Sun Life Financial Inc. (NYSE: SLF) is a diversified financial services firm that delivers asset-management, wealth, insurance, and health solutions to both individual and institutional clients across 15+ markets, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and a broad set of Asian economies such as Hong Kong, Japan, India, and Singapore.

The company’s insurance portfolio spans term and permanent life policies, personal health coverage (prescription drugs, dental, vision), critical-illness, long-term care, and disability products. On the investment side, Sun Life offers mutual and segregated funds, annuities, guaranteed investment products, and provides comprehensive financial-planning and retirement services. Its asset-management arm manages pooled funds, institutional portfolios, and pension-fund assets for a global client base.

Founded in 1871 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Sun Life operated under the name Sun Life Financial Services of Canada Inc. until it rebranded to Sun Life Financial Inc. in July 2003.

Key financial and sector metrics: • 2023 net income was C$3.2 billion, reflecting a 7 % YoY increase driven by higher life-insurance premiums and fee-based investment income. • The firm’s combined ratio in its Canadian life-insurance segment improved to 92.5 % in Q4 2023, indicating underwriting profitability. • Demographic aging in North America and rising middle-class wealth in Asia are core growth drivers for life-insurance and wealth-management demand.

Ticker SLF is classified under the GICS sub-industry “Life & Health Insurance,” and its performance is sensitive to interest-rate trends, mortality assumptions, and regulatory capital requirements.
