The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released its bi-annual statistics of the individual performance of life insurers operating in Australia.

The institution-level statistics includes financial year-end information and also data relating to financial performance, position and capital adequacy at total entity level, and also specific to investment linked and non-investment linked business.

APRA says the data is compiled primarily from regulatory returns by authorised life insurance companies as required under the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

Here are the results of key life insurers covering various financial years across the 12 months to December 2020 (in alphabetical order):
