Abstract

Pension funds are investment vehicles that receive contributions from employer, staff, or both during the working life of workers to provide them with potential pension income. Despite these plans, seniors must face a tremendous burden, because the only way they can compensate for their old age is by saving for retirement during their working life. Hence, given that employees' life expectancies are uncertain, it would be hard to know how much they should save for retirement. Therefore, this research identifies that the pension funds are thus able to resolve these risks by delivering lifetime annuities in exchange for contributions made during working years. In this paper, we will examine the factors that influence the financial performance of ten major life insurance and pension funds companies during the period 2013 to 2018 using regression analysis to study the significance of these factors. The life insurance and pension fund companies are Allianz General Insurance Berhad, Tokio Marine Life Insurance Bhd, Great Eastern General Insurance Berhad, RHB Insurance Berhad, Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad, AIA Berhad, AXA Affin Life Insurance Berhad, Manulife Insurance Berhad, Chubb Insurance Berhad and Hong Leong Assurance Berhad. Data is derived from the financial statements of the respective companies to determine cash ratio, size of the company, return on assets, debt-to - equity ratio, and return on equity, inflation and economic growth. Consequently, net income is used as the proxy data to assess a firm's financial performance. Therefore, this analysis will use and predict the data collected to assess the profitability of the respective businesses.
