Overview of Global Life portfolio
Focus on new performance measurement metrics – Profit by Source
Focus on new performance measurement metrics – In-force Management
In-force manager global role established
...implement best practices globally
...improve internal reporting of in-force
management for better decision making
and early warning
...maximize the value of the in-force
business
...support and drive the business to achieve
its targets
Policyholder cash flows are not created
equal
Product structures drive the cash and BOP profiles Some legacy products (particularly in the UK) were designed to extract fees and profits in the early years
Focus on retention of profitable business
Understanding of the product life cycle is key to control persistency (i.e. when surrender charges expire)
Persistency
Most metrics already anticipate maturities so outflows do not impact the result, however… Maturity outflows do represent a potential recapture opportunity
Maturity recapture

Market drivers
Conversion programs can be used to prevent outflows where industry circumstances change (e.g. tax rules)
Development of Assets under
Management

1 Assets under Management (AuM) comprise the Group and unit-linked investments that are included in the Global Life balance sheet plus
assets that are managed by third parties, for which we earn fees.
2 Other includes dividends, charges levied on Assets under Management, and other changes in invested assets.
Net flows were positive in Q1-09. AuM decreased due to currency
