The Prudent Funeral Plan

Prudent Consulting Group established 1991 as a Liberty Life Franchise. 

Larry Brookstone took over managing of Discovery Advisory Services in August 2002.

Due to marketing limitations the company became an independent brokerage in March 2003 and changed the name to Prudent Advisory Services.

 

Apart from marketing products for Discovery, Sanlam, Old Mutual & Altrisk, Prudent developed it’s own Funeral Plan policy. The product was developed to meet a gap in the market and is administered by NHB and underwritten by Prosperity Insurance Company Limited.

 

NHB Administrators (established 1980’s started running 1999). Chosen by Prudent to be the administrator of the  Prudent Funeral Plan and assisted in the design of the product. NHB are administrators of products for insurers such as Constantia Life and Health Assurance Co Ltd, Prosperity Insurance Co Ltd, Momentum Insurance Co Ltd and Assupol Life.

 

Prosperity Insurance Company Limited (PIC) founded in 1951 was the first black-owned insurance co. to be licensed in SA by the FSB.

PIC is re-insured by Assupol Life and Assupol Life owns 50% of PIC.
