Nippon Life is operating life insurance and asset management businesses in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, and is the largest private asset owner in Japan. We are advancing its Group business strategy, aiming to increase its policyholder interests by expanding earnings over the long term.

Specifically, in our core life insurance business, we will continue cultivating the domestic market, which is expected to show ongoing stable growth. Our sales team has almost 50,000 members nationwide, and we aim to improve our face-to-face consulting capabilities through the growth of each sales representative's ability, so that we can continue to provide our customers with products, services and after-sales support when they need it across the long term. We are also pursuing new initiatives that utilize digital technologies to provide products and services to customers we have been unable to reach in person.

In the meantime, we operate life insurance business in seven countries outside of Japan, including the U.S., Australia, India, Myanmar, China, Thailand and Indonesia. By providing products and services in various countries, we contribute to the popularization of life insurance and development of the life insurance market.
