Phoenix Group is set to acquire closed book UK life insurance company Sun Life UK for £248m, funded from existing cash resources.
The deal is expected to deliver circa £470m of incremental long-term cash generation, with approximately 30% of this to emerge in the first three years.
Sun Life UK operates a predominantly outsourced business model, with the majority of its policy administration already undertaken by Phoenix's strategic partner TCS Diligenta, supporting a simplified operational integration programme.
