Mission statement: 

Serving Africa's people through affordable financial solutions that create financial growth and security
Vision: 

Creating prosperity for Africa's people
This is a long term vision, which places the financial security of people and communities at the core of our agenda.
History: 

There are few companies whose history so closely mirrors the progress of South Africa and its people as Metropolitan.

During more than a century, we've grown from being just a funeral policy provider to becoming the first company on the JSE to pass into black hands on the eve of our first democratic decade.

Today, we are the leading financial services company serving the lower and middle income markets. A truly diversified operation with an integrated range of offerings across the spectrum.

Our progress has been hard fought and we are mindful of the needs, aspirations and historical context of those we service. Our vision, creating prosperity for Africa's people, clearly reflects our commitment to continue meeting the changing and evolving needs of our customers.

Our long history of financial excellence continues, though good times and bad, to distinguish us. But it is the steady evolution of our leadership, people, approaches, products, infrastructure and culture, driven by the spirit of our powerful brand slogan - Together we can - that signposts our next century of achievement in South Africa.

There has seldom been a dull moment in Metropolitan's history, which spans more than a century.

In 1979, Metropolitan (which had been known as African Homes Trust until then) became one of South Africa's top financial service providers when Sanlam (African Homes Trust's parent company) decided to rationalise its insurance interests by merging Homes Trust with Metropolitan Life (another of its subsidiaries). A new giant in the life insurance market was formed - Metropolitan Homes Trust Life, with assets of over R250m and an annual income of R75m. The new company had about 4 million insured lives, about one out of every six South Africans, by far the largest number in the industry.

Today Metropolitan Holdings Limited is a well-established, truly African-based business serving more than 12 million clients. It provides aspirational individuals - and those who represent them - with customised financial service packages that protect and enhance their assets. The profile of Metropolitan's shareholders, customers and staff share ownership are amongst the most representative in the financial services sector in South Africa. Looking forward, Metropolitan is constantly researching and refining its product range to achieve enhanced value for its customers. At present, we're putting special emphasis on designing appropriate products for those people who have previously not been able to participate in long-term savings. Because at Metropolitan, our mission is to serve Africa's people through affordable financial solutions that create financial growth and security.
