YUNFENG FIN (00376) has announced that the company recently received a conditional approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The approval grants consent for the registration of its proposed wholly-owned subsidiary, YF Life Insurance Bermuda Ltd. (YF Life Bermuda), as a Class E insurer in Bermuda. Class E insurers are permitted to conduct long-term insurance business, including life, annuity, accident, and disability risks, in accordance with relevant BMA regulations. The company views obtaining this conditional approval as a significant milestone for the group in advancing the global development of its insurance business. YF Life Bermuda is expected to primarily serve the international client market and will help expand the group's business footprint. Furthermore, the group plans to use the Bermuda platform as a base to explore the application of artificial intelligence and data technology within insurance operations, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and prudent risk management. These initiatives will be progressively implemented where appropriate to enhance customer service quality and operational efficiency. The company cautions shareholders and potential investors that the conditional approval is still subject to the fulfillment of certain regulatory conditions before it becomes effective. These conditions include the appointment of directors and responsible officers, the establishment of customary policies suitable for long-term insurance business, and the injection of capital sufficient to meet relevant regulatory requirements and commensurate with the intended business scale. All these matters must be satisfactory to the BMA. The company will fund the capital requirements using internal resources. YF Life Bermuda is not permitted to commence any insurance business until these conditions are met and written approval is obtained from the BMA.
