Aviva and Singlife Merger in Singapore
I received a letter from Aviva Singapore regarding the "Combination of Aviva Singapore and Singlife".
So what's the big deal?
Well, I am an existing Aviva Singapore insurance policy customer.
I am also contemplating to put some money into Singlife... But hesitated because of contradicting reviews... Read my research here... https://adrianvideoimage.com/singlife/
Now that Aviva Singapore and Singlife are merging together, things may change.
Here's what I understand about the merger, according to the letter I received:
- This is a planned transaction to combine Aviva Singapore and Singapore Life Pte Ltd ("Singlife"). So not merged company hasn't happened yet.
- The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete by January 2021.
- Thereafter, the Aviva Singapore and Singlife legal entities will combine, subject to approval by the Singapore courts, targeting the first half of 2021.
- Aviva will retain a 25% equity shareholding in the new, combined business.n
- TPG, a leading global private equity investor, will become a significant shareholder in the combined group, alongside Sumitomo Life Insurance Company and the other existing Singlife shareholders.
- Aviva Singapore has established excellence and industry experience.
- Singlife has innovative and digitally focused capabilities.
- There will be no changes to the terms, premiums and fees of policies I hold with Aviva.
- They will continue to operate under the same brand until further notice.

In conclusion, I think that's probably good news. What do you think?
Should I put my money into Singlife now or wait for the merger to happen?
