Samsung's insurance businesses are reportedly pursuing two major overseas investments that could together be worth as much as $6.6bn, as the South Korean group looks to expand beyond its domestic market. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance is in talks over an additional stake in London-based specialty (re)insurer Canopius, while Samsung Life Insurance is considering an investment of about 15% in US retirement and asset-management company Principal Financial Group (PFG), according to South Korean financial media.
