Regularly updated excess death statistics for assured lives are available at ASSA Covid Dashboard
The ASSA Death Claims Dashboard tracks data submitted by four of the country’s biggest life insurers, representing around 70% of South African individual life insurance premiums. Anja Kuys, chair of the ASSA CSI committee, says the aim of the dashboard is to provide life insurers with consolidated insights into the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on policyholders as measured by excess deaths to help them with accurate pricing of future policy benefits as well as ensuring sufficient capital reserves.
