About Discovery 
Discovery Group is a South-African founded, global financial services organisation that uses a pioneering Shared-value Insurance model. We operate in health insurance, administration of medical schemes, life insurance, short-term personal and commercial insurance, savings and investment, banking, and behaviour-change programmes.   

We build market-leading businesses from the ground up and since inception, Discovery has been guided by a core purpose, to make people healthier and to enhance and protect their lives. Our Shared-value Insurance model can be applied to any capability in a Discovery-owned business or through our strategic partnerships. This has manifested in our behaviour-change platform, Vitality, being exported to over 40 markets across six continents with over 30 million members.  

How Shared-value Insurance works 
Our Vitality behaviour-change platform, at the centre of Shared-value Insurance, guides people to better health, driving and financial behaviour. Vitality combines insights from behavioural economics with clinical and actuarial science, driving, and financial management insights. This means that insurance and financial risks are no longer a function of a person’s circumstances, but rather a result of how they manage their behaviour across health, driving and financial management. The model creates ongoing shared value between clients, businesses, and society. 

Continued innovation and growth 
The Group continues to grow its reach. Latest developments include the launch of Amplify Health, Discovery’s joint venture with AIA Group, offering digital health solutions across Asia-Pacific. We also introduced Vitality Health International that rewards healthy living through shared-value health insurance for employer groups operating in other countries in Africa.   

Our core purpose reflects through positive behaviour change that creates value for clients, superior actuarial dynamics for businesses, and a healthier society.
