Japan's Dai-ichi Life could double investment target to at least $4 billion
TOKYO :Japan's Dai-ichi Life could double its strategic investment target to at least 600 billion yen ($4.17 billion) in its next medium-term management plan, the life insurer's CEO said, as the company looks to expand internationally. Dai-ichi expects to accelerate its overseas investments after it acquired 15 per cent of UK insurer and asset manager M&G for around 160 billion yen in May, CEO Tetsuya Kikuta told Reuters in an interview. The firm joins a host of Japanese financial institutions spending big on overseas acquisitions in search of growth as Japan's domestic market shrinks. British firm Legal & General announced a tie-up with Meiji Yasuda in February, while Deutsche Bank's investment arm DWS is in talks to form a joint venture with Japan's largest insurer Nippon Life in India, Reuters reported in May. Dai-ichi's current medium-term strategy, which runs for three years until March 2027, had targeted 300 billion yen for strategic investment. Besides the M&G stake, the company has also invested around 100 billion yen in Australian finance group Challenger and upped its stake in UK hedge fund Capula Investment Management. Dai-ichi's next strategy period is yet to be finalised but may run for four years, Kikuta said. ($1 = 143.9800 yen)
