According to the latest edition of Mutually Yours, the digital news service provided by the Association of Financial Mutuals (AFM), members of AFM saw their premium income soar to over GBP 1 billion during 2017. This, says the AFM, is an increase of over GBP 100 million in the year or an increase of 12.2%. The article shared in Mutually Yours shows this result to be all the more impressive when compared to the UK market as a whole which, according to Swiss Re, saw growth of just 2.4%.
Data from the AFM shared in the article shows growth in life and savings premiums over the year of 18.9%, whereas general insurance premiums rose 9.6%, and health and protection was up 11%. By contrast, says the AFM, the market as a whole rose 2% in life and 3.1% in non-life.
This means that, at the end of 2017, the share of AFM members’ premiums was:
- 54% health and protection
- 24% general
- 22% life and savings
