King Price Insurance Actuarial Internship Programme
About Short-Term Insurance:
Short-term insurance is a very fast moving, challenging and competitive environment where innovation and
agility are the keys to success. The industry is driven by the pricing of risk which is based on an in-depth
understanding of exposure and affected by changes in solvency requirements, economic cycles, weather
patterns and market sentiments, all resulting in a strong reliance on the actuarial and data analytics skillset.
About King Price Insurance:
Located in Menlyn Corporate Park, Pretoria, King Price is the fastest growing insurer in South Africa and aims
to be on the forefront of innovation, technical ability and company culture. Confucius said that if you do what
you love you will never work a day in your life and we aim to be a testament to this.
Our motor insurance premiums decrease monthly as the value of your car depreciates, a world-first initiative
which provides a unique challenge and necessitates exceptional actuarial skills-sets. We also cover everything
from Buildings to Home Contents cover and we’re hard at work on extending the King Price market offerings
in the near future.

responsibility as you progress and assessing how well you fit in to our company and this line of work. After 3
months we will offer permanent employment to the strongest individuals, a 3 month extension to candidates
that we are pleased with and we could then also opt not to continue with struggling candidates. Please find
more details on the exposure you will receive on the last page.
