MIKE Ross, the former chief executive of Scottish Widows has teamed up with
two other insurance heavyweights to launch an Islamic insurance business backed
by Middle Eastern investors.
Together with Dennis Holt, the ex-head of AXA UK, and Peter Nowell, a former
director with Alba Life, Ross wants to cash in on a growing market in insurance
compliant with Sharia Islamic law. They believe the business has the potential
to float on the stock market. |

As the first western joint venture insurer,
Allianz Indonesia is introducing insurance products which comply with
the rules of the Islamic law, Sharia. Allianz.com News spoke to Jens
Reisch, CEO of PT Asuransi Allianz Life, about growth prospects,
distribution strategies and the new branch office in Banda Aceh.
Allianz.com News: Why is Allianz offering Sharia insurance products?
Jens Reisch: We just listened to our
customers who increasingly asked for it! They are attracted by the
community principle that Islamic financial products represent. This is
why Sharia-compliant financial products have tremendous growth rates in
Asia and other parts of the world. The general market share of Sharia
insurance is still below one percent but it grew by 28 percent in 2005.
We expect Sharia-compliant insurance to have a market share of 20
percent in 20 years, like today in Malaysia.
