Introduction: Andrew Slater

In Andrew’s 20-plus year career in investment, he has worked with pension funds, insurers and wealth management institutions around the world.

A switch to asset management followed with multi-manager SEI Investments. Immediately before joining RisCura in 2012, Andrew was with Dutch risk adviser Ortec Finance. At RisCura Andrew’s time is split between promoting RisCura’s expertise in African investment to institutional investors in Europe, and participating in RisCura’s expansion across the African continent working with local investors. Andrew has a particular focus on establishing the RisCura business in Nigeria which he visits regularly. Andrew is alumnus of Cambridge University (undergraduate MA in mathematics and postgraduate MMath in theoretical physics) and London Business School, a Fellow of the UK Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, an Affiliate of the Actuarial Society of South Africa, a Fellow of the Zambian Actuarial Society and a CFA Charterholder.

Current Situation Financial industry still has some modernising to do
Access to money through a formal bank network can be difficult High interest rate and account charges by banks Insurance in Africa
63
Current Situation Lack of trust in financial institutions
Community comes to the aid of people in times of need Lack of reliable data on mortality and longevity and skilled insurance personnel Lack of big multi-national players Shallow financial markets make it difficult to raise enough money to capitalise insurance/re-insurance companies Non-life insurance is slightly more popular than Life Insurance in Africa

The Four Different Regions
Agenda Africa Some Statistics Current Situation The Four Different Regions Microinsurance The Future in Conclusion Insurance in Africa
65
West Africa (Ghana) 89% of the population are uninsured
Lack of payment of premiums was an issue. Sale of insurance on credit was common practice No premiums no cover policy was introduced to end this Huge issue as it stopped insurers from paying out claims and reinsurance (increased credit risk) Compulsory fire and commercial building insurance introduced in 2006 Funeral cover – funerals are a social event in Ghana High cost of funerals. On average cost is $7000-$8000 dollars however those in the business believe that the “Average funeral should cost between US$15,000 and 20,000” Insurers from South Africa, Morocco and the UK have entered the market Insurance in Africa
66
North Africa (Morocco)
Conventional insurance forbidden in Islam Takaful insurance industry on the rise Second largest insurance market in Africa after South Africa Huge growth seen between 2006 and 2014 (about 6% p.a.) Mainly driven by non-life insurance premiums Car insurance the largest portion of this Physical injury (17%) and work-related injury (12%) Life insurance segment still lagging behind New Islamic law introduced which will foster growth Insurance in Africa
67
East Africa (Kenya) Industry dominated by non-life insurance (Over 60% of premiums) 41% of this insurance in car insurance Medical Insurance just over 20% Fire insurance 10% Life insurance penetration is 0.94% South African companies well represented. Penetration rate higher than in most countries. Mainly due to innovation Bancassurance also on the rise, less underwriting needed Disadvantage – brokers lose out on jobs Insurance in Africa
68
South Africa (South Africa)
Exception to the rest of the rest of the continent Has a well developed life insurance industry Life insurance accounts for 81% of all insurance premiums (rest of the continent only accounts for 29.5%) High level of competition with the insurance market A highly developed financial industry High level of risk awareness Market nearing saturation Companies now venturing into the rest of Africa Lots of new business coming from the rest of Africa Insurance in Africa

Agenda Microinsurance Africa Some Statistics Current Situation
The Four Different Regions Microinsurance The Future in Conclusion Insurance in Africa

Micro Insurance Insurance targets the a small, wealthy, part of the population Leads to a situation where a large part of the population is left unprotected Gives a need and an opportunity for micro insurance Microinsurance is insurance with low premiums and low caps / coverage Mobile Phones and the start of mobile money transfers, proved to be a game changer Microinsurance makes it possible for people to take more risks. When farmers are insured against a bad harvest (resulting from drought), they are in a better position to grow crops which give high yields in good years, and bad yields in year of drought. Without the insurance, however, they will be inclined to do the opposite; since they have to safeguard a minimal level of income for themselves and their families, crops will be grown which are more drought resistant, but which have a much lower yield in good weather conditions.[5] Insurance in Africa
