New business sales at life and pensions group Hibernian were flat at £103m sterling last year, according to figures from its parent company Aviva this morning.
Total sales fell to £343m from £523m in 2001 in what the company called difficult investment conditions.
SSIA sales boosted regular premium life and savings sales by 59% to £35m. Total regular premiums were up 26% to £76m.
Regular premium pension sales were 21% higher at £41m, but sales of single premium life products were more than halved to £157m, affected by caution towards unit-linked and with-profit investments.
Single premium pension sales dropped from £141m to £110m.
Aviva sales edged up 2% to £2.73 billion, in line with forecasts, but the company said it expected conditions to remain difficult.
