A step forward in the Sri Lankan Life Insurance industry with the Amana Takaful Life Insurance Gold Fund
COVID-19 continues to crush lives, livelihoods and hopes of a world that looked forward to a new decade. The increase in mortality risk and significant uncertainty has awakened the public’s need for life insurance and has shown that the prospect of leaving loved ones behind without adequate financial support is no longer a low-probable event. The enormity of its effects on the life and health insurance industry alone is expected to linger for years after the pandemic has ended.
As people turn to life insurance to create wealth, combat uncertainty and secure the future they envision for themselves and their families, the response from the life insurance industry has been slow and far from revolutionary; its access still limited, and benefits still mediocre. Taking matters into our own hands, we at Amana Takaful Insurance have leveraged on our customer-centricity with a much-awaited insurance policy that caters to everyone; from all walks of life.

Our insurance plan allows your humble investments of today to grow considerably larger with time – of your own accord.
Raising the bar for life insurance even further, our Gold Fund allows the investment component of your premium to be invested in gold; providing significant protection against the effects of inflation and economic cyclical fluctuations. With our Gold Fund, you can even choose to walk away with gold bars at maturity, or its cash equivalent, securing it for generations to come; a revolutionary feature we provide for our revered clients.
