Description:

guardrisk.co.za rocketreach.co/guardrisk-insurance-company-ltd-profile_b5a52494f9c62c8e Guardrisk is a South African specialist insurance group, founded in 1993 and widely recognized as the pioneer and market leader of cell captive insurance in Africa — a model that allows companies to run their own "branded" insurance business under Guardrisk's licensed infrastructure instead of building a full insurer themselves. Headquartered in Sandton, Johannesburg, the group operates licensed insurers for life, non-life, and microinsurance, plus international cells in Mauritius and Gibraltar, and employs around 530 people. It has been wholly owned since 2013–14 by Momentum Group (JSE: MTN-listed MTM), which acquired it for R1.6 billion. For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, Guardrisk managed total assets of R68 billion and over 240 active cells, generating net revenue of ~R2 billion and pre-tax trading profit of ~R1 billion
