Madison Baby Present Policy

Parents’ love and affection for their newly born babies is immeasurable, this love can be expressed through “baby presents” when a baby is born into the family. Recognising the need for special gifts on such occasions, Madison Life Insurance Company Zambia Limited has the ultimate “baby present” – a present that parents and guardians will find difficult to resist buying for their precious babies – The Madison Baby Present Policy”, which can measure even the immeasurable love and affection!

This product can be purchased by a parent or guardian aged 18 to 60 as a gift to a baby aged not more than 10 years to provide a specified sum of money when the child attains age 18 years (the maturity of the policy). There is an inbuilt life assurance cover on the life of the parent or guardian who effects the policy to ensure that the child gets the maturity benefit at age 18 years, regardless of whether the parent or guardian will be living at that time. The product can even be purchased for the benefit of unborn babies. The main policy can also be taken up with additional optional riders for Lump Sum Death Benefit, Monthly Annuity Benefit and Inflation Fighting Premium Escalator Benefit. Furthermore, there is also an automatic participation in future profits of the Insurer to further enhance the value of the policy.
