Great Eastern's profit surged to $1.16b in 2017

This was driven by a higher profit from its insurance business.

Great Eastern Holdings Limited reported that its profit ballooned by 96% YoY from $589.3m to $1.16b in 2017.

According to its financial statement, this was due to higher profit from its insurance business, rising by 72% YoY to $899.9m.

The increase was also boosted by gains from investments sales due to favourable market conditions, and changes in fair value, Great Eastern said.

Profit from shareholders’ fund’s investments also went up to $434.7m, which was driven by higher sales of investments compared to the previous year.

Further, the company’s expenses rose by 14% YoY to $117.2m, from $103.2m in the previous year, whilst fees and other income increased to $88.5m.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
