Commenting, Mark Tucker, Group Chief Executive said:
"All our businesses continued to grow strongly, with double-digit year-on-year
percentage sales gains across the board.
"JNL, our US business, has maintained healthy growth with total sales up 13 per
cent on 2004. Variable annuity sales are ahead 31 per cent from 2004 in what we
believe will be a flat market, with Perspective II being the second best-selling
VA product in the US in terms of net flows. At the nine month stage, market
share in variable annuities had risen to 3.5 per cent from 2.8 per cent at Q3
2004.
"In Asia, full year APE sales were up 23 per cent on 2004. Fourth quarter sales
of GBP219 million were 16 per cent ahead of the same quarter in 2004 which was,
in itself, a very strong quarter.
"In the UK and Europe, APE sales were GBP900 million, an increase of 10 per cent
on last year. Fourth quarter sales on an APE basis of GBP200 million were 26 per
cent ahead of the third quarter with a strong quarter for corporate pensions in
particular but also stronger bond and individual annuity sales.
"Both M&G and our Asian Fund Management business have grown their third party
funds under management strongly in 2005.
"M&G saw the strongest retail sales in its history with GBP3.8 billion of gross
inflows and significant increases in equity and property sales, while
maintaining its leading position in fixed income. Institutional sales were
GBP4.1 billion. Overall M&G saw net inflows of GBP3.9 billion, up from GBP2
billion in 2004.
"Our Japanese and Korean asset management businesses each saw net inflows of
more than GBP900 million. Total third party funds under management in Asia were
GBP10.1 billion, up 29 per cent on a comparable basis."
Commentary on Full Year 2005 New Business Results
UK and Europe Insurance Operations
Prudential UK and Europe finished 2005 strongly with fourth quarter APE sales up
26 per cent on the third quarter. APE sales for the full-year increased by 10
per cent on 2004 to GBP900 million.
Bulk annuity sales were a significant driver of growth, with APE sales of GBP203
million up 28 per cent on 2004. This included the Phoenix Life & Pensions
transaction announced in June 2005 which contributed GBP145 million to the
full-year result.
APE sales of individual annuities were up 2 per cent on 2004 at GBP222 million,
driven by strong sales through the Partnerships and Direct to Consumer channels
which increased by 114 per cent and 14 per cent respectively. Despite APE sales
of with-profit annuities through the Intermediaries channel increasing 100 per
cent year-on-year, total individual annuities sales through this channel
decreased 15 per cent reflecting the very competitive pricing environment
throughout much of the year. Prudential has maintained a leading position in the
annuities market and has reached agreement for an additional two new partnership
arrangements, which will start to generate new business sales in 2006.
Prudential launched a distribution partnership with Openwork in November under
which Openwork's 2,200 advisers will sell Prudential's range of conventional,
with-profits and impaired life annuities to their customers on an exclusive
basis. Openwork was previously known as Zurich Advice Network and was
re-launched as a new multi-tie distribution company in June 2005.
In December, Prudential and Royal London entered into an agreement under which
all pension annuities arising from vestings of policies written under the
Scottish Life brand in the period between January 2005 and December 2010 will be
reassured by Prudential as they come into payment. Scottish Life (a division of
Royal London) will continue to pay the annuitants with Prudential reimbursing
the annuity payments to Scottish Life. This arrangement supplements the
agreement reached between Prudential and Royal London in December 2004 in
relation to Scottish Life's in-payment annuities book.
APE sales of unit-linked bonds increased 31 per cent to GBP64 million,
reflecting Prudential's growing presence in the IFA unit-linked bond market.
This offset the year-on-year decrease in with-profit bond sales which fell 31
per cent.
Despite the contraction seen in the corporate pensions market earlier in the
year, there was an up-turn in corporate pensions APE sales in the fourth quarter
of 2005 which increased 94 per cent on the third quarter. APE sales for the
full-year increased 5 per cent on 2004, driven by 83 new scheme wins and by
Prudential's worksite marketing capability which led to a significant increase
in the number of new entrants to existing schemes.
Prudential UK and Europe has made a good start to 2006. Earlier this month,
Prudential reached agreement with Royal London to acquire the portfolio of
in-payment pension annuities that had been written primarily under the Royal
London brand, but which also included some annuities written under the Refuge
Assurance brand. Refuge Assurance was acquired by Royal London as part of the
United Assurance Group in 2001.
The book covers approximately 59,000 policies (weighted average age 66 with no
deferred annuities) with assets of around GBP650 million and will generate
premium income of around GBP65 million on an APE basis in 2006 (see Notes to
Editors for further details). This is the third in-force annuity book
acquisition Prudential has completed since December 2004, with combined assets
of over GBP3 billion.
Prudential UK & Europe will continue to pursue profitable opportunities in its
chosen product areas and distribution channels.
M&G
M&G delivered record gross fund inflows of GBP7.9 billion during 2005, an
increase of 35 per cent on the same period last year, reflecting the strengths
of its diversified product offering in the areas of retail fund management,
institutional fixed income, pooled life and pension funds, property and private
finance. Net fund inflows also grew significantly, almost doubling to GBP3.9
billion. External funds under management, which represent a quarter of M&G's
total funds, rose by 26 per cent to GBP36 billion.
M&G's gross retail fund inflows of GBP3.8 billion were its highest ever and
nearly double the previous year. Net retail fund inflows totalled GBP1.3
billion, more than triple those in 2004. In the UK, M&G significantly increased
its sales of equity funds on the back of strong fund performance, which saw 92
per cent of funds beating their sector average over three years. In addition,
M&G continued to see strong fund inflows into property and successfully
maintained its leading position in fixed income. M&G International, which sells
funds in Germany, Austria, Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland, continued to
experience very strong growth by more than tripling its funds under management
last year. In M&G's South African business, market leading products led to a
doubling of retail funds under management.
M&G's institutional business also saw strong growth in the areas of private
finance and property. In private finance, the leveraged loan business continued
to grow and in August M&G broke new ground with the launch of Europe's first
pure leveraged loan fund, the M&G European Loan Fund. During the year, M&G
continued the success of its Collateralised Debt Obligation programme with the
launch of five new CDOs in 2005. In property, the continued development of
external vehicles managed by Prudential Property Investment Managers (PruPIM)
for third party clients delivered strong fund inflows. Gross fund inflows across
M&G's institutional businesses totalled GBP4.1billion, with net fund inflows
growing 59 per cent to GBP2.5 billion.
Jackson National Life
Jackson National Life's (JNL) full year APE sales of GBP515 million represented
a 13 per cent increase on the 2004 result, driven by increased sales of variable
annuities, fixed index annuities and institutional product sales. Retail APE
sales for the year of GBP416 million were up 12 per cent on 2004.
JNL delivered record variable annuity sales during 2005 of GBP261 million, up 31
per cent on last year, reflecting JNL's clearly differentiated product
structure, distribution proposition and service offering. Total sales of
variable annuities exceeded $1 billion in each quarter of 2005, with sales in
each consecutive quarter surpassing the last. This result was achieved against a
flat variable annuity market through the first nine months of 2005 and reflects
JNL's continued success in product innovation and its relationship-based
distribution strategy.
For the first nine months of the year, JNL had a top five market position in
terms of variable annuity net flows and JNL's flagship unbundled annuity product
"Perspective II" was the second-best selling variable annuity product in the
market in terms of net flows. The rate of take up of the fixed account option
continued to decline, with only 20 per cent of the variable annuity premium
going into the fixed accounts compared with 29 per cent in 2004.
Fixed annuity APE sales of GBP79 million were down 31 per cent on 2004,
reflecting the continued low interest rates and flat yield curve in the US,
which have limited customers' demand for this product. JNL continues to pursue
profitable growth and hence has been unwilling to compromise entry spreads in
this market. JNL was ranked the tenth largest provider of fixed annuities during
the first nine months of 2005.
Fixed index annuity APE sales of GBP62 million were up 44 per cent on 2004,
reflecting customers' increasing preference for products with the potential for
higher returns linked to equity index performance. JNL has benefited from its
approach to educating broker dealers about a complex product; while at the same
time offering lower commissions and passing the benefit to the end consumer. JNL
was ranked the eighth largest provider of fixed index annuities for the first
nine months of 2005, improving from ninth for the full year 2004.
Life APE sales of GBP15 million were up 7 per cent on 2004. JNL substantially
completed the integration of Life Insurance Company of Georgia's operations at
the end of 2005, having converted 1.5 million policies onto its platform.
Curian Capital provides innovative fee based separately managed accounts and
continues to build a strong position with total assets under management at the
end of 2005 of $1.67 billion (GBP973 million) compared with $1.06 billion
(GBP615 million) at the start of 2005.
Institutional APE sales of GBP99 million were up 15 per cent on 2004. JNL took
advantage of attractive issuance opportunities as they have arisen during the
year, and will continue to participate in this market on an opportunistic basis.
In 2006, as the first of the Baby Boomer generation begins to turn 60, the
median retirement age in the US, Jackson is well positioned in the financial
advice distribution channels with product platforms that offer valuable
retirement income guarantees. We remain optimistic about the opportunities for
JNL in the US market.
Prudential Corporation Asia
Insurance Operations
Prudential's Asian life operations had a good fourth quarter in 2005 with APE
sales up 16 per cent compared to the same quarter in 2004 and 11 per cent
compared to third quarter in 2005. For the full year 2005 APE sales of GBP732
million represent an increase of 23 per cent compared to 2004 and reflect the
success of Prudential's dynamic business model in the region coupled with Asia's
inherent growth potential.
Prudential Asia's established markets of Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong
collectively delivered growth of 12 per cent for 2005 compared to 2004.
Singapore delivered a 26 per cent increase in APE sales driven by broadening of
its unit linked range and increased bank distribution. Prudential's Hong Kong
operation delivered a respectable growth of 7 per cent despite some market
softness, particularly in bank distribution. Prudential's Malaysian operation
saw growth of 6 per cent in 2005 with sales activity slowing in the second half
of the year as agents adjusted to new quotation requirements for linked
products.
In Taiwan, Prudential remains focused on writing profitable and capital
efficient business rather than pursuing pure volume. Although 2005 APE volumes
of GBP162 million were broadly in line with 2004 levels, the proportion of
linked business in the mix increased from 49 per cent in 2004 to 72 per cent for
2005 principally from the investment focused pension product launched earlier
this year.
The CITIC-Prudential joint venture in China continues to make excellent progress
as it extended its geographic coverage and ten cities are now operational. APE
sales of GBP25 million were up 47 per cent in 2005.
Prudential's Indian life joint venture, ICICI-Prudential Life, had another very
successful year with Prudential's 26 per cent share APE at GBP57 million up 63
per cent on 2004 driven by ongoing expansion. The business now has 74 branches
and has grown agent numbers by 36 per cent during the year to 70,000.
The multi-channel distribution model in Korea continues to perform strongly with
APE sales of GBP135 million, up 88 per cent, driven mainly by success in the
tied financial advisor and general agency channels and the continued appeal of
our universal life product.
In Indonesia, Prudential celebrated its 10th anniversary and has continued to
strengthen its position with APE sales of GBP46 million in the year, up 53 per
cent compared to 2004, driven principally by a doubling of agents during the
year to 22,000.
Prudential's other life operations in Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and
Vietnam collectively decreased by 13 per cent in 2005 to GBP41 million largely
due to Vietnam.
Fund Operations
Net third party inflows of GBP1.3 billion were up 3 per cent on 2004. Strong net
inflows in Japan of GBP905 million and Korea of GBP926 million were offset by
net outflows in Taiwan of GBP745 million where the bond fund market remains
unsettled. Prudential Asset Management has had considerable success in
increasing its proportion of equity funds in the flows with these representing
80 per cent of net inflows in 2005 compared to 22 per cent in 2004. This has
been driven principally by good equity fund performance, particularly in Korea
where all funds are in the top two quartiles.
Total third party funds under management were GBP10.1 billion, up 13 per cent on
2004. In August last year, ICICI increased its stake in Prudential's India asset
management joint venture from 45 per cent to 51 per cent. As a result,
Prudential no longer consolidates this business at 100 per cent and the year end
numbers are reported at 49 per cent, resulting in a GBP1.1 billion reduction in
funds under management for the year. On a comparable basis, full year 2005 funds
under management grew 29 per cent on 2004.
Prudential remains confident of its ability to grow its life and funds
management businesses strongly and profitably in Asia.

3. Prudential is initially providing reassurance to Royal London, which will
continue to pay the annuitants with Prudential reimbursing the annuity
payments to Royal London. During 2006, the intention is for these annuity
policies to transfer to Prudential, subject to legal and regulatory
approvals, at which point Prudential will take over direct responsibility
for the payment of all annuitants.

that are classified under IFRS4 "Insurance Contracts" as not containing

under IFRS4 or other financial instruments under IAS39.Contracts included in

UK and Europe Insurance Operations and Guaranteed Investment Contracts and
similar funding agreements written in US operations.
Investment products referred to in the tables are unit trust, mutual funds and
similar types of fund management arrangements.These are unrelated to insurance
products that are classified as "investment contracts" under IFRS4 , as
described above, although similar IFRS recognition principles apply to the
acquisition costs and fees attaching to this type of business.
