Our Risk Planning Solutions Guide

Life Cover

Life cover ensures that your financial responsibilities are taken care of in the event of your death. It replaces the income you would have earned during your working life, ensuring that your family is financially secure.

Have peace of mind and know that your loved ones and family are financially provided for.

Having life cover in place will ensure that your surviving spouse, partner or nominated beneficiary of your children:

  • Can settle significant debt like a bond, credit card debt or car repayments.
  • Can pay for children’s education.
  • Have enough money available to help pay for living expenses.

We have both local and offshore life cover options.

Disability Cover

Disability cover ensures that you’ll continue to have an income, even if you're no longer able to work due to illness or injury. It provides for expenses that occur because of the disability suffered, for example, alterations to your vehicle or home. It isn’t just about planning for the worst to happen. It’s a positive step toward protecting your financial future.

Income Protection 

It provides an income if you’re unable to work due to illness, impairment or disability

Most people plan and dream based on the assumption that they’ll continue to earn an income until they retire. But what if something happens to you and you’re unable to work? Income certainty determines your quality of life and your family’s financial security.

Without an income you would be left struggling to pay for your financial expenses like school fees or bond repayments. Income protection cover will give you peace of mind that your financial expenses will be taken care of.

Protect your children's education in the event of something happening to you

We cover your children's education fees if you die, or become ill or disabled. The Global Education Protector from helps to pay for children's education from crèche to university, locally or abroad.

In most households, short-term insurance premiums form a large part of the budget. If you can save on these premiums and get the same or better cover, you can then use that “saved” premium in other areas of your wealth building strategy.
Vehicle insurance is no longer an option, it’s as essential as the fuel in your tank and the air in your tyres. With so many cars on our roads these days, the chances of being involved in an accident are higher than they’ve ever been. Unfortunately we are also more at risk of becoming victims of hijackers and stolen vehicles.
Afken offers three types of cover for your vehicle:
  • Comprehensive (includes Accident Cover, Third Party, Fire & Theft).
  • Third part fire and theft
  • Third party only
Household Contents Insurance is absolutely vital. Just think about everything you have in your home, from your furniture to your curtains, appliances to your artworks and think about how much time and money you spent on every single item. Now imagine how much it would cost to replace all of that.
We offer cover for general valuables, those items you usually wear or carry while away from home ‘like your clothing, briefcase or handbag. You can also specify individual items like cell phones, laptops, spectacles, bicycles, jewellery etc. to be insured for an amount of your choice, remember, it’s often the smallest things that are the most valuable so don’t neglect to insure them.
Homeowners Insurance (also called Building Insurance) is designed to protect you financially against accidental loss or damage to the physical structure of your property.
