Union Assurance continues to deliver best for customers
Union Assurance has once again declared actual dividend rates that are significantly higher than the guaranteed minimum rates published at the beginning of the year. This is a clear indication of the effectiveness of the Union Assurance policies as well as evidence of its stability.
The company declared a 10.5 percent dividend rate on their dividend-based policies for the year 2016. This is a significantly higher rate than the minimum guaranteed rate of 8 percent, which is even higher than the average market interest rate of 7.1 percent for the year 2016. Keeping its promise of delivering the best for the customers, Union Assurance has declared an interim dividend rate of 10 percent for all the dividend-based policies for the year 2017.
The company’s ‘With Profit’ policyholders who were in force as at December 31, 2016 will receive an annual bonus for 2016, which will be added to their policy. The company has been able to pay higher benefits to its valued policyholders due to its continued growth in 2016 by earning over Rs.8.3 billion in gross written premiums.
General Manager Life Operations Iroshini Tittagalla, commenting on the achievement stated, “The company’s performance in 2016 continued in an upward trajectory and it has considerably strengthened its position over that of previous years. The outlook for Union Assurance in 2017 continues to be extremely positive. The strong numbers this year demonstrates our determination to achieve and our commitment to reward the trust and confidence placed upon us by our loyal customers.”
