Allianz<\/a> Group said on Friday it has agreed<\/a> to acquire HSBC’s Singapore life insurance unit for 2.7 billion Singapore dollars ($2.09 billion), expanding the company’s footprint in Asia’s life and health insurance market. <\/p>\n

The German insurer expects to generate a double-digit return on investment in the medium-term, and the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027. As part of the deal, Allianz will also enter a 15-year exclusive distribution partnership with HSBC Singapore to strengthen its ties in the region.<\/p>\n

Friday’s announcement underscores the German insurer’s push to expand in Singapore, where the company said the market is backed by strong fundamentals, including steady economic growth and robust regulation.<\/p>\n

Allianz aims “to support more individuals and communities even more comprehensively, with a broader product portfolio that helps protect and plan for what matters most to them,” said Renate Wagner, a member of the board of management.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, HSBC Life Singapore generated operating profit of 80 million euros ($91 million). <\/p>\n
