"Sales and net flows were solid across our domestic businesses, with variable annuity sales achieving record levels for the second consecutive quarter," Prudential CEO John Strangfeld said in a statement.
"International insurance sales were strong as well, benefiting from expanded distribution of our life insurance protection products," he added.
Prudential raised its full-year operating profit forecast from 5 dollars to 5.2 dollars to a range of 5.40 dollars to 5.60 dollars per share.
