Peruvian life insurance company Protecta plans to sell 400,000 policies worth US$10mn during its first year of operations, the insurer said in a press release.
Protecta, which launched operations last February, specializes in microinsurance.
Peru's financial sector regulator SBS authorized financial services group ACP Inversiones y Desarrollo to incorporate Protecta in July 2007.
ACP Inversiones y Desarrollo is the controlling shareholder of Peruvian microfinance bank Mibanco.
Protecta plans to offer microinsurance using non-bank finance companies and cooperatives as distribution channels, according to the statement.
The new insurer will sell both individual and group life insurance and annuities.
