KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 7): The Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA) is committed to addressing financial protection for uninsured and underinsured groups in Malaysia through takaful products, and to expanding the takaful industry's penetration rate to 40% by 2028.
well, all i can say is EPF has been raising stakes quietly. in 2022 annual report, EPF had 12.73% stake. in 2023, EPF has 15.11% stake. by now, it should be higher than 15.11% since EPF has been accumulating in 2024 too.
More than 102,301 KWSP contributors bought takaful products using the KWSP platform
Since its launch in December 2023, more than 102,301 KWSP contributors have purchased as many as 118,166 policies and takaful products using the platform.
Protection includes life insurance as well as critical illness at an affordable premium.
According to New Straits Times, KWSP has introduced important improvements to focus on police management and a certificate that includes further protection over one year.
The KWSP platform has also been level-up and it not only offers features such as authorised policy management but easy recurring payments for long-term protection.
Also, there is this civil servant pay rise of about 20-40% coming into effect this Dec 2024. There are about 1.7 million civil servants in Malaysia. This will definitely benefits Takaful!
for sure it will be good. because insurance premiums are rising, investment return will reflect higher yield bond, good car sales, civil servant salary increments, takaful newly launched KAOTIM and etc... all pointing to good coming quarterss
TAKAFUL’s 1QFY24 results met expectations. With sustained demand for its products, we believe the stock could be further highlighted for its relatively lower exposure to detariffication spurred competition. Maintain our forecast but raise our TP by 13% to RM4.35 as we roll over our valuation base year and upgrade it to OP (from MP). We feature TAKAFUL as one of our Shariah Top Picks.
Takaful is backed by Bank Islam, every year revenue and net profit go up steadily, steady growth, steady dividend and is operating in a country where the muslim population increases every year. And takaful licenses are limited in Malaysia, so it's protected so to speak.
Where do you find a steady/growth business like this lying around at PE 9? It will go up for sure. Their investment return will increase in the coming quarters too, at higher yield which they invested 1-2 years ago that is now maturing.
This year is Takaful 40th year anniversary since inception. Based on their financial strength, it is reasonable to expect something big end of this year!
people dont like steady, people like penny stock that could give them illusion of making high profit in the shortest period, but people always forget about the risk that could wipe them out.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has required insurance and takaful operators (ITOs) to begin providing a co-payment option for their medical and health insurance and takaful (MHIT) products by September this year.
