TL;DR

A mid-sized life insurance holding company that is among the largest domestically in the independent (non-affiliated) life insurance space. Its greatest feature is the 3 社 differentiation of Taiyo Life (founded 1893 / household market) + Daido Life (founded 1902 / SME-owner market) + T&D Financial Life (bancassurance). Established through the 2004-04 management integration, TSE PRIME 8795. It holds the No.5 position after the major 4 life insurers (nippon-life / dai-ichi-life / Sumitomo Life / Meiji Yasuda Life). In 2020 it took an investment participation in the US Fortitude Group (reinsurance-platform conversion), and the 2024 mid-term plan envisions expanding overseas M&A. The corporate name “T&D” derives from Taiyo + Daido. ^•
