Debt programme

Capital management framework



The group emphasises responsible capital management and allocation as a key enabler of its strategic objective of shared value creation for all stakeholders, including the maximisation

of shareholder value.

The group uses group equity value (GEV) as its primary measure of financial performance. Managing the capital base involves continuously reviewing the optimal level of capital, assessing opportunities to use alternative funding sources, and ensuring that returns on GEV (RoGEV) are maximised. An appropriate level of solvency is maintained to safeguard clients, regulators, and broader society.

The group has an integrated capital and risk management approach. The amount of capital required by each business is linked to its exposure to financial and operational risks, making risk management central to responsible capital allocation.

1 Elimination of Sanlam Life Insurance Limited participations.

The group introduced economic solvency as its primary internal solvency metric. This metric provides a better reflection of the group's risk profile than regulatory solvency.

For regulatory purposes, capital adequacy for the South African insurance operations is measured with reference to the regulatory standard formula.

Sanlam Group and Sanlam Life remained financially sound at 31 December 2025.





‌Overview and strategy

Financial results

Priorities and outlook

Capital management

Debt programme

Main contributors to SCR are market risk and life risk.

Main drivers of market risk are exposure to financial instruments (especially resulting from future product fee income being linked to policyholder investment portfolios) and participations, interest rate movements and the value of investment guarantees.

Main drivers of life risk include lapse assumptions, the level of interest rates as well as mortality/longevity assumptions.

The increase in market risk compared to prior years is driven by higher prescribed stresses, Equity Symmetric Adjustments, and increased exposure to corporate credit.

Dividend policy



Sanlam group declared a dividend of 485 cents per share (2024: 445 cents), above target of 4% real growth, without compromising group's financial strength.

The group dividend policy is implemented in terms of the group capital management strategy.

The policy aims to deliver stable real growth dividends for shareholders, subject to:

  • Available cash operating earnings

  • Allocated capital requirements

  • Working capital requirements

  • Liquidity and solvency requirements

  • Targeted credit ratings and approved gearing limits

  • Other internal risk appetites.

The Sanlam practice is to pay a single annual dividend to minimise the cost and administrative effort of distributing payments to its large shareholder base.
