Leading edge risk products and services

We offer the full range of both traditional and alternative risk products.

We specialise in customising products on a client-by-client basis to ensure that our risk offering meets each client’s specific needs. We go out of our way to offer solutions to client-specific risk problems. Some examples include offering medical aid contribution waivers for limited periods, special disability definitions to suit circumstances, and flexibility on our maximums.

PRODUCTS SERVICES
Some examples of our latest product innovations are:

  • PHI Escalation Floor
    The annual escalation can be restricted to a minimum of 3% for clients who select benefit escalations of 5% or more to a maximum of CPI on the PHI and DIB products.

  • 3D Protector
    A South African first, this is an objective occupational lump sum disability product that has pre-defined criteria for assessment and still retains the crucial link to occupational ability.

  • Cell Captive/Alternative Risk Transfer (ART)
    We pioneered the way in ART and are a major player in this field. We have experience and expertise in cell-captive insurance, post-medical retirement liability cover and pensioner outsourcing.

  • Multinational Pooling
    As a partner of the Swiss Life Network, an international pooling arrangement, we offer international subsidiary companies a number of benefits including the waiving of medical underwriting.
We go out of our way to make our expertise relevant to clients. We offer:

  • Disability Management
    - Claims manager visits and presentations
    - Worksitevisits
    - Early intervention ability
    - National medical consortium
    - Assessment Only services

  • HIV/AIDS Modelling and Management
    As one of the founders of long-term insurance HIV modelling, our expertise in this regard is unsurpassed.

A professional and personalised service

We have a strong service ethic and we focus on finding new ways to do things. We have a non-negotiable broker and client focus and are recognized for our superior service.

To refine our distinction in the marketplace we are implementing an integrated administration platform across the group benefit businesses. The new administration platform is one of the best in the market and Momentum Collective Benefits will begin a phased migration of our existing clients onto the new administrative platform over the next 18 months.

This platform provides greater accessibility and flexibility for employers and brokers along with high levels of responsiveness. Brokers and employers may elect to access a variety of on-line tools and call centre support.

Our intention going forward is to encourage a partnership relationship with our brokers, one that offers win-win outcomes for all. We understand that some of the changes may require more than we have asked for in the past but we hope that with this opportunity we will be empowered to improve not only our service to you but also our positive impact on the results of your business.

Direct access to expertise

We have a highly experienced management team and market leading disability management skills. Brokers can tap directly into our risk expertise and experience.

Integrity

We have a fair and ethical approach in all aspects of our business. Most importantly, it is our policy to pay valid claims, so we will not rely on technical defenses in order to avoid the payment of claims.

Who should you contact?

Should you require further information or have any queries, please contact your broker or your Momentum consultant.
