Note
This measure is the formal profit before tax measure under IFRS. It is not the result attributable to shareholders principally because total corporate tax of the Group includes those taxes on the income of consolidated with-profits and unit-linked funds that, through adjustments to benefits, are borne by policyholders. These amounts are required to be included in the tax charge under IAS 12. Consequently, the IFRS profit before tax measure is not representative of pre-tax profit attributable to shareholders.

Notes
(i) Included in net cash flows from operating activities are dividends from joint ventures and associates of $73 million (half year 2023: $62 million; full year 2023: $209 million). Cash advanced of $176 million in full year 2023 to CPL, the Group's joint venture in the Chinese Mainland, reflected cash advanced that has subsequently been converted into a capital injection in half year 2024.
(ii) Cash flows from acquisition of business and intangibles include amounts paid for distribution rights. There were no acquisitions of businesses in the period.

A Basis of preparation
A1 Basis of preparation and exchange rates
These condensed consolidated financial statements ('interim financial statements') for the six months ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with both IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the IASB and IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK. The Group's policy for preparing this interim financial information is to use the accounting policies adopted by the Group in its last consolidated financial statements, as updated by any changes in accounting policies it intends to make in its next consolidated financial statements as a result of new or amended IFRS and other policy improvements. At 30 June 2024, there were no unadopted standards effective for the period ended 30 June 2024 which impacted the interim financial statements of the Group, and there were no differences between UK-adopted international accounting standards and IFRS Standards as issued by the IASB in terms of their application to the Group.
Except for the new and amended IFRS Standards as described in note A2, the accounting policies applied by the Group in determining the IFRS financial results in these interim financial statements are the same as those previously applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 as disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.
The IFRS financial results for half year 2024 and half year 2023 are unaudited. The full year 2023 IFRS financial results have been derived from the 2023 statutory accounts. The Group's auditors reported on the 2023 statutory accounts which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on the 2023 statutory accounts was: (i) unqualified; (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern basis of accounting
The Directors have made an assessment of going concern covering a period to 31 August 2025, being at least 12 months from the date these interim financial statements are approved. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered both the Group's current performance, solvency and liquidity and the Group's business plan taking into account the Group's principal risks, and the mitigations available to address them, as well as the results of the Group's stress and scenario testing.
Based on the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue their operations for a period to 31 August 2025, being at least 12 months from the date these interim financial statements are approved. No material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern have been identified. The Directors therefore consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024.

Certain notes to the interim financial statements present comparative information at constant exchange rates (CER), in addition to the reporting at actual exchange rates (AER) used throughout the interim financial statements. AER are actual historical exchange rates for the specific accounting period, being the average rates over the period for the income statement and the closing rates at the balance sheet date for the statement of financial position. CER results are calculated by translating prior period results using the current year foreign exchange rate, ie current period average rates for the income statement and current period closing rates for the statement of financial position.
A2 New accounting pronouncements in 2024
The Group has adopted the following amendments in these interim financial statements. The adoption of these amendments has had no significant impact on the Group financial statements.
- Amendments to IAS 1 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current' issued in January 2020 and October 2022 and 'Non-current liabilities with covenants' issued in October 2022;
- Amendments to IFRS 16 'Lease liability in a sale and leaseback' issued in September 2022; and
- Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 'Supplier finance arrangements' issued in May 2023.

Notes
(i) Segment results are attributed to the shareholders of the Group before deducting the amount attributable to the non-controlling interests. This presentation is applied consistently throughout the document. For definitions of AER and CER refer to note A1.
(ii) The Growth markets and other segment includes non-insurance entities that support the Group's insurance business and the result for this segment is after deducting the corporate taxes arising from the life joint ventures and associates.
(iii) Net investment return and other items includes an adjustment to eliminate intercompany profits. Entities within the Prudential Group can provide services to each other, the most significant example being the provision of asset management services by Eastspring to the life entities. If the associated expenses are deemed attributable to the entity's insurance contracts then the costs are included within the estimate of future cash flows when measuring the insurance contract under IFRS 17. In the Group's consolidated accounts, IFRS 17 requires the removal of the intercompany profit from the measurement of the insurance contract. Put another way the future cash flows include the cost to the Group (not the insurance entity) of providing the service. In the period that the service is provided the entity undertaking the service, for example Eastspring, recognises the profit it earns as part of its results. To avoid any double counting an adjustment is included with the centre's 'net investment return and other items' to remove the benefit already recognised when valuing the insurance contract.
(iv) Corporate expenditure as shown above is for head office functions.
(v) Restructuring and IFRS 17 implementation costs largely comprise the costs of Group-wide projects including the implementation of IFRS 17 (including one-off costs associated with embedding IFRS 17), reorganisation programmes and initial costs of establishing new business initiatives and operations. The costs include those incurred in insurance and asset management operations of $(18) million (half year 2023: $(36) million; full year 2023: $(81) million).
(vi) Loss attaching to corporate transactions in half year 2024 mainly relates to the held for sale businesses (further details are provided in note C1.2). The $(22) million loss in full year 2023 largely reflected costs incurred on the termination of corporate services.
B1.2 Determining operating segments and performance measure of operating segments
Operating segments
The Group's operating and reported segments for financial reporting purposes are defined and presented in accordance with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments'. There have been no changes to the Group's operating segments as reported in these interim financial statements from those reported in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Operations and transactions which do not form part of any business unit are reported as 'Unallocated to a segment' and generally comprise head office functions.
Performance measure
The performance measure of operating segments utilised by the Group is IFRS operating profit based on longer-term investment returns (adjusted operating profit) as described below. This measurement basis distinguishes adjusted operating profit from other constituents of total profit or loss for the period, including short-term fluctuations in investment returns and loss on corporate transactions. Note B1.1 shows the reconciliation from adjusted operating profit to total profit for the period.
Determination of adjusted operating profit
(a) Approach adopted for insurance businesses
The measurement of adjusted operating profit reflects that, for the insurance business, assets and liabilities are held for the longer term. The Group believes trends in underlying performance are better understood if the effects of short-term fluctuations in market conditions, such as changes in interest rates or equity markets, are excluded.
The method of allocating profit between operating and non-operating components involves applying longer-term rates of return to the Group's assets held by insurance entities (including joint ventures and associates). These longer-term rates of return are not applied when assets and liabilities move broadly in tandem and hence the effect on profit from short-term market movements is more muted. In summary the Group applies the following approach when attributing the 'net investment result' between operating and non-operating profit:
- Returns on investments that meet the definition of an 'underlying item', namely those investments that determine some of the amounts payable to a policyholder such as assets within unit-linked funds or with-profits funds, are recorded in adjusted operating profit on an actual return basis. The exception is for investments backing the shareholders' 10 per cent share of the estate within the Hong Kong with-profits fund. Changes in the value of these investments, including those driven by market movements, pass through the income statement with no liability offset. Consequently adjusted operating profit recognises investment return on a longer-term basis for these assets.
- For insurance contracts measured under the general measurement model (GMM), the impact of market movements on both the non-underlying insurance contract balances and the investments they relate to are considered together. Adjusted operating profit allows for the long-term credit spread (net of the expected defaults) or long-term equity risk premium on the debt and equity-type instruments respectively. Deducted from this amount is the unwind of the illiquidity premium included in the current discount rate for the liabilities.
- Some GMM best estimate liabilities (BEL) components are calculated by reference to the investment return of assets, even if the BEL component itself is not considered an underlying item, for example the BEL component related to future fee income or a guarantee. In these cases, for the purposes of determining operating profit, the BEL component is calculated assuming a longer-term investment return and any difference between the actual return arising in the period and the longer-term investment return is taken to non-operating profit. There is no impact on the balance sheet of this allocation.
- A longer-term rate of return is applied to all other investments held by the Group's insurance business for the purposes of calculating adjusted operating profit. More details on how longer-term rates are determined are set out below.
The difference between the net investment result recorded in the income statement and the longer-term returns determined using the above principles is recorded as 'short-term fluctuations in investment returns' as a component of non-operating profit.
The 'insurance service result' is largely recognised in adjusted operating profit in full with the main exception being the gains or losses that arise from market and other related movements on onerous contracts measured under the variable fee approach (VFA). If these gains and losses are capable of being offset across more than one annual cohort of the same product or fund as applicable, then the adjusted operating profit is determined by amortising the net of the future profits and losses on all contracts where profits or losses can be shared. Any difference between this and the amount included in the income statement for onerous contracts is classified as part of 'short-term fluctuations in investment returns', a component of non-operating profit. See note B1.3 (ii) for the reconciliation to the 'insurance service result' recognised in the condensed consolidated income statement.
(b) Determination of longer-term returns
The longer-term rates of return are estimates of the long-term trend investment returns having regard to past performance, current trends and future expectations. These rates are broadly stable from period to period but may be different between regions, reflecting, for example, differing expectations of inflation in each business unit. The assumptions are for the returns expected to apply in equilibrium conditions. The assumed rates of return do not reflect any cyclical variability in economic performance and are not set by reference to prevailing asset valuations.
For collective investment schemes that include different types of assets (eg equities and debt securities), weighted assumptions are used reflecting the asset mix underlying the relevant fund mandates.
Debt securities and loans
For debt securities and loans, the longer-term rates of return are estimates of the long-term government bond yield, plus the estimated long-term credit spread over the government bond yield, less an allowance for expected credit losses. The credit spread and credit loss assumptions reflect the mix of assets by credit rating. Longer-term rates of return range from 2.8 per cent to 8.8 per cent for half year 2024 (half year 2023: 2.8 per cent to 7.8 per cent; full year 2023: 2.8 per cent to 8.4 per cent).
Equity-type securities
For equity-type securities, the longer-term rates of return are estimates of the long-term trend investment returns for income and capital. Longer-term rates of return range from 8.6 per cent to 15.7 per cent for all periods shown.
Derivative value movements
In the case where derivatives change the nature of other invested assets (eg by lengthening the duration of assets, hedging overseas bonds to the currency of the local liabilities, or by providing synthetic exposure to equities), the longer-term return on those invested assets reflects the impacts of the derivatives.
(c) Non-insurance businesses
For these businesses, the determination of adjusted operating profit reflects the underlying economic substance of the arrangements and excludes market-related items only where it is expected these will unwind over time.
B1.3 Analysis of adjusted operating profit by driver
Management assesses adjusted operating profit by breaking it down into the key components that drive performance each period.
The table below analyses the Group's adjusted operating profit into the underlying drivers using the following categories:
- Adjusted release of CSM, which is net of reinsurance, represents the release from the CSM for the insurance services provided in the period, adjusted for the reduction in CSM release that would occur if gains on profitable contracts were combined with losses on onerous contracts for those contracts where gains and losses can be shared across cohorts as described in note B1.2.
- Release of risk adjustment, which is net of reinsurance, represents the amount of risk adjustment recognised in the income statement representing non-financial risk that expired in the period net of the amount that was assumed to be covered by any reinsurance contracts in place. The only difference between the amount shown in the table below and the amount included within Insurance service result on the consolidated income statement is the amount relating to the Group's life joint ventures and associates that use the equity method of accounting.
- Experience variances represent the difference between the actual amounts incurred or received in the period and that assumed within the best estimate liability for insurance and reinsurance contracts. It covers items such as claims, attributable expenses and premiums to the extent that they relate to current or past service.
- Other insurance service result primarily relates to movements on onerous contracts that impact adjusted operating profit (ie excluding those discussed in B1.2).
- Net investment result on longer-term basis comprises the component of the 'net investment result' that has been attributed to adjusted operating profit by applying the approach as described in note B1.2.
- Other insurance income and expenditure represent other sources of income and expenses that are not considered to be attributable to insurance contracts under IFRS 17.
- Share of related tax charges from joint ventures and associates represents the related tax on the adjusted operating profit of the Group's life joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method. Under IFRS, the Group's share of results from its investments in joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method is included as a single line in the Group's profit before tax on a net of related tax basis. In the table below, the results of the life joint ventures and associates are analysed by adjusted operating profit drivers and on a pre-tax basis, with related tax shown separately in order for the contribution from the life joint ventures and associates to be included in the profit driver analysis on a consistent basis with the rest of the insurance business operations.

Notes
(i) The Group's share of the results from the joint ventures and associates including CPL that are equity accounted for is presented in a single line within the Group's profit before tax on a net of related tax basis, and therefore not shown in the analysis of revenue line items above.
(ii) Other revenue comprises revenue from external customers and consists primarily of revenue from the Group's asset management business of $182 million (half year 2023: $145 million; full year 2023: $299 million).

Notes
(i) Profit before tax includes Prudential's share of profit after tax from the joint ventures and associates that are equity-accounted for. Therefore, the actual tax charge in the income statement does not include tax arising from the results of joint ventures and associates including CPL.
(ii) At 30 June 2024, the Group has applied the mandatory exemption from recognising and disclosing information on deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of Pillar 2 income taxes.

A number of jurisdictions in which the Group has operations - Japan, South Korea, Luxembourg, Vietnam and the UK - have implemented either a global minimum tax or a domestic minimum tax at a rate of 15 per cent, in line with the OECD proposals, effective for 2024 onwards. Malaysia has implemented both the global minimum tax and domestic minimum tax effective for 2025 onwards. Other jurisdictions where the Group has a taxable presence, including Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand intend to implement the proposals for 2025 onwards.
The Group has calculated the impact of the legislation applying for 2024 and there is no resulting amount in respect of Pillar 2 income taxes included in the current tax charge for the period ended 30 June 2024.

* Estimated based on the outstanding number of ordinary shares as at 30 June 2024.
First and second interim dividends are recorded in the period in which they are paid.
Dividend per share
On 23 October 2024, Prudential will pay a first interim dividend of 6.84 cents per ordinary share for the year ending 31 December 2024. The first interim dividend will be paid to shareholders recorded on the UK register at 5.00pm (British Summer Time) and to shareholders on the HK branch register at 4.30pm (Hong Kong Time) on 6 September 2024 (Record Date), and also to the Holders of US American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as at 6 September 2024. The first interim dividend will be paid on or around 30 October 2024 to shareholders with shares standing to the credit of their securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (CDP) at 5.00pm (Singapore Time) on the Record Date.
Shareholders holding shares on the UK or HK share registers will continue to receive their dividend payments in either GBP or HKD respectively, unless they elect to receive dividend payments in USD. Shareholders on the UK register are also eligible to participate in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan as an alternative of receiving dividends in cash. Elections must be made through the relevant UK or HK share registrar on or before 30 September 2024. The corresponding amounts per share in GBP and HKD are expected to be announced on or around 9 October 2024. The USD to GBP and HKD conversion rates will be determined by the actual rates achieved by Prudential buying those currencies prior to the subsequent announcement.
Shareholders holding an interest in Prudential shares through the CDP in Singapore will continue to receive their dividend payments in SGD based on the prevailing market exchange rate.
Holders of ADRs will continue to receive their dividend payments in USD.
C Financial position
C1 Group assets and liabilities
C1.1 Group investments by business type
The analysis below is structured to show the investments of the Group's subsidiaries by reference to the differing degrees of policyholder and shareholder economic interest of the different types of business.
Debt securities are analysed below according to the issuing government for sovereign debt and to credit ratings for the rest of the securities. The Group uses the middle of the Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch ratings, where available. Where ratings are not available from these rating agencies, local external rating agencies' ratings and lastly internal ratings have been used. Securities with none of the ratings listed above are classified as unrated and included under the 'below BBB- and unrated' category. The total securities (excluding sovereign debt) that were unrated at 30 June 2024 were $1,220 million (30 June 2023: $1,127 million; 31 December 2023: $1,181 million). Additionally, government debt is shown separately from the rating breakdowns in order to provide a more focused view of the credit portfolio.
In the table below, AAA is the highest possible rating. Investment grade financial assets are classified within the range of AAA to BBB- ratings. Financial assets which fall outside this range are classified as below BBB-.
The following table classifies assets into those that primarily back the Group's participating funds that are measured under the variable fee approach, those backing unit-linked funds, other investments held within the insurance entities, Eastspring's investments and those that are unallocated to a segment (principally centrally held investments).
In terms of the investments held by the insurance businesses, those within funds with policyholder participation and those within unit-linked funds represent underlying items. The gains or losses on these investments will be offset by movements in policyholder liabilities and therefore adjusted operating profit reflects the actual investment return on these assets. The exception is for investments backing the shareholders' 10 per cent share of the estate within the Hong Kong with-profits fund. Changes in the value of these investments, including those driven by market movements, pass through the income statement with no liability offset. Consequently adjusted operating profit recognises investment return on a longer-term basis for these assets.
In terms of other assets held within the insurance entities, these largely comprise assets backing IFRS shareholders' equity or are non-underlying items backing GMM liabilities and therefore the returns on these other investments are recognised in adjusted operating profit at a longer-term rate.

C1.2 Other assets and liabilities
Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
At 30 June 2024, there are PPE of $390 million (30 June 2023: $396 million; 31 December 2023: $374 million). During half year 2024, the Group made additions of $113 million of PPE (half year 2023: $37 million; full year 2023: $101 million), of which $86 million relates to right-of-use assets (half year 2023: $19 million; full year 2023: $57 million).
Accrued investment income and other debtors
At 30 June 2024, there are accrued investment income and other debtors of $3,400 million (30 June 2023: $2,052 million; 31 December 2023: $2,164 million), of which $3,311 million (30 June 2023: $1,918 million; 31 December 2023: $2,048 million) are expected to be settled within one year.
Accruals, deferred income and other creditors
At 30 June 2024, there are accruals, deferred income and other liabilities of $3,395 million (30 June 2023: $2,277 million; 31 December 2023: $4,035 million), of which $3,208 million (30 June 2023: $2,087 million; 31 December 2023: $3,845 million) are due within one year.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
At 30 June 2024 the Group is pursuing the disposal of a number of subsidiaries which, as the required conditions were met at the reporting date, are classified as held for sale. These subsidiaries were remeasured to their estimated fair value less expected costs to sell, with a resulting remeasurement loss of $(69) million recognised in the income statement within 'Loss attaching to corporate transactions'. After reflecting the impact of non-controlling interests and other related changes in equity, the overall impact on shareholders' equity is a reduction of $(25) million.
C2 Measurement of financial assets and liabilities
C2.1 Determination of fair value
The fair values of the financial instruments for which fair valuation is required under IFRS Standards are determined by the use of quoted market prices for exchange-quoted investments, or by using quotations from independent third parties, such as brokers and pricing services or by using appropriate valuation techniques. Climate change does not directly impact fair values particularly where these are built on observable inputs (ie level 1 and level 2), which represent the majority of the Group's financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments reflects the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay in an arm's-length transaction. This amount is determined using quoted prices if exchange listed, quotations from independent third parties or valued internally using standard market practices.
The fair value of the subordinated and senior debt issued by the Group is determined using quoted prices from independent third parties.
Valuation approach for level 2 fair-valued assets and liabilities
A significant proportion of the Group's level 2 assets are corporate bonds, structured securities and other non-national government debt securities. These assets, in line with market practice, are generally valued using a designated independent pricing service or quote from third-party brokers. These valuations are subject to a number of monitoring controls, such as comparison to multiple pricing sources where available, monthly price variances, stale price reviews and variance analysis on prices achieved on subsequent trades. For further detail on the valuation approach for level 2 fair-valued assets and liabilities, refer to note C2.1 of the Group IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Valuation approach for level 3 fair-valued assets and liabilities
Investments valued using valuation techniques include financial investments which by their nature do not have an externally quoted price based on regular trades, and financial investments for which markets are no longer active as a result of market conditions, eg market illiquidity. Level 3 assets of the Group consist primarily of property, infrastructure and private equity funds held by the participating funds and are externally valued using the net asset value of the invested entities.
The Group's valuation policies, procedures and analyses for instruments categorised as level 3 are overseen by Business Unit committees as part of the Group's wider financial reporting governance processes. The procedures undertaken include approval of valuation methodologies, verification processes, and resolution of significant or complex valuation issues. In addition, the Group has minimum standards for independent price verification to ensure valuation accuracy is regularly independently verified. Adherence to this policy is monitored across the business units.
C2.2 Fair value measurement hierarchy
(a) Assets and liabilities carried at fair value
All of the Group's financial instruments held at fair value are classified as fair value through profit or loss at 30 June 2024 and measured on a recurring basis. In addition, at 30 June 2024, the Group has assets and liabilities held for sale as described in note C1.2 that have been measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis based on the expected sales proceeds for these businesses.
The table below shows the assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis analysed by level of the IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' defined fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy is based on the inputs to the fair value measurement and reflects the lowest level input that is significant to that measurement.

Notes
(i) Of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities at 30 June 2024, only loans contain more than one asset classification. The loans carried at amortised cost and their fair value are provided in note (c) below.
(ii) Of the total level 2 debt securities of $17,023 million at 30 June 2024, (30 June 2023: $20,049 million; 31 December 2023: $19,020 million), $5 million (30 June and 31 December 2023: $10 million) are valued internally.
(iii) For Investment contract liabilities without discretionary participation features, it is assumed that these investment contracts are not quoted in an active market and do not have readily available published prices and that their fair values are determined using valuation techniques. It is assumed that all significant inputs used in the valuation are observable and these investment contract liabilities are classified in level 2.
(iv) Net asset value attributable to unit holders of consolidated investment funds' represents the interests of investors other than the Group in the investment funds that the Group is deemed to control and therefore treated as a subsidiary and consolidated in the Group financial statements. The Group has designated Net asset value attributable to unit holders of consolidated investment funds as financial liabilities measured at FVTPL to eliminate any accounting mismatch with the underlying investments of those consolidated investment funds, which are measured at FVTPL.
(v) At 30 June 2024, the Group held $2,996 million (30 June 2023: $1,266 million; 31 December 2023: $2,904 million) of net financial instruments at fair value within level 3. This represents 2 per cent (30 June 2023: less than 1 per cent; 31 December 2023: 2 per cent) of the total fair valued financial assets, net of financial liabilities and comprises the following:
- Equity securities and holdings in collective investment schemes of $2,952 million (30 June 2023: $1,224 million; 31 December 2023: $2,863 million) consisting primarily of property, infrastructure and private equity funds held by the participating funds, which are externally valued using the net asset value of the invested entities. Equity securities of $1 million (30 June and 31 December 2023: $1 million) are internally valued, representing less than 0.1 per cent of the total fair valued financial assets, net of financial liabilities. Internal valuations are inherently more subjective than external valuations; and
- Other sundry individual financial instruments of a net asset of $43 million (30 June 2023: $41 million; 31 December 2023: $40 million).
Of the net financial instruments of$2,996 million at 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: $1,266 million; 31 December 2023: $2,904 million) referred to above:
- A net asset of $2,957 million (30 June 2023: $1,233 million; 31 December 2023: $2,866 million) is held by the Group's with-profits and unit-linked funds and therefore shareholders' profit and equity are not immediately impacted by movements in the valuation of these financial instruments; and
- The remaining level 3 investments comprise a net asset of $39 million (30 June 2023: $33 million; 31 December 2023: $38 million) and are primarily corporate bonds valued using external prices adjusted to reflect the specific known conditions relating to these bonds (eg distressed securities). If the value of all these level 3 financial instruments decreased by 10 per cent, the change in valuation would be $4 million (30 June 2023: $(3) million; 31 December 2023: $(4) million), which would reduce shareholders' equity by this amount before tax.
(b) Transfers into and transfers out of levels
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of levels as of the end of each reporting period except for material transfers which are recognised as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. Transfers are deemed to have occurred when there is a material change in the observed valuation inputs or a change in the level of trading activities of the securities.
During half year 2024, the transfers between levels within the portfolios were primarily transfers from level 1 to level 2 of $3,469 million and transfers from level 2 to level 1 of $2,622 million. These transfers primarily reflect the change in the observed valuation inputs of equity securities and debt securities and, in certain cases, the change in the level of trading activities of the securities. There were no transfers from level 3 to level 2 and no transfer into level 3 in the period.
Reconciliation of movements in level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value
The following table reconciles the value of level 3 fair-valued assets and liabilities at the beginning of the period to that presented at the end of the period.
Total investment return recorded in the income statement represents interest and dividend income, realised gains and losses, unrealised gains and losses on the assets classified at fair value through profit and loss and foreign exchange movements on an individual entity's overseas investments. Total gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income comprises the translation of investments into the Group's presentational currency of US dollars.

The fair value of the assets and liabilities in the table above, with the exception of the subordinated and senior debt issued by the Group, has been estimated from the discounted cash flows expected to be received or paid. The fair value of the subordinated and senior debt issued by the Group is determined using quoted prices from independent third parties.
C3 Insurance and reinsurance contracts
The amounts recorded in the balance sheet as insurance and reinsurance contract asset and liabilities are set out in the table below (on the left-hand side), broken out into their component parts. Additionally presented on the right-hand side are the same amounts but including the Group's share of the relevant amounts of its joint venture and associates, which are equity accounted for on the statement of financial position and hence all assets and liabilities of those businesses are included in a separate line.
Management believes that the movement in the CSM is a key driver for understanding changes in profitability from period to period and as the Group's share of the results of the joint ventures and associates are included in the Group's adjusted operating and total profit, it is relevant to understand the movement in insurance assets and liabilities including those entities too.
C3.1 Group overview

(c) Discount rate and risk-free rate
The Group elects to determine discount rates on a bottom-up basis, starting with a liquid risk-free yield curve and adding an illiquidity premium to reflect the characteristics of the insurance contracts. Risk-free rates are based on government bond yields for all currencies except HKD where risk-free rates are based on swap rates due to the higher liquidity of the HKD swap market. The illiquidity premium is calculated as the yield-to-maturity on a reference portfolio of assets with similar liquidity characteristics to the insurance contracts, (in particular, corporate bonds) less the risk-free curve, and an allowance for credit risk. For further detail on the determination of discount rates, refer to note A3.1 of the Group IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The following tables set out the range of yield curves used to discount cash flows of insurance contracts for major currencies. The range reflects the proportion of illiquidity premium applied by business unit and portfolio.
