Japan’s Nippon Life is to acquire Resolution Life in a deal valued at $8.2bn.
The acquisition underscores Nippon Life’s ambition to expand its operations in the United States, the world’s largest insurance market, as it navigates a maturing domestic market.
By acquiring Resolution Life, Nippon Life gains access to a significant portfolio of life insurance policies and annuity products, which are expected to generate steady returns in a more dynamic overseas market.
“This acquisition is a landmark moment for Nippon Life as we aim to enhance our long-term growth prospects by leveraging the strengths of Resolution Life’s established operations in the US,” said Hiroshi Shimizu, President of Nippon Life.
