We lay claim to a staggering asset base of over LKR 313.2 billion backed by the largest life insurance fund in Sri Lanka amounting in excess of LKR 181.9 billion, affording us the opportunity to declare the largest bonus (LKR 10.49 Billion) in the history of the insurance industry in Sri Lanka. We guarantee a substantially larger bonus for all life policyholders from the very first year, calculated based on total sum assured rather than premium payment. Backed by world renowned reinsurance companies such as Unique Reinsurance and Swiss Re, we made yet another industry first with the largest claim ever to be paid in Sri Lanka of LKR 39.5 billion.
