CHANNEL MIX
Do you currently have at least one insurance product purchased through
one of the following channels? (International Accenture survey, 2010)
•
Internationally, consumers most commonly
purchase insurance products from insurance
agents.
•
However these figures, while large, are declining
as the Internet eats ravenously into the agent’s
market share.
― This trend is strongest in the UK and
Germany. Only in Brazil is the agent holding
his own.
CHANNEL GROWTH
The Internet is growing faster than any other distribution channel.
How do you expect to purchase or renew insurance in the next 12 months?
(International Accenture survey, 2010)
HOW CLIENTS SEARCH
Mirroring other industries, insurance clients have become truly “multimodal”.
20% say they use more than 4 interaction points to search for insurance

THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF OUR MARKET
Mining unrest and industrial actions
Sluggish economic growth
The weakness of the Rand
Not recovering expenses
Currently in a soft cycle, premium level too low
High level of claims in 2012
INTERMEDIATION DECLINING
Composition of top 10 insurers
•
Over a five-year period the intermediated
channel has lost 5.7% of its top 10 share
and is the only channel not growing its
share (still has the highest share at 71.3%).
•
The Cell Captive insurers have increased
their share the most (2.9%), followed by the
Direct insurer (2.5%) and then
Bancassurance (0.5%).

• CPI is expected to increase to around
5.5% by July, averaging 5.9% in 2013
and ending the year at 5.4%.
• Provincial GDP growth strongest in
Gauteng and Western Cape.
• Provincial GDP growth weakest in
Northern Cape and Limpopo.

SPEND BY GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRIES TO BENEFIT
NEW GROWTH PATH
•
Massive investment in infrastructure as critical driver of jobs.
•
R4 trillion investment completed.
•
The framework identifies investments in five key areas namely:
•
•
Energy
•
Transport
•
Communication
•
Water and housing
Sustaining high levels of public investment in these areas will create jobs in construction, operation and
maintenance of infrastructure.
•
Trigger to build a local supplier industry for the manufacture of the components for the build-programme.
•
Specific measures, particularly changes to procurement policy and regulations, are identified to ensure that
this is achieved.
•
Risks include the still fragile global recovery; competition and collaboration with the new fast-growing
economies; as well as competing interests domestically.

TREATING CUSTOMERS FAIRLY
Fair treatment of
customer is
central to the firm
culture.
•
•
•
•
•
Products and
services are
designed and
targeted to
appropriate
customer groups.
Customers are
given clear
information
before, during
and after the
time of
contracting.
Advice is suitable
and takes account
of the customer’s
circumstances.
Products
perform as
firms have led
them to
expect.
Outcomes based approach requires subjectivity, no rules are defined.
Important to define “Fair” in the context of your business.

Customers do not
face unreasonable

SANTAM COMPLAINTS
SERVICE FAILURES
HELLO PETER COMPLAINTS (JUNE 2013)
Panelshop repair failure is core concern.
Policy interpretation failures:
•
Intermediary blamed for not informing the
client of what is covered and not covered.
•
Clients unaware of contents of their policy
documents. Repudiations of insufficient
security measures and not specifying items
like a pair of earrings and GPS resulting in
frustration and anger from clients.

NEED FOR SOPHISTICATED AND INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
According to the 2011 Accenture Global Risk
Management study, 98% of respondents said
risk management is a higher priority today than it
was two years ago. More than 80% of companies
surveyed also consider their risk area to be a key
management function that helps them deal with
marketplace volatility and organisational complexity.
