3. Insurance Industry
The insurance industry was nationalized in 1961, by the government taking over a number of
insurance companies operating in the country at that time. These included a large number of
local as well as representative offices of foreign insurance companies. The state monopoly of the
insurance industry continued till 1986 with the Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation acting as the
only supplier of insurance. This was converted to a state controlled oligopoly with the creation of
the National Insurance Corporation. In 1987 as a result of the adoption of a market based
economic policy by the Government, the insurance sector was opened out to the private sector.
The industry was previously regulated by a Controller of insurance, but now is under purview of
the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka which has been vested with greater powers to regulate the
industry.
The insurance industry has performed well despite the global recession recording growth in the
long term and general insurance sectors. In 2009, the long term insurance contributed for Rs.
62,078,117 million and general insurance Rs. 15,441,944 million. In comparison in 2008 long
term insurance contributed for Rs. 48,405,115 million and general insurance Rs. 15,955,553
million. The insurance industry penetration is 10 percent.
The insurance industry is regulated in terms of the provisions of the Regulation of Insurance
Industry Act, No.43 of 2000 (RII Act). The Insurance Board of Sri Lanka (IBSL) was established
under this Act in order to develop, supervise and regulate the insurance industry in Sri Lanka.
Over the past year, the IBSL has embarked upon several activities to develop, supervise and
regulate the insurance industry with a view to ensuring that the best interest of the policyholders
and potential policyholders. During the previous year (2009), the IBSL has strengthened its
monitoring process in order to ensure the financial stability of insurance companies and
insurance brokers. Eleven of them are composite companies, five of them engage in General
Insurance business and two companies engage only in Long Term (Life) Insurance business.
When a company is registered to transact in both Life Insurance and General Insurance business,
those companies are recognized as composite companies. During the period under review, 43
insurance broking companies were registered. This economic performance has to be considered

during the last year. However, the overall gross written premium on insurance has not increased

Business in 2009 is added up to Rs. 57,919 million. In the year 2008, the overall gross written

company could be able to combine the strength of its major shareholders of AVIVA and NDB.
Since February 2006, AVIVA and NDB have been the major shareholders of Eagle with 51%

17. AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc has changed the perception of insurance agent by naming them as
“Wealth planners”. Now known as the “Team you can trust” the wealth planners are trained and
well equipped to meet both life and general insurance needs of customers. These will empowered
AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc‟s sales personal with skills to handle the entire spectrum of
insurance solutions as individual is likely require. The newly transformed wealth planners have
been armed with world class training and guidance, building on the investments the company has
made over the decades to professionalize the sales force. Wealth planners are a new category in
the insurance industry and will be competent to offer the best possible advice and solutions to
satisfy most financial needs of clients. Customers can have the advantage of a single wealth
planner providing whatever insurance solutions they need.
Company has to compete not only with other insurance companies but also with Banks, Finance
Companies etc. That is because of different forms of substitutions. Those are Product – for
Product substitution, Substitution of need and Generic substitution. We can also see that some
companies have divided their market and compete on different bases. These strategic groups can
be seen as Motor Vehicle Insurance, Life Insurance, Marine Insurance, Fire insurance etc. In Sri
Lanka most of the companies have focused on motor vehicle insurance and life insurance.
Janashakthi Full Option, Ceylinco on the Spot and Sri Lanka Insurance Motor Plus are three
competitors for the motor insurance. But we can see that AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc is mainly
focusing on the life insurance and wealth management. When we take life insurance they have to
compete with Ceylinco Life, Sri Lanka Insurance Life Insurance, Janashakthi Life Insurance and
Union Assurance etc. But they have to compete with Banks and other financial institutions for
their wealth management plan. Most of the banks and financial institutions have introduced
pension plans for the same strategic group people who do not have pension, gratuity, provident
fund and Employee‟s Trust Fund. In Sri Lanka most of the people save their money in banks.
Now banks also giving the insurance coverage for their account holders. NSB Pension + and
BOC Infinity are two examples for the same kind of AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc‟s Future gain,
Life bond and Live smart investment plans. Therefore AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc has to change

18. the perception of Sri Lankan people towards the investment in insurance company. So there is a
tendency that people may select government banks to invest their funds because of the bad
experiences about the private institutions. Therefore AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc has to capture
the market by winning the hearts of the Sri Lankan people.
Aviva NDB uses several methods to advertise their products and services. For example they do
promotions through Television advertisements, Newspaper advertisements, Cutouts, Brochures,
Web, T-Shirts and Caps etc. Aviva NDB‟s core brand values represented in the tri colored logo
that will drive Aviva NDB is Progressiveness, Integrity, Performance and Teamwork.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
AVIVA NDB Insurance Plc designed its CSR projects strategically in order to provide benefits
to all of its stakeholders, employees, customers and society as a corporate role model and pioneer
of CSR in the Sri Lanka. At the period of Eagle Insurance the company allocates a minimum of
1% of annual profits for CSR projects and after strategic alliance as Aviva NDB, they hope to
continue this policy. As pioneers in the insurance industry they are prudent fund managers.
Because of that they have set up a trust fund to continue their CSR projects in Sri Lanka.
Former Managing Director Eagle Insurance Plc, Deepal Sooriyarachchi, explained,”CSR is
part of the value system which our corporate culture pivots in and our way of life. It goes beyond
business objectives to create a continuous impact on society. Being ethical and socially
responsible is a fundamental core value of the company.”
Head of Marketing & Planning, Amal Perera Explained,” The Company CSR-endeavors are

whole.”

Banc-assurance Partnership
As an extension of Eagle‟s banc-assurance partnership with Sampath Bank, two Life Insurance
products were launched for Sampath Bank customers who were previously able to obtain
General Insurance products underwritten by Eagle. Now both Life and General Insurance
products are available at Sampath Bank Branches.
This is a value added services to Sampath bank‟s customers. Now General Insurance banc-
assurance products are already being marked successfully through the branches. Customers now
have the added facility to obtain Life Insurance products for investments and financial protection
needs. The banc-assurance partnership with Sampath Bank will make things so much easier for
customers who wish to enjoy banking services whilst obtaining Life and General Insurance
products without a hassle.
With the launch of the Life insurance range, customers can avail themselves of two financial
solutions. One financial solution offered, is ideal for customers who cannot commit for a long
term premium outlay. Premium payment is only for five years for a policy that spans 10 to 30
years. Life covers five times the annual premium .with this product one can now ensure that his
or her child‟s dream of higher education is secure or plan ahead for a comfortable retirement.
The other financial solution available through this banc-assurance partnership is a product which
ensures adequate financial protection of policyholders who may presently own an insurance
policy. This product also offers customers a limited premium paying period. This non premium
paying period helps policyholders enjoy peace of mind, allowing them to meet other financial
commitments with complete confidence.
