Once again, in 2006, SulAmérica was an innovator in the private pension funds market, launching PREV 10 – a product that requires only a one-time payment and offers the maximum returns in fiscal benefits and a guaranteed rate of yield and coverage in case of death. During the year, the company launched SulAmérica Previdência Simplificado and SulAmérica Previdência Empresarial, with the purpose of strengthening its participation in the corporate market, specially small and medium businesses.

An outstanding development of the year was the expansion of contributions to two pension products offering variable-rate returns, Vida Gerador de Benefícios Livres (VGBL) and Plano Gerador de Benefícios Livres (PGBL), which grew by 35.9% and 32.5%, respectively.

In the life insurance segment, the company was the first in the market to launch a complete line of products totally adapted to new regulations issued by the supervisory agency, the Superintendência de Seguros Privados (Susep). This line, SulAmérica Você, consists of personal life and accident insurance and targets small and medium-sized groups of individuals or businesses as well as large firms and offers the policy-holder flexibility in choosing the amount of coverage.

In 2006, yields on contributions increased by 17.2%. Accumulated reserves at year-end totaled R$ 1.3 billion, an increase of 17.7%. At the end of the year, the portfolio of clients included 121,610 people enrolled in pensions and 2,498,786 life insurance policy-holders.
