ABOUT PRUDENTIAL
At Prudential, we understand that building a brighter tomorrow starts today. As one of the world’s oldest and
strongest life insurers, we have been helping our customers create better and more secure futures for more than
170 years. Today, we serve over 25 million customers worldwide.

PRUDENTIAL AFRICA
Prudential has deep roots in Africa – in Africa, we issued our first life insurance policy in Uganda in 1932. We
were delighted to return to Africa with the launch of our new life insurance businesses in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda,
Zambia, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo and Cameroon. Already, we are one of the region’s fastest-growing life
insurers, with over a million customers.

OUR TRACK RECORD


Prudential has a long and proud history of keeping our promises to customers. In the First World War, we paid
claims on more than a third of the British soldiers who gave their lives. Following the sinking of the Titanic in 1912,
we paid claims in respect of 324 of the passengers.

Now the benefits of life insurance and saving from a company with over a 170-year track record of integrity and
financial strength are available to Ugandans.
