(billions) 57.6 47.8 billion for the quarter were
consistent with the fourth quarter of 2004. Record high sales levels in variable
annuities and in Retirement Pension Services ("RPS") helped to
boost the asset levels in the fourth quarter as revenues outpaced
the increases in expenses due to economies of scale. The
decrease in earnings was a result of less favourable claims and
investment experience compared to the fourth quarter of 2004.0 billion, an increase of $8. This increase was driven by
growth in Japan's variable annuity block and Hong Kong's
Individual business and a $52 million release in reserves
resulting from a move to a less risky asset profile in the
Daihyaku block of business. The increase in funds under management was partially
offset by redemptions of mutual funds in Indonesia, consistent
with the experience across the industry as interest rates spiked
mid-year, and the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar.
