Softlogic Life Insurance convenes Investor Forum 2026

• Leads charge on Sri Lanka’s health protection future 

Softlogic Life Insurance PLC convened its Investor Forum 2026, under the theme ‘Big Moves, Big Impact’, bringing together Sri Lanka’s investment community to present its performance, strategic priorities and growth outlook. 

The company highlighted the strength of its resilient business model, underpinned by disciplined execution, a diversified product portfolio and a robust multi-channel distribution network.

A strong emphasis was placed on sustainability, with Softlogic Life outlining its commitment to responsible governance, long-term value creation and customer-centric solutions that support financial inclusion and resilience. 

The forum also showcased the company’s continued investment in technology and digital transformation, with advancements in IT infrastructure, data analytics and digital platforms positioned as key enablers of operational efficiency, scalability and enhanced customer experience.

The company surpassed Rs.40 billion in gross written premiums (GWP) in 2025 — the highest absolute growth in Sri Lanka’s life insurance industry and opened 2026 with GWP of Rs.12.3 billion in the first quarter alone, a 37 percent year-on-year increase. Market share stands at 19.3 percent. Total assets reached Rs.76 billion as at March 31, 2026. 

The forum featured a panel comprising Softlogic Life Managing Director Iftikar Ahamed, Chief Financial Officer Nuwan Withanage, Advocata Institute CEO Dhananath Fernando and Dr. Sithira Seneviratne, who specialises in orthogeriatric and peripoerative care. 

Together, they examined how Sri Lanka’s healthcare and insurance landscape is being reshaped by demographic change, rising medical costs, lifestyle shifts and the growing gap between the risks Sri Lankans carry and the protection they hold. Discussions ranged from global and Asian insurance trends to public policy, preventive health and the financial implications of an ageing population grounding the conversation in both international context and local urgency.

Softlogic Life’s growth trajectory has been further strengthened by its acquisition of Allianz Life Insurance Lanka and a US $ 15 million long-term capital investment from development finance institutions Norfund and OP Finnfund milestones that have enhanced the company’s scale, capital base and international credibility at precisely the moment the market needs a strong, committed focus. “Our commitment is to lead the evolution of healthcare protection in Sri Lanka building the solutions, partnerships and platforms that give people genuine confidence to live fully and plan ambitiously at every stage of life,” Ahamed said.

As part of the forum, Softlogic Life launched Health for Life — a first-of-its-kind healthcare protection feature in Sri Lanka that removes one of the most fundamental limitations in the market: the expiration of health coverage. 

“The insight behind Health for Life is straightforward: the moment people most need health coverage is often the moment traditional policies stop providing it. It gives customers the confidence to plan ahead, knowing their protection does not have an expiry date,” Softlogic Life Deputy CEO Indu Attygalle said.  

The launch was supported by an integrated brand campaign built around a powerful idea: that age is never a barrier to pursuing the passions (Honda Leda) that helps us live the best quality of life we aspire. The campaign features global cricket legend Wasim Akram alongside Sri Lanka’s largest digital content creator Charith Silva known as Wild Cookbook, two figures who, across generations and disciplines, embody the same truth.
