    THE life insurance industry posted a robust performance in the first half of this year, boosted by strong sales of investment-linked plans and a positive attitude towards protection and retirement needs.

    Weighted new business premiums jumped 20 per cent to S$2.02 billion from the same period in 2017, according to a half-yearly review by the Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA) out on Monday.
