E.Sun Financial Holding Co. plans to inject at least half a billion dollars to revive a struggling life insurance firm it is acquiring, as part of its broader ambition to become a more prominent player in Taiwan’s increasingly competitive financial sector.
The Taipei-based financial holding company plans to transfer around NT$17 billion ($544 million) in cash — drawn from the group’s profits — to Mercuries Life Insurance Co. in 2026 and 2027, E.Sun Chairman Huang Nan-chou said in an interview on Monday.
