Korean society is ageing rapidly. In the year 2018,
population of over 65 years is expected to account for
approximately 14%. Aging population highlights the
importance of asset management and health care in order to
lead a decent life after retirement.
In this vein, annuity insurance is recently emerging as the
solution that serves the needs for saving, risk protection
and stable income after retirement.
