Abstract
This dissertation explores the financial performance of life insurance companies in the Nepalese market, focusing on the relationship between financial performance and its determinants. Employing both descriptive and causal comparative research designs, the study analyzes key financial metrics—Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE)—to understand their correlation with underlying factors. The research covers 14 life insurance companies in Nepal, selecting five major firms—Asian Life Insurance, National Life Insurance, Life Insurance Corporation, Citizen Life Insurance, and IME Life Insurance—for detailed analysis using secondary data from fiscal years 2018/19 to 2021/22. Findings reveal a significant positive relationship between financial performance and its determinants, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and investors aimed at enhancing the robustness and sustainability of Nepal's insurance sector. This thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of the financial dynamics in the industry, providing a comprehensive guide for improving financial performance and resilience in Nepal's insurance market.
