SINGAPORE - German insurance provider Allianz is expecting a “double-digit return on investment over time” on its acquisition of Income Insurance, said its chief executive Oliver Baete on Aug 8.
“We are recycling the gains out of the US from selling in a sub-scale space to investing into scale in Asean,” Mr Baete said, adding that a majority stake in Income would propel Allianz “from zero to a leadership position in Singapore”. When asked about concerns in Singapore and how buying Income will enhance Allianz’s business, Mr Baete told analysts that there was already “a lot of local noise” on how Income’s purpose of serving the working class in Singapore will be fulfilled when the company first corporatised 2½ years ago.
He said Allianz will focus on containing cost inflation and making supplemental healthcare insurance affordable, adding: “We do not expect the acquisition to be derailed as we move forward”. “This is why we are in partnership with NTUC Enterprise. This is not a sell-out. They will be involved and they’ll make sure that the franchise and customer access are available to serve us.”
