Prudential plans to set
A holding company will make it easier for Prudential to realign its newly acquired units in Japan, with the sources suggesting the U.S. firm may consider merging its subsidiaries in two to three years.
A shift to a holding company will also help Prudential straighten up its group strategies over such matters as personnel, finance and brand management in Japan, the sources said.
The U.S. firm's Japanese businesses have so far been subject to a complicated management structure. Prudential Life Insurance, which markets policies mainly in urban areas, is part of the Prudential group's overseas segment, while Gibraltar, which mostly focuses on rural areas in Japan, is supervised directly by the parent's management.
