Hong Kong, 20 August 2026 – The Board of AIA Group Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce the Group's financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. Growth rates are shown on a constant exchange rate basis unless otherwise stated:

 

 

 

 

 

"AIA has delivered another strong performance in the first half of 2026, with double-digit growth across our key financial metrics, while continuing to return substantial capital to shareholders. VONB reached a record high of US$3.2 billion with growth across all distribution channels, and all reportable segments excluding Thailand. The Group has achieved 17 per cent CAGR since the first half of 2023⁽³⁾, demonstrating consistently strong demand for AIA's professional advice and differentiated products.

 

"At the core of our unrivalled distribution platform is our market-leading Premier Agency. I am delighted that AIA has once again been ranked the number one Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) multinational company globally. We have held this position for a record 12 consecutive years and we have more than double the number of MDRT members of our nearest competitor. In the first half of 2026, our Premier Agency achieved strong VONB growth of 11 per cent excluding Thailand⁽¹⁾. Our extensive network of strategic distribution partners further expands our market reach and generated an 18 per cent increase in VONB, supported by very strong performance in both the bancassurance and independent financial adviser (IFA) and broker channels.

 

"Strong new business, together with disciplined management of our in-force portfolio, has supported sustained growth in recurring earnings with OPAT per share up by 13 per cent in the first half. As a result, we expect to exceed our 9 to 11 per cent OPAT per share CAGR target for 2023 to 2026⁽²⁾. UFSG, the Group's core measure of operating cash generation, increased by 10 per cent per share. After allowing for new business investment, net FSG increased by 12 per cent per share. In accordance with our prudent, sustainable and progressive dividend policy, the Board has declared a 10 per cent increase in the interim dividend to 53.90 Hong Kong cents per share. These achievements demonstrate that our financial strategy is working as intended.

 

"Asia remains the most compelling growth opportunity for life and health insurance. Powerful structural tailwinds across the region continue to create substantial demand for our professional advice and differentiated products and underpin the exceptional long-term prospects for AIA's business. I am confident that AIA's disciplined execution of our strategic priorities will continue to deliver long-term sustainable value for all our stakeholders."

 

 

AIA Singapore achieved a strong performance in 1H 2026.

 

AIA Singapore's market-leading premier agency channel continued to play a pivotal role in meeting customers' evolving wealth accumulation and protection needs, supported by an expanded distribution force and higher agent productivity. Continued investments in our distribution force, comprising the agency force and AIA Financial Advisers (AIA FA), have strengthened their capabilities through leading digital tools and continuous professional development, enabling them to provide trusted financial advice that address customers' evolving needs.

 

Our partnership distribution channel delivered strong growth, driven by sales of high-net-worth solutions across our partner network and supported by our differentiated wealth propositions, particularly through our strategic partnership with Citibank.

 

Additionally, AIA Singapore's corporate solutions business further strengthened its position as the nation's leading employee benefits insurer, by continuing to enhance access to quality healthcare for both employees and their dependants through a more convenient and seamless experience. This reflects our long-standing commitment to helping organisations build healthier, more resilient and future-ready workforces through innovative health and wellness solutions.

 

 

"AIA Singapore delivered a strong set of results in the first half of the year, with growth across Value of New Business, Annualised New Premium, Total Weighted Premium Income and Operating Profit After Tax.

 

"Building on this momentum, we once again exceeded our past performance and strengthened our position as Singapore's number one Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) company for the twelfth time. With one third of our insurance representatives achieving MDRT status, this milestone is a testament to their dedication and professionalism, and to the trusted advice they provide to help make a meaningful difference in the lives of Singaporeans.

 

"At the same time, our continued investments in Technology, Digital and Analytics (TDA) are transforming how we enable our insurance representatives to serve customers. Through our integrated suite of digital platforms, including iPOS+, iSMART+ and iRecruit+, we have further enhanced productivity and efficiency of our distribution force. Together with our all-in-one superapp for customers, AIA+, which has now surpassed 1.4 million registered users, these investments enable us to deliver a more seamless, connected and personalised customer experience.

 

"As customers' needs evolve, we continue to make quality healthcare more accessible, seamless and affordable. Through our partnerships with public and private healthcare providers, we are driving better quality of care and patient outcomes, while providing access to one of the most comprehensive networks of private panel doctors for our Integrated Shield Plan (IP) policyholders. These efforts reinforce our commitment to building a more connected healthcare ecosystem that gives customers greater peace of mind throughout their health journey.

 

"This year, as we mark our 95^th anniversary, we celebrate nearly a century of protecting Singaporeans while reaffirming our commitment to shaping Healthier, Longer, Better Lives for generations to come. Our strong track record reflects high-quality growth supported by disciplined execution, underpinned by the right strategy and our ability to consistently deliver tangible outcomes for our customers. This was recognised most recently through the International Life Insurer of the Year, Mobile App of the Year and Technology Excellence Initiative of the Year accolades at the Insurance Asia Awards 2026. From making protection more accessible and affordable through AIA Protect 3, to inspiring healthier lifestyles through partnerships with AIA HYROX Singapore and Rainforest Wild ASIA, our initiatives underscore AIA Singapore's enduring role in making a meaningful impact on individuals, communities and the nation's wellbeing.”
