EY 19B: Shareholder base income: consideration credited for investment management services

You could also call this:

“Life insurers' income from managing non-profit participation savings policies”

If you are a life insurer, you might earn money from managing savings product policies that are not profit participation policies. This money is called shareholder base income. You get this income when you help policyholders by managing their funds. These funds are meant to pay for future claims on their policies.

The amount you earn as shareholder base income is what you credit to your shareholder base in a year. This is the money you get for providing services to policyholders. These services include managing and looking after the funds that will be used to pay future claims on their policies.

It’s important to note that this shareholder base income is different from the income mentioned in section EY 19. The money we’re talking about here is not included in that other section.
