“2021 was a record year for Sagicor and one of the strongest in our history. We delivered $133 million of profits to our shareholders during the year, supported by excellent results in Sagicor Life USA and Sagicor Jamaica in particular. Sagicor Life also posted a robust performance considering the continued challenging operating environment from the pandemic in some of its key markets. Our Sagicor Life USA segment now represents the largest portion of our assets and revenues, and we expect this to continue.
Our colleagues worked diligently during another difficult year to achieve great outcomes for our customers across the Caribbean and the United States and to deliver strong results to our shareholders. I am extremely proud of our team members for their commitment and contributions to the communities in which they live and work.
We are excited about what lies ahead in 2022 and beyond, having demonstrated our company’s strength in 2021. Sagicor is well positioned to continue the positive momentum as we execute our strategic growth plans.”
