SA’s fourth-largest life insurer is cautious, however, due to the uncertainty around how the crisis in Ukraine will affect the global economic recovery

Momentum Metropolitan reported a 51% jump in first-half normalised headline earnings, as investment returns more than compensated for Covid-19 mortality losses.

The value of new business premiums rose 23% to R37bn.
