• Meet Group Finance Director Coralyn Co

Then, my mum’s business was targeted by an organized crime syndicate and around the same time, my papa made the decision to quit his high-salary job.

    2020 is a year likely none of us will ever forget. Covid-19, social distancing, a world in quarantine, and....murder hornets?

    It was a painful year to witness as the pandemic caused irreversible economic and social distress, as well as the loss of so many lives.

  • Social Impact or Insurance...both anyone?

    Posted in Blog, MicroInsurance blog on Aug 19, 2020


    Social Impact, what is it and can we do it? Is it relevant to insurance? Is it separate to insurance? We are reading a lot about social good and social impact, this got me thinking about the role of the insurance industry and the many give back campaigns.
