Prudential Public (PUK) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Prudential Public (NYSE: PUK) is an England-based multinational life insurance and financial services company. Established in London in 1848, the firm has grown into one of the world’s largest life insurers, offering a broad range of protection and retirement solutions. It trades as American depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PUK.

The company’s core activities include life insurance, health insurance, and retirement planning products, alongside savings and investment vehicles. It provides individual and group pension plans, annuities, and endowment policies designed to help clients build, preserve, and transfer wealth. In addition, Prudential Public offers asset management services, catering both to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

Prudential Public maintains a strong presence across Asia, serving markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Originally founded to serve Britain’s growing middle class, Prudential Public has continuously adapted its offerings to meet shifting demographic and economic trends. In recent years, the company completed a strategic demerger of its UK savings and retail asset management arm (now operating as M&G plc), while retaining its core life insurance and retirement businesses. Prudential Public’s strong heritage and diversified geographic reach underpin its position as a major player in the international insurance industry.
