Prudential's Group Chief Executive, Jonathan Bloomer, commented: "All our businesses continue to show a healthy momentum, building on the strong performance we delivered in the first half of the year.
With its broad product range and diversified distribution channels, the UK insurance business is building on its strengths and is well positioned to win customers as the market concentrates towards financially strong companies.
Jackson National Life's 18 per cent increase in APE sales demonstrates that it has the products and distribution channels to succeed in the US market.

All our businesses are well positioned to take advantage of the clear opportunities in their respective markets."

UK and Europe Insurance Operations
Prudential UK and Europe has continued to deliver strong results. Sales for the first nine months of 2004 of GBP521 million on an annual premium equivalent (APE) basis were up 19 per cent on the corresponding period in 2003. This principally reflects strong sales of corporate pensions (up 13 per cent), individual annuities (up 20 per cent) and unit-linked and international with-profits bonds (up 108 per cent).
APE sales in the third quarter of 2004 of GBP161 million were up 29 per cent on the third quarter of 2003.
Intermediaries
APE sales for the nine month period through the intermediaries channel were GBP207 million, 20 per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2003. This reflects the sustained growth in sales of unit-linked and international with-profits bonds where APE sales of GBP52 million were up 108 per cent. APE sales of individual annuities were 42 per cent higher reflecting Prudential's position as one of the market leaders in this area.
Partnerships
APE sales through our partnerships channel were GBP67 million, up 168 per cent on the same period last year. Sales during the third quarter of GBP29 million were up 222 per cent on the third quarter of 2003. This result reflects the strong growth in sales of credit life protection products through our agreements with Lloyds TSB and Alliance & Leicester, and annuities through our partnership with Zurich. APE sales of credit life protection products during the third quarter of 2004 were up 26 per cent on the second quarter. APE individual annuity sales in the third quarter of 2004 increased 33 per cent on the second quarter. Annuity sales from the partnership agreement with Pearl, which was launched in September 2004, will be reflected in the fourth quarter's results.
Business to business
APE sales through the business to business channel for the nine month period were GBP155 million, 6 per cent higher than the same period last year. APE sales of corporate pensions were GBP114 million, 4 per cent higher than the corresponding period of 2003. APE sales of bulk annuities of GBP25 million increased by 32 per cent over the same period last year and comprised 51 scheme wins.
Direct to customer
APE sales through the direct to customer channel for the nine month period were down 9 per cent to GBP83 million, but sales during the third quarter of GBP18 million were in line with the third quarter of 2003. The focus of this channel has been primarily on selling annuities to vesting individual pension customers, an increasing proportion of which are now being transacted through IFAs. PruFund and PruHealth campaigns have recently been launched into this channel.
Product launches
Prudential UK recently launched PruFund, a more transparent smoothed investment product. Illustrations were available from the end of August and the product opened for new business in mid-September. Early signs of interest have been encouraging although it is too early to predict how sales will develop. In October, we launched PruHealth, an innovative UK health insurance product linking health and fitness to the cost of premiums. The product has been developed through our joint venture with Discovery of South Africa.
Persistency
In the interim results we reported a GBP15 million adverse persistency experience variance which arose from higher than expected surrenders of personal pension policies previously sold through the now closed direct sales force and also from Prudence Bond. Although Prudential is taking active steps to manage and improve the conservation of the in-force book, it is still seeing adverse experience on these policies and continues to monitor the position. In accordance with ABI guidelines for achieved profits accounting, the Board will review the success of the action taken and consider actual experience in setting assumptions for future experience at the year end.
Summary
In the UK, we believe we will be a clear beneficiary as the market concentrates towards those financially strong companies with a broad product range and diversified distribution strategy.
M&G
M&G recorded gross retail fund inflows of GBP1.2 billion in the first nine months of 2004, an increase of 36 per cent on the same period last year. Net retail fund inflows were GBP154 million. In the UK, M&G has continued to maintain solid fund inflows as a result of its strong retail brand, good fund performance and diversified product offering in fixed income, equities and, most recently, property. The success of M&G's focused expansion into European markets has been reflected in good sales in this area during the year.
Gross institutional fund inflows were GBP2.2 billion in the first nine months of the year, 5 per cent ahead of 2003. Net fund inflows were GBP463 million, a significant turnaround from the end of the first quarter when a single large redemption by a segregated fixed income client contributed to net outflows of GBP879 million. During the third quarter, M&G continued to progress its successful Collateralised Debt Obligation (CDO) programme with the launch of Ocelot, its first synthetic CDO. This reflects M&G's broadening expertise in this market and contributed GBP199 million to sales.
Jackson National Life
Total APE sales for the first nine months of GBP355 million were up 18 per cent on the same period in 2003. Total retail sales for the nine months of GBP2.6 billion were up 6 per cent on 2003, as a result of strong variable and equity-linked indexed annuity sales, partially offset by lower fixed annuity sales. Retail sales in the third quarter were GBP902 million up 22 per cent on the same period in 2003, the result of increased sales of fixed and equity-linked indexed annuities.
Variable annuities
Variable annuity sales of GBP1.5 billion were up 14 per cent on the first nine months of last year, reflecting consumers' confidence in the equity markets and JNL's strong product offering. JNL improved its market position to fourth at the end of the second quarter (in terms of net flow). Among the top 25 providers in the first six months of the year JNL's unbundled annuity product "Perspective II" was the best selling product (in terms of net flow) and its variable annuity net assets grew the fastest (Source VARDS). The rate of take up of the fixed account option remained low, with 28 per cent of the variable annuity premium going into fixed accounts compared with 53 per cent in 2003. Jackson continues to develop its product range: in October, it added several new investment and benefit options to its unbundled Perspective II product, which customers can actively select and pay for.
Fixed annuities
Fixed annuity sales of GBP848 million were down 17 per cent on the first nine months of last year, due to the continued low interest rate environment in the US and the resulting lower crediting rates that limit demand for this product. However, recent interest rate moves have generated more interest in fixed and equity-linked indexed annuity products. In the third quarter, fixed annuity sales were up 15 per cent on the previous quarter and up 55 per cent on third quarter 2003.
Equity-linked indexed annuities
Equity-linked indexed annuity sales for the first nine months of GBP293 million were up 80 per cent on last year, reflecting the attractiveness of the products and customers' increasing preference for fixed products with the potential for higher returns linked to equity index performance.
Life
Regular premium life sales of GBP19 million for the first nine months were up 90 per cent on last year. This is the result of JNL's increased focus on its life business, including the introduction of several new products, such as variable universal life and the creation last year of a dedicated distribution team to focus on building relationships with life insurance agents.
Curian Capital
Curian Capital continues to build a strong position in the managed accounts market, with total assets under management at the end of the period of GBP432 million up from GBP147 million at the year end.
Institutional
Institutional sales for the first nine months of GBP730 million were up 66 per cent on 2003. As we reported in our half year results JNL took advantage of several attractive opportunities in the first half of 2004 but intends to focus on retail sales for the rest of the year. Consistent with this, institutional sales in the third quarter were GBP129 million, down 55 per cent on the previous quarter. JNL remains on track to deliver institutional sales of around GBP225 million for the second half of the year.
Summary
JNL is well positioned to maintain its strong growth and as reported in our half year results we expect it to return $120 million cash to the Group this year and in future years.
Prudential Corporation Asia
Prudential's Asian operations showed strong momentum during the third quarter, with sales improving month on month. Overall APE sales of GBP145 million represented growth of 20 per cent over the second quarter. APE sales of GBP394 million for the nine months are up 12 per cent on last year, up 21 per cent excluding discontinued sales in Japan.
Single premium products continue to be popular and while our primary focus remains on more profitable regular premium business, the proportion of single premium sales in the APE mix has increased to 12 per cent for the first nine months compared with 8 per cent for the full year 2003.
Following slower starts to 2004, both Malaysia and Taiwan have seen strong growth during the third quarter relative to the second, with increases of 36 per cent and 45 per cent respectively, driven principally by planned sales incentives and the successful launch of an innovative unit-linked product in Taiwan. Singapore recorded its strongest quarter of 2004 so far with a 20 per cent increase over the second quarter. Single premium unit-linked sales were particularly strong.
In Hong Kong, APE sales growth remains strong, increasing by 16 per cent for the first nine months of the year. However, the third quarter was slightly lower than the second due to the market's current preference for short-term traditional endowment policies and our strategy to manage our exposure to these less profitable products. Nevertheless, sales of single premium products, principally through bancassurance, grew 36 per cent for the first nine months, compared with the same period last year.
The life operation in Korea continued to show very strong growth in the first nine months of the year. However, this growth rate eased slightly in the third quarter with increasing volumes from the financial consultant and general agent channels offset by slower bancassurance sales as one of our partners recovers from the effects of industrial action. Korea also experienced increased competition in the direct channel.
In India, where we have a joint venture with ICICI Bank, growth in APE sales continues to be strong, increasing 140 per cent on 2003 for the first nine months. The growth rate did slow in the third quarter with a 17 per cent increase on the second quarter. Recently the industry has seen a slow down in new business growth, in part due to the introduction of the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme announced in the budget having a temporary impact.
Sales in China for the first nine months of the year are up 71 per cent compared with last year. We have been operating in Guangzhou for four years, and have a 14 per cent share of new business sales through the agency channel on an APE basis. We launched in Beijing in August 2003, and in Suzhou this September.
Sales in Indonesia in the third quarter were 33 per cent ahead of the previous quarter. Our business in Indonesia recovered from the effects of a court imposed administration period resulting from attempts to put the company into bankruptcy despite the business clearly being solvent. The bankruptcy decision has been overturned by the Indonesian Supreme Court. A bill to amend the bankruptcy law in Indonesia to prevent similar attempts has now been passed by the parliament and is awaiting Presidential notification.
In the third quarter of 2003, we implemented our new strategy in Japan to focus on more profitable product lines such as variable universal life and to improve our distribution. New business volumes this year have been slow, but we are starting to see some progress, which we continue to monitor. The third quarter 2004 was up 38 per cent compared with the second quarter.
Growth in Prudential's "Other" Asian operations slowed over the first nine months, mainly due to the impact of the Vietnamese market, which has seen a significant slowdown in growth rate after four years of strong sales following liberalisation of the market.
The Asian retail investment management business had GBP6.8 billion of funds under management at 30 September, with net inflows of GBP0.3 billion for the first nine months of the year. The net inflows were depressed by GBP767 million of net outflows in Taiwan in the third quarter following market concern about the liquidity of bond funds across the industry. The balance of the retail investment operations of Prudential Corporation Asia continue to record strong net inflows, with particularly strong growth in Korea and Japan.
Summary
The sales momentum seen in the third quarter positions our Asian business well for a strong fourth quarter, in line with market expectations. We remain confident that the profitable growth being delivered in Asia is sustainable over the long-term and the business remains on track to begin remitting surplus capital to the group in 2006.
Prudential is hosting an analyst and investor visit to Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City in the first week of November, when we will talk in more detail about our strategy, operations, products and distribution channels across the region.

Annual premium equivalent (APE) sales comprise regular premium sales plus one-tenth of single premium insurance sales.
Certain investment mandates previously reported as UK corporate pensions are now reported as M&G institutional investment flows. The impact is to reduce UK corporate pensions APE sales by GBP32 million for the full-year 2003 (GBP26 million for the first nine months of 2003).
US institutional products (previously referred to as "stable value products") consist of guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), funding agreements and medium-term notes backed by funding agreements.

Notes to Schedules :
(1) Insurance and investment new business for overseas operations has been calculated using constant exchange rates. The applicable rate for Jackson National Life is 1.82. A comparison between the results at actual exchange rates and at constant exchange rates is given in the press release.
(1b)Insurance and investment new business for overseas operations has been calculated using average exchange rates. The applicable rate for Jackson National Life is 1.82 (2003 -- 1.61).
(2) Represents cash received from sale of investment products.
(3) Annual Equivalents, calculated as regular new business contributions + 10% single new business contributions, are subject to roundings.
(4) Certain investment mandates previously reported as UK Corporate Pensions in 2003 are now reported as M&G institutional funds under management. The impact of this is to reduce UK Corporate pensions APE sales by GBP32 million for the full year 2003 (GBP26 million for the first nine months of 2003).
(5) In Asia, 'Other' insurance operations include Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam.
(6) Scottish Amicable and Prudential branded Investment Products.
(7) Balance includes segregated pensions fund business, private finance flows and M&G South Africa institutional business. M&G institutional funds under management for Q2 2003 have been restated to include funds managed on behalf of the Prudential Staff Pension Scheme previously categorised as internal funds. Other movements reflect the net flows arising from the cash portion of a tactical asset allocation fund managed in South Africa.
(8) Mandatory Provident Fund product sales in Hong Kong are included at Prudential's 36% interest in the Hong Kong MPF operation.
(9) Balance sheet figures have been calculated at closing exchange rates.
(10) Sales are converted using the year to date average exchange rate applicable at the time. The sterling results for individual quarters represent the difference between the year to date reported sterling results at successive quarters and will include foreign exchange movements from earlier periods.
