"From the perspective of our clients, we continued to deliver strong medium and longer-term investment results in our asset management businesses; delivered claims and benefits payments of CAN$7.5 billion in the first six months of the year; rolled out new digital tools in Canada and Asia to make it easier to do business with us; and brought to our clients one of the broadest portfolios of ancillary group benefits in the US in the quarter, as we welcomed the Assurant clients this year," Connor said.
