  • LeapFrog invests in AllLife
  • LeapFrog Investments has announced a ZAR 50 million (over $6 million) investment in AllLife, one of Africa’s most innovative insurance businesses. The announcement took place after World AIDS Day. AllLife, a pioneer in continuous underwriting, links insurance products to an adherence management program. The program ensures clients manage their health appropriately, routinely alerting them to potential health concerns and helping them take action to maintain their wellbeing – such as regularly testing and taking anti-retroviral medications. As a result, AllLife offers more competitively priced products, and covers people whom the insurance industry has often regarded as uninsurable. Read more

  • Clinton Global Initiative Feature: Interview with LeapFrog’s President, Dr. Andrew Kuper
  • “Microinsurance is one of the most unexplored markets and yet one of the greatest needs of the 21st century. In wealthy and poor countries alike, millions of uninsured people lie awake at night worrying about what will happen to their families or businesses in the event of an unanticipated shock such as a flood or family illness. While many of these households are both willing and able to pay for a basic safety net, most do not have access to affordable and quality insurance services. In developing countries alone, it is estimated that 1 billion people are currently seeking and willing to pay for life and health insurance products. Yet, only 3 percent of this market has been reached, despite its potential rewards for both businesses and local communities.” Read more
