Sun Life Grepa Sustains Momentum, Emerges Among Fastest- Growing Life Insurers in Q1 2026

　　Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa) continues to build on its strong  performance, posting solid gains across key metrics in the first quarter of 2026. The results  reinforce momentum established at the close of 2025 and highlight the impact of its  expanded distribution strategy and strengthened bancassurance operations.  

　　The company now ranks 7th in Total Premium Income (TPI) and 5th in New Business Annual  Premium Equivalent Income (NBAPE)， outpacing industry averages in both revenue growth  and new business generation. 

　　Sun Life Grepa recorded a 79% year-on-year increase in total premium income, a  significant jump that reflects the combined strength of its affinity marketing and  bancassurance channels. Both have continued to broaden the company’s client reach  across the country, extending access to more Filipinos at more income levels than before.  This performance follows a strong finish in late 2025, when the company was recognized as  the fastest-growing life insurer in the industry. 

　　New business growth was even more pronounced. NBAPE surged 160% year-on-year, the  company’s strongest showing in this category to date. The result points to something  beyond retention: Sun Life Grepa is actively drawing in new clients, particularly in segments  that have historically had limited access to life insurance。

　　FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

　　Two key drivers fueled this expansion. The deepening partnership with a strategic affinity  partner has enabled wider reach into underserved communities, bringing meaningful  financial protection to those who need it most. At the same time, the continued alignment  of bancassurance programs with its partner bank has deepened engagement within the  premium banking segment. Together, these channels reflect a deliberate strategy to grow  inclusively, meeting clients where they are, whether in a rural cooperative or a bank  branch. 

　　Despite volatile market conditions, the company remains profitable and stable with solid  operational performance and strong capital position in the first quarter. 

　　Looking ahead, Sun Life Grepa is focused on sustaining this momentum through  deeper strategic partnerships, stronger bancassurance integration, and continued  expansion of its client base, guided by a commitment to making financial security  accessible to more Filipinos. 

　　“Our performance this quarter shows that our strategy is working where it matters most:  reaching more Filipinos and helping them take meaningful steps toward financial security,”  said Sun Life Grepa President Richard S. Lim. “We’re not just growing for growth’s  sake. We’re building a business that is more inclusive, more resilient, and better aligned  with evolving needs of our clients。” 

　　With its current trajectory, the company is well-positioned to capture further growth while  staying true to its mission of helping Filipinos achieve lifetime financial security and  healthier lives。
