The group manages assets of KES 194.2 billion and serves over 1.6 million clients.
The group offers insurance, pensions, investments, and trust services across East Africa. Its life assurance business, established in 1964, reached its 60-year milestone in 2024. ICEA LION holds an AAA (KE) financial strength rating and maintains a strategic partnership with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group.
