The Group operates in four principal operating segments: P&C, Life, Claims Adjusting and Datong. Business segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The principle activities of the four reportable operating segments are as follows:
1) P&C segment
This segment provides brokerage and agency services of property and casualty insurance products.
2) Life segment
This segment mainly provides life insurance brokerage and agency services.
3) Claims Adjusting segment
This segment provides pre-underwriting survey, claim adjusting, disposal of residual value, loading and unloading supervision and consulting services.
4) Datong segment
