Aug 7 (Reuters) - Canada's Sun Life Financial ( SLF )

reported a jump in second-quarter profit on Thursday, driven by

strong growth in its Asia unit and solid performance in its

wealth management division.

The country's second-largest life insurer posted net income

of C$716 million ($520.88 million), or C$1.26 per share, for the

three months ending June 30, compared to C$646 million, or

C$1.11 per share, a year earlier.
