Allianz plans to acquire majority stake in Income Insurance for $1.64b

This is also equivalent to a 51% majority stake in the SG-based insurer.

Allianz has announced its plan to acquire a majority stake in Singapore-based Income Insurance, pending regulatory approval. 

The offer, led by Allianz Europe B.V., proposes US$30.23 (S$40.58) per share, totalling approximately US$1.64b (S$2.2b) for 51% of Income Insurance.

This acquisition strengthens Allianz's presence in Singapore. Allianz currently operates in nearly 70 countries and reported an operating profit of €14.7b in 2023. 

“Asia holds great strategic importance for Allianz, and we are committed to investing in Singapore by partnering with a well-respected local institution. NTUC Enterprise Co-operative Ltd will continue to retain a substantial stake in Income Insurance, and together with Allianz, we will establish a highly competitive powerhouse focused on Life & Health and Property & Casualty insurance in Singapore,” Anusha Thavarajah, Regional Chief Executive Officer, Allianz Asia Pacific, said in a press release. 

“By integrating Income Insurance’s capabilities in distribution, partnerships, products, people and Allianz Group’s global and regional resources and expertise, we look forward to taking the insurance landscape of Singapore and Southeast Asia to the next level.” Thavarajah added.

(US$1.00 = S$1.34)

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
