AIA did not disclose a deal value for the sale, but said the business holds about A$8 billion ($5.77 billion) in funds under administration.

The Australian savings and investment business, which offers superannuation and retirement products, was acquired by AIA Australia from Commonwealth Bank of Australia in 2020.

Hong Kong-based AIA's largest market is mainland China, which along with Hong Kong accounts for about half of its business.
