1. License / group boundary

The following table is scoped to public primary sources (fsa.go.jp, seiho.or.jp, neofirst.co.jp). It restates licence / structure / product boundaries from those materials and does not invent market share, ranking, or unstated numerical claims. ^↗

2. Operating model

Dai-ichi Neo Life is positioned within the group as a specialty life insurer for agencies / specific channels, providing protection-type products such as medical and cancer coverage through a distribution network (insurance shops, multi-company agencies, etc.) separate from Dai-ichi Life’s own sales-representative channel. In this way, alongside Dai Ichi Life Insurance centered on face-to-face sales representatives and Daiichi Frontier Life Insurance centered on bancassurance and single-premium savings-type products, it forms a three-tier division of channels and products across the group as a whole. For the life-insurance-common framework of underwriting, policy reserves, and ALM, see Japan life-insurance ALM overview.
