Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America has reported a 10% rise in its fiscal 2013 operating profit to $646m, compared to $586m in fiscal 2012.
The company attributed the increase in operating profit to a growing asset base, improved margins and expense management.

Life insurance sales for the company have increased by 12% to $73m from $65m in 2012.
Allianz Life president & CEO Walter White said demand for the company’s products increased in 2013 as Americans continue to seek ways to grow their retirement savings and generate income in retirement.
