Dodridge Miller, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

“The Sagicor Group delivered solid results for the quarter in the face of a volatile market and rising rate environment. Asset price volatility continued to foster a favorable environment for us to grow premiums and invest at higher yields, which particularly benefited Sagicor Life USA again this quarter. Sagicor Jamaica had a strong quarter as it saw net premium revenue growth across all major business lines, while Sagicor Life was impacted by higher benefits and charges that are non-recurring in nature. In the quarter we also announced the acquisition of ivari, a transformational addition to our Group which we expect to close in 2023.”
