In the late 1940s, a group of visionaries set out to create an insurance company that would serve the people of Rhodesia. They founded the Insurance Company of Rhodesia (ICR) in 1946, and it quickly became a leading provider of insurance services in the region.

Over the years, ICR continued to grow and expand its services, and in 1959, it acquired a life assurance company, which led to the formation of the Assurances Company of Zimbabwe. The company’s success caught the eye of T.A Holdings, which had been founded as Tobacco Auctions Limited, and in 1969, they took over ICR.

In 1974, the company underwent a major transformation, as it shifted its focus to the farming sector. It was renamed the Rhodesia National Farmers Union Insurance Society, and it became known in the informal sector as Rhodesia National Insurance (RhoNat). However, the winds of change were blowing, and after the independence of Zimbabwe in 1980, the company once again changed its name to Zimnat Insurance Company, still operating under a composite license.

But the story doesn’t end there. In 1984, T.A Holdings made a bold decision to split the composite license and form two separate companies: Zimnat Insurance Company and Zimnat Life Assurance Company. This move allowed the company to focus on providing the best possible services in their respective areas of expertise.

Today, Zimnat Life Assurance is a leader in the Zimbabwean insurance industry, offering a wide range of life assurance and investment products to individuals, families, and businesses. The company’s journey has been one of resilience, innovation, and adaptability, and it continues to thrive and serve the people of Zimbabwe with distinction.

Annuities

Zimnat offers several types of annuity products for retirees. The Conventional Annuity with Guaranteed Escalation is an investment product where a single premium is paid and a monthly pension (annuity) is received by the retiree. The annuity is guaranteed for a minimum period and will continue to be paid for life after that period, even if the retiree passes away. The annuity increases regularly at a guaranteed interest rate chosen by the retiree, which is not linked to actual investment performance. This product is suitable for older retirees and protects them from adverse market fluctuations.

The With Profit Guaranteed Annuity is similar to the Conventional Annuity with Guaranteed Escalation, but also includes additional bonus additions to protect the retiree from the effects of inflation. The annuity increases annually at both the minimum guaranteed interest rate and an additional increase based on investment performance.

The Fixed Term Annuity is a type of conventional annuity product that is targeted at surviving children. The payment is guaranteed for a fixed term regardless of when the beneficiary dies and the payment ceases at the expiry of the policy term. The annuity will be increased regularly through bonus declarations by the company.

The Flexi Annuity is a unit-linked investment plan where the retiree can choose the level of monthly pension they would like to receive from a range provided by the insurer. The balance capital value of the annuity is paid out upon the retiree’s death. The annuity increases based on the investment performance of the underlying assets. The insurer manages the annuity to prevent the capital from being exhausted before the death of the retiree. The pensioner carries the investment risk, and pension payments are not guaranteed as they can be reduced depending on investment performance. The retiree can also benefit from critical mass in investment of lump-sum amounts, and retirement income is tax exempt.
