Data on asset of life insurance companies, and insurance digest of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) were used to determine profit after tax and asset size for the relevant period. The data’s stationarity test revealed that the data are stationary at the significance levels of 1%, 5%, and 10%. Data are statistically significant because the calculated probability (F-statistic) value from the ordinary least squares regression is smaller than the 0.05 significant value. The profit after tax is accounted for by 73.8811 percent of the total assets of life insurance firms, according to the computed linear co-efficient of determination (R2= 0.738811).
