Are you looking to buy an insurance plan? Whether it is a variable universal life plan, a term insurance, or one with critical illness cover, it is always worth checking the provider that’s offering products in the market.

This article is going to discuss the 2019 Insurance Commission (IC) report. The report is all based from the financial statements filed by the companies for the year 2018. If you want a more updated ranking, see the latest insurance company ranking.

IC ranks them according to five categories:

• assets
• net income
• net worth
• paid-up capital
• premium income

In order to avoid bias, we have made a more consolidated ranking. Data is consolidated by arranging the companies from highest to lowest separately according to the five categories. The company with the highest number in the category is ranked number 1, the next company becomes number 2, and so on. Thus, it assumes that all categories are equal.
