Prudential PLC
Prudential PLC is a life and health insurer focused on Asia and Africa. It sells protection plans, savings policies, retirement products, and investment-linked insurance to individuals and families, often through agents, banks, and other distribution partners. Its customers are mainly middle-income savers and people looking for long-term financial protection. The company makes money mostly from premiums and policy fees, plus income earned on the money it holds and invests for policyholders. In some businesses it also earns asset management and administration fees. This makes Prudential different from a simple one-time product seller: it collects long-term streams of cash tied to insurance contracts and investment balances. Prudential’s role in the financial system is to turn customer premiums into long-duration promises, then manage those obligations through underwriting, investing, and claims handling. That business model depends on trust, careful risk control, and local distribution relationships in markets where private insurance and retirement savings are still growing.
