Shifting 2.0 (BEPS 2.0) initiative which became effective in Hong Kong from 1 January 2025, as described in note 11 
to the consolidated financial statements. For further details, please refer to Section 5.10 of this report which details the 
taxation methodology and assumptions for EV.
Unless otherwise stated, the growth rates provided in the commentaries are shown on a constant exchange rate (CER) 
basis, and the per-share information provided in the tables are based on the basic number of ordinary shares outstanding 
as at the specified point in time, as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

2. EMBEDDED VALUE RESULTS (continued)
2.6 Analysis of EV Movement (continued)
The opening EV Equity was US$71,626 million at 31 December 2024.
The opening EV was US$69,035 million at 31 December 2024 after removal of goodwill and other intangible assets of 
US$2,591 million.
EV operating profit was US$10,887 million (2024: US$10,025 million), reflecting VONB of US$5,516 million (2024: 
US$4,712 million), an expected return on EV of US$5,654 million (2024: US$5,628 million), operating experience variances 
and operating assumption changes with a net impact of US$305 million (2024: US$188 million), net of finance costs of 
US$588 million (2024: US$503 million).
The VONB is calculated at the point of sale for business written during the year. The expected return on EV is the expected 
change in the EV over the year plus the expected return on the VONB up to 31 December 2025. Operating experience 
variances reflect the impact on the ANW and VIF from differences between the actual experience over the year and that 
expected based on the operating assumptions.
The operating experience variances, net of tax, increased EV by US$165 million (2024: increased EV by US$160 million), 
driven by:
•	
Expense variances of US$12 million (2024: US$50 million), partly offset by development costs of US$10 million (2024: 
US$18 million);
•	
Mortality and morbidity claims variances of US$115 million (2024: US$(122) million); and
•	
Persistency and other variances of US$48 million (2024: US$250 million) which included persistency variances of 
US$(198) million (2024: US$16 million) and other variances including management actions of US$246 million (2024: 
US$234 million).
The effect of changes in operating assumptions during the year was an increase in EV of US$140 million (2024: an increase 
in EV of US$28 million).
The EV profit of US$10,653 million (2024: US$9,156 million) is the total of EV operating profit, investment return variances, 
the effect of changes in economic assumptions and other non-operating variances.
The investment return variances decreased EV by US$178 million (2024: decreased EV by US$113 million) driven by the 
effect of short-term fluctuations in interest rates, equities and other capital market movements, after allowing for 
consolidated reserving and capital requirements, compared with the expected returns.
The effect of changes in economic assumptions was an increase in EV of US$308 million (2024: an increase in EV of 
US$55 million).
Other non-operating variances decreased EV by US$364 million (2024: decreased EV by US$811 million) which mainly 
comprised negative impacts from the effect of acquisition, regulatory changes and non-operating expenses.
The Group paid total shareholder dividends of US$2,427 million (2024: US$2,328 million). The capital deployed for the 
share buy-back programmes, under which 292 million shares(1) (2024: 571 million shares) have been repurchased in the 
year of 2025, was US$2,279 million (2024: US$4,150 million). Other capital movements increased EV by US$26 million 
(2024: increased EV by US$20 million).
Foreign exchange movements increased EV by US$1,803 million (2024: decreased EV by US$1,110 million).
The closing EV was US$76,811 million at 31 December 2025.
The closing EV Equity was US$79,678 million as at 31 December 2025, after inclusion of goodwill and other intangible 
assets of US$2,867 million.
Our EV methodology deducts the value of the Group’s outstanding medium-term notes and securities(2) (MTNs) at amortised 
cost. If MTNs were included at fair value, EV Equity would increase by US$419 million to US$80,097 million (2024: increase 
by US$965 million).
Notes:
(1)	 Of these shares, 292 million shares were cancelled during 2025, and nil shares were in the process of share cancellation as at 31 December 2025 
as per note 31 to the consolidated financial statements.

3. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The EV as at 31 December 2025 and the VONB for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been recalculated to illustrate 
the sensitivity of the results to changes in certain central assumptions discussed in Section 5 of this report.
The sensitivities analysed were:
•	
Risk discount rates 200 basis points per annum higher than the central assumptions;
•	
Risk discount rates 200 basis points per annum lower than the central assumptions;
•	
Interest rates 50 basis points per annum higher than the central assumptions;
•	
Interest rates 50 basis points per annum lower than the central assumptions;
•	
Equity return, property return and risk discount rates 100 basis points per annum lower than the central assumptions;
•	
The presentation currency (as explained below) appreciated by 5 per cent;
•	
The presentation currency depreciated by 5 per cent;
•	
Lapse and premium discontinuance rates increased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 110 per cent of the central 
assumptions);
•	
Lapse and premium discontinuance rates decreased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 90 per cent of the central 
assumptions);
•	
Mortality/morbidity rates increased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 110 per cent of the central assumptions);
•	
Mortality/morbidity rates decreased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 90 per cent of the central assumptions);
•	
Maintenance expenses 10 per cent lower (i.e. 90 per cent of the central assumptions); and
•	
Expense inflation set to 0 per cent.
The EV as at 31 December 2025 has been further analysed for the following sensitivities:
•	
Equity prices increased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 110 per cent of the prices at 31 December 2025); and
•	
Equity prices decreased proportionally by 10 per cent (i.e. 90 per cent of the prices at 31 December 2025).
For the interest rate sensitivities, the investment return assumptions and the risk discount rates were changed by 50 basis 
points per annum; the projected bonus rates on participating business, the statutory reserving bases at 31 December 2025 
and the values of debt instruments and derivatives held at 31 December 2025 were changed to be consistent with the 
interest rate assumptions in the sensitivity analysis, while all the other assumptions were unchanged.
For the equity return, property return and risk discount rates sensitivity, the projected bonus rates on participating business 
were changed to be consistent with the equity return assumptions and property return assumptions in the sensitivity 
analysis, while all the other assumptions were unchanged.
As the Group operates in multiple geographical markets, the EV results for the Group are translated from multiple currencies 
to the US dollar which is the Group’s presentation currency. In order to provide sensitivity results for EV and VONB of the 
impact of foreign currency movements, a change of 5 per cent to the US dollar is included.
For the equity price sensitivities, the projected bonus rates on participating business and the values of equity securities 
and equity funds held at 31 December 2025 were changed to be consistent with the equity price assumptions in the 
sensitivity analysis, while all the other assumptions were unchanged.
For each of the remaining sensitivity analyses, the statutory reserving bases as at 31 December 2025 and the projected 
bonus rates on participating business were changed to be consistent with the sensitivity analysis assumptions, while all 
the other assumptions remain unchanged.

SUPPLEMENTARY EMBEDDED VALUE INFORMATION
4. METHODOLOGY (continued)
4.2 Embedded Value and Value of New Business
The Group uses a traditional deterministic discounted cash flow methodology for determining its EV and VONB for all 
entities other than Tata AIA Life. This methodology makes an implicit overall level of allowance for risk including the cost 
of investment return guarantees and policyholder options, asset-liability mismatch risk, credit risk, the risk that actual 
experience in future years differs from that assumed, and the economic cost of capital, through the use of a risk discount 
rate. Typically, the higher the risk discount rate, the greater the allowance for these factors. This is a common methodology 
used by life insurance companies in Asia currently.
The business included in the VIF and VONB calculations includes all life business written by the Business Units of the 
Group, plus other lines of business which may not be classified as life business but have similar characteristics. These 
include accident and health, group and pension businesses. The projected in-force business included in the VIF also 
incorporates expected renewals on short-term business with a term of one year or less.
The VONB is the present value, measured at the point of sale, of projected after-tax statutory profits emerging in the future 
from new business sold in the period less the cost of holding required capital in excess of regulatory reserves to support 
this business. The VONB for the Group is calculated based on assumptions applicable at the point of sale, after allowing for 
any acquisition expense overruns in excess of the relevant expense assumptions.
The EV is the sum of the ANW and VIF. The ANW is the market value of assets in excess of the assets backing the policy 
reserves and other liabilities of the life (and similar) business of the Group, plus the IFRS equity value of other activities, 
such as general insurance business, less the value of intangible assets. It excludes any amounts not attributable to 
shareholders of the Company. The market value of investment property and property held for own use that is used to 
determine the ANW is based on the fair value disclosed as per note 20 to the consolidated financial statements as at the 
valuation date.
The VIF is the present value of projected after-tax statutory profits by Business Units emerging in the future from the 
current in-force business less the cost arising from holding the required capital (CoC) to support the in-force business. CoC 
is calculated as the face value of the required capital as at the valuation date less the present value of the net-of-tax 
investment return on the shareholder assets backing required capital and the present value of projected releases from the 
assets backing the required capital. Where the required capital may be covered by policyholder assets such as surplus 
assets in a participating fund, there is no associated cost of capital included in the VIF or VONB.
EV Equity is the total of EV, goodwill and other intangible assets attributable to shareholders of the Company, after allowing 
for taxes.
A deduction has been made from the EV and VONB for the present value of future after-tax unallocated Group Office 
expenses, representing the expenses incurred by the Group Office which are not allocated to the Business Units. These 
unallocated Group Office expenses have been allocated to acquisition and maintenance activities, and a deduction made 
from the VONB and VIF respectively.
For Tata AIA Life, the Group uses the IEV methodology as defined in Actuarial Practice Standard 10 issued by the Institute 
of Actuaries of India, consistent with local practice in India. The EV and VONB reported for Tata AIA Life are reported on a 
one-quarter-lag basis.

4. METHODOLOGY (continued)
4.3 Definition of New Business
New business includes the sale of new contracts during the period, additional single premium payments on recurrent 
single premium contracts and increments to existing contracts where these are not variations allowed for in the calculation 
of the VIF. The VONB also includes the present value of cash flows associated with new policies written during the reporting 
period but subsequently terminated before the valuation date.
For group renewable business including group yearly renewable term business, new business is composed of new schemes 
set up during the period plus any premium payable on existing schemes that exceeds the prior year’s premiums. For 
individually significant group cases, the VONB is calculated over each premium rate guarantee period entered upon 
contract inception or renewal.
For short-term accident and health business with a term of one year or less, renewals of existing contracts are not 
considered new business, and the value of expected renewals on this business is included in the VIF.
For pension business, sales of new contracts during the period and any new contributions, including assets transferred in, 
are considered as new business for the calculation of the VONB.
New business volumes shown in this report are measured using annualised new premiums (ANP), which is an internal 
measure of new business sales.
4.4 Consolidation of Branches and Subsidiaries of AIA Co. and AIA International
The Company’s subsidiaries, AIA Co. and AIA International, are both Hong Kong-regulated entities and subject to the Hong 
Kong reserving and capital requirements. In addition, AIA International, which is incorporated in Bermuda, is subject to the 
Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) reserving and capital requirements. Since 2021, the Company is also subject to the 
group-wide supervision (GWS) requirements implemented by the Hong Kong Insurance Authority (HKIA). AIA operates in 
a number of territories as branches and subsidiaries of these entities. These regulatory and other consolidated reserving 
and capital requirements as determined by the Group apply in addition to the relevant local requirements applicable to our 
Business Units, and are discussed in Section 4.6 of this report.
The EV and VONB results for the Group shown in Section 2 of this report have been adjusted to reflect the consolidated 
reserving and capital requirements. This approach was taken to reflect the distribution of profits from AIA Co. and AIA 
International after allowing for the Hong Kong, BMA, local and group-wide regulatory requirements, and other reserving 
and capital requirements as determined by the Group. The EV and VONB for each Business Unit reflect the local reserving 
and capital requirements, as discussed in Section 4.6 of this report, before a Group-level adjustment to reflect the 
consolidated reserving and capital requirements.
4.5 Valuation of Future Statutory Losses
For certain lines of business, projected future statutory profits are negative due to the local statutory reserves being 
insufficient to meet the value of future policyholder cash flows. There are a number of acceptable methods for determining 
the value of a combination of positive and negative statutory profits for different lines of business.
For the purposes of this valuation, future projected statutory losses have been valued by discounting them at the risk 
discount rate for the relevant Business Unit, with any negative VIF eliminated for each reported segment by reducing the 
ANW. This has been done because the allowance for risk in the range of selected risk discount rates for each Business Unit 
has been set taking into account the presence of any such business lines with projected statutory losses. Also, the 
consolidated reserving and capital requirements have the effect of reducing the level of any future projected statutory 
losses. Based on the assumptions described in Section 5 of this report, and allowing for the consolidated statutory reserving 
and capital requirements, the overall projected annual distributable profits from the current in-force business and the 
assets backing the required capital of the Group are positive over the remaining lifetime of the business. Therefore, it is not 
considered necessary to change the discounting approach described above.

Capital Requirements on Consolidation
The Company’s subsidiaries, AIA Co. and AIA International, are both subject to the HKIA reserving and capital requirements 
under the Hong Kong Risk-based Capital (HKRBC) regime, which has become part of the Hong Kong Insurance Ordinance 
(HKIO) and has taken effect from 1 July 2024. Further, the branches of AIA Co. and AIA International hold required capital 
of no less than 100 per cent of the HKRBC capital requirement.
In addition, AIA International, which is incorporated in Bermuda, is subject to the BMA reserving and capital requirements. 
AIA International and its subsidiaries hold required capital of no less than 100 per cent of the BMA regulatory capital 
requirement.
The above regulatory reserving and capital requirements, and other consolidated reserving and capital requirements as 
determined by the Group, apply in addition to the relevant local requirements applicable to our Business Units.
The Company is also subject to the GWS capital adequacy rules, including group capital adequacy requirements based on 
the Local Capital Summation Method (LCSM), under which the Group’s published eligible group capital resources, group 
minimum capital requirement (GMCR) and group prescribed capital requirement (GPCR) are calculated as the sum of the 
eligible capital resources, minimum capital requirements and prescribed capital requirements for each entity within the 
Group according to the respective local regulatory requirements, subject to any variation considered necessary by the 
HKIA. This has not imposed any additional capital requirement to those mentioned above.

4.7 Foreign Exchange
The EV as at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 have been translated into the US dollar using exchange rates as 
at each valuation date. The VONB results shown in this report have been translated into the US dollar using the corresponding 
average exchange rates for each quarter. The other components of the EV profit shown in the analysis of EV movement 
have been translated using average exchange rates for the period.
Change on actual exchange rates (AER) is calculated based on the translated figures as described above. Change on 
constant exchange rates (CER) is calculated for all figures for the current year and for the prior year, using the current year 
constant average exchange rates, other than for EV and its components as at the end of the current year and as at the end 
of the prior year, which are translated using the CER as at the end of the current year.
4.8 Underlying Free Surplus Generation
The free surplus is defined as the ANW in excess of the required capital after reflecting the consolidated reserving and 
capital requirements and the adjustment for certain assets not eligible for regulatory capital purposes. The underlying free 
surplus generation represents free surplus generated from the in-force business, adjusted for certain non-recurring items, 
and before free surplus used to fund new business, unallocated Group Office expenses, finance costs, investment return 
variances and other non-operating items. The underlying free surplus generation is also calculated after reflecting the 
consolidated reserving and capital requirements.
5. ASSUMPTIONS
5.1 Introduction
This section summarises the assumptions used by the Group to determine the EV as at 31 December 2025 and the VONB 
for the year ended 31 December 2025 and highlights certain differences in assumptions between the EV as at 31 December 
2024 and the EV as at 31 December 2025.
5.2 Economic Assumptions
Investment Returns
The Group has set the assumed long-term future returns for fixed income assets to reflect its view of expected returns 
having regard to estimates of long-term forward rates from yields available on government bonds and current bond yields. 
In determining returns on fixed income assets, the Group allows for the risk of default, and this allowance varies by the 
credit rating of the underlying asset.
Where long-term views of investment return assumptions differ from current market yields on existing fixed income assets, 
an adjustment was made to make allowance for the current market yields. In these cases, in calculating the VIF, adjustments 
have been made to the investment return assumptions such that the investment returns on existing fixed income assets 
were set consistently with the current market yield on these assets for their expected remaining term, to be consistent with 
the valuation of the assets backing the policy liabilities.
The Group has set the equity return and property return assumptions by reference to the long-term return on 10-year 
government bonds, allowing for an internal assessment of risk premia that vary by asset class and by territory.
For each Business Unit, the non-linked portfolio is divided into a number of distinct product groups, and the returns for 
each of these product groups have been derived by considering current and future targeted asset allocations and associated 
investment returns for major asset classes.
For unit-linked business, fund growth assumptions have been determined based on actual asset mix within the funds at 
the valuation date and expected long-term returns for major asset classes.
For Tata AIA Life, the Group uses the IEV methodology as defined in Actuarial Practice Standard 10 issued by the Institute 
of Actuaries of India for determining its EV and VONB. This methodology uses investment returns and risk discount rates 
that reflect the market-derived government bond yield curve. Therefore, the risk discount rate and long-term investment 
returns are not provided for Tata AIA Life.

5.3 Persistency
Persistency covers the assumptions required, where relevant, for policy lapse (including surrender), premium persistency, 
premium holidays, partial withdrawals and retirement rates for pension products.
Assumptions have been developed by each of the Business Units based on their recent historical experience and expected 
future experience. Persistency assumptions vary by policy year and product type with different rates for regular and single 
premium products.
Where experience for a particular product was not credible enough to allow any meaningful analysis to be performed, 
experience for similar products was used as a basis for future persistency experience assumptions.
In the case of surrenders, the valuation assumes that current surrender value bases will continue to apply in the future.
5.4 Expenses
The expense assumptions have been set based on the most recent expense analysis. The purpose of the expense analysis 
is to allocate total expenses between acquisition and maintenance activities, and then to allocate these acquisition and 
maintenance expenses to various product categories to derive unit cost assumptions.
Where the expenses associated with certain activities have been identified as being one-off, these expenses have been 
excluded from the expense analysis.
Expense assumptions have been determined for acquisition and maintenance activities, split by product type, and unit 
costs expressed as a percentage of premiums, sum assured and an amount per policy. Where relevant, expense assumptions 
have been calculated per distribution channel.
Expense assumptions do not make allowance for any anticipated future expense savings as a result of any strategic 
initiatives aimed at improving policy administration and claims handling efficiency.
Assumptions for commission rates and other sales-related payments have been set in line with actual experience.
Group Office Expenses
Group Office expense assumptions have been set, after excluding non-operating expenses, based on actual acquisition 
and maintenance expenses in the year ended 31 December 2025. The Group Office acquisition expenses have been 
deducted from the VONB. The present value of the projected future Group Office maintenance expenses has been deducted 
from the Group EV. The maintenance expense assumptions in the VONB also allow for the allocation of Group Office 
expenses.

5.6 Mortality
Assumptions have been developed by each Business Unit based on their recent historical experience and expected future 
experience. Where historical experience is not credible, reference has been made to pricing assumptions supplemented by 
market data, where available.
Mortality assumptions have been expressed as a percentage of either standard industry experience tables or, where 
experience is sufficiently credible, as a percentage of tables that have been developed internally by the Group.
For annuity products that are exposed to longevity risk, an allowance has been made for expected future improvements in 
mortality; otherwise no allowance has been made for mortality improvements.
5.7 Morbidity
Assumptions have been developed by each Business Unit based on their recent historical experience and expected future 
experience. Morbidity rate assumptions have been expressed as a percentage of standard industry experience tables or as

SUPPLEMENTARY EMBEDDED VALUE INFORMATION
5. ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
5.8 Reinsurance
Reinsurance assumptions have been developed by each Business Unit based on the reinsurance arrangements in force as 
at the valuation date and the recent historical and expected future experience.
5.9 Policyholder Dividends, Profit Sharing and Interest Crediting
The projected policyholder dividends, profit sharing and interest crediting assumptions set by each Business Unit that 
have been used in calculating the EV results presented in this report, reflect contractual and regulatory requirements, 
policyholders’ reasonable expectations (where clearly defined) and each Business Unit’s expectation of future policies, 
strategies and operations consistent with the investment return assumptions used in the EV results.
Participating fund surpluses have been assumed to be distributed between policyholders and shareholders via future final 
bonuses or at the end of the projection period so that there are no residual assets at the end of the projection period.
5.10 Taxation
On 6 June 2025, Hong Kong enacted the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (Minimum Tax for Multinational Enterprise Groups) 
Ordinance 2025 to implement GMT developed as part of Pillar Two of BEPS 2.0 initiative which became effective in Hong 
Kong from 1 January 2025, as described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. The Embedded Value Results 
reflect the quantitative impact of the GMT top-up tax up to the end of the current reporting period. For the year ended 31 
December 2025, EV operating profit and UFSG are stated net of a notional GMT top-up tax of negative US$169 million, as 
estimated on an operating profit basis. The actual GMT top-up tax incurred by the Group in any period will differ from the 
operating top-up tax since it is based on net profit rather than operating profit. For the year ended 31 December 2025, total 
EV profit is stated net of the actual GMT top-up tax provision of negative US$54 million.
The potential impact of GMT top-up tax for future periods will depend on a number of factors, including the effective tax 
rates for future new business, future new business volumes and the jurisdiction where they are written as well as 
profitability and asset mix. In addition, the accounting treatment of deferred taxes is still evolving, as set out by the IASB 
under IAS 12, Income Taxes, requiring the mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of information 
about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Under IAS 12, the IASB states that it is difficult 
to reliably forecast the future period tax rates expected in the context of GMT top-up tax. This mandatory temporary 
exception aims to avoid the development of diverse interpretations of IAS 12 under the complex new tax legislation enacted 
in multiple jurisdictions in a short period of time. Given the mandatory temporary exception applicable under IAS 12, as 
well as the uncertainties around, and developing interpretations of, GMT top-up tax legislation in multiple jurisdictions, the 
Group has not reflected any potential future GMT top-up tax in the Group EV, VONB and projected future distributable 
earnings.
For taxation other than GMT top-up tax, the EV and VONB presented in this report are net of tax based on current taxation 
legislation. The projected corporate income tax payable in any year allows for the benefits arising from any tax loss carried 
forward where relevant. Where applicable, tax payable on investment income has been reflected in the projected investment 
returns. Any withholding tax payable on future remittances from local business units is also reflected under the appropriate 
operating segment.
