Inclusive Insurance & Emerging Markets

Helping insurers launch, scale and serve underserved markets

Strategic, regulatory and actuarial expertise for emerging and high-growth insurers, with a strong focus on microinsurance and inclusive models.

Overview

Affordable cover. Sustainable business.

Inclusive insurance only works when products are affordable for customers and financially sound for insurers. Xivoni helps clients get both right, from licensing through to growth.

We have supported micro-insurers, funeral insurers and burial societies in South Africa and Eswatini to design better products, strengthen pricing and engage confidently with regulators. Our experience also includes auditing micro-insurers.
