Magazine's list of World's Most Admired Companies for the
23rd time, ranking No. 1 in the Insurance: Life and
Health category as a long-term investment for the second

survey of executives, directors and analysts who analyze companies
within their own industry. Survey respondents provide opinions
related to nine criteria, including how companies size up on
investment value, quality of management, social responsibility,
innovation and more. A company's score must rank in the top half of
its industry to hold a place on this list.

the long-term because they know the quality of our products and
services and because of our careful approach to ensuring

consecutive year it has increased its dividend to shareholders,
