Stars
Digital Credit Card and Payment Services (MAX)
Following Clal’s 2023 acquisition of MAX, the Digital Credit Card and Payment Services segment became the group’s primary growth engine, posting double-digit annual expansion in non-banking cards through 2025 and a CAGR ~18% since 2022.
MAX holds a dominant market position with over 3 million active cards and a merchant network of ~70,000 businesses, driving fee income and cross‑sell opportunities across Clal’s insurance and asset-management units.
Integration into Clal’s ecosystem creates high-growth financial synergies—revenue uplift from payments and data monetization—while requiring continued capital for tech investment and credit‑portfolio expansion; FY2025 credit exposures rose ~22% year‑on‑year.
Health Insurance and Supplemental Coverage
This high-growth leader posts mid-to-high single-digit premium rises—2024 premiums up ~7%—as private health spending in Israel outpaces CPI; Clal holds a top-three share (~18% market) with modular individual plans and growing employer deals targeting tech-savvy customers.
Profitability is strong—health segment ROE ~16% in 2024—but it requires heavy investment: NIS 120–150m committed for digital platform upgrades and AI-driven wellness ecosystems over 2025–26, consuming operating cashflow.
Digital Non-Life Insurance (Direct P&C)
Clal’s Digital Non-Life Insurance (Direct P&C) is a Star: direct-to-consumer premiums grew at double-digit CAGR from 2023 through 2025, reaching ~NIS 1.2 billion in 2025, up ~35% vs 2022.
Growth is driven by Clal Button and telematics program Clal BEHAVE, which together captured roughly 28% of new policies among customers aged 18–34 in 2025.
The segment needs continued heavy investment—Clal increased marketing spend to 4.6% of premiums and allocated NIS 40m in 2025 to AI pricing and risk models—to fend off digital-only InsurTech rivals.
Pension and Long-Term Savings Assets
Pension and Long-Term Savings Assets: with assets under management at a record NIS 407 billion by late 2025, this segment is a core cash cow for Clal Insurance Enterprises, delivering steady fees and scale advantages.
Demographics and policy help: Israel’s rising population and mandatory pension contribution rates let Clal hold about 14% market share in long-term savings, sustaining low-cost capital and predictable inflows.
Growth vectors and risks: a strategic tilt to alternatives—private credit, infrastructure debt—offers higher returns (targeted IRRs 8–12%) but needs ongoing capital for deal sourcing and liquidity management.
- Assets under management: NIS 407 billion (late 2025)
- Market share in long-term savings: ~14%
- Alternative returns target: ~8–12% IRR
- Key risk: continuous capital for deal sourcing and liquidity
Corporate and SME Credit Insurance
Corporate and SME Credit Insurance grows at ~6% CAGR to 2025 as Israeli firms buy cover against geopolitical and economic shocks; market demand rose 12% in 2024 amid regional tensions.
Clal Credit Insurance holds a stable, specialized position, underwriting 35% of group premiums and serving as a key B2B partner with roughly NIS 1.1bn in annual premiums (2024).
High demand makes this a Star in Clal’s BCG matrix, but it requires disciplined underwriting and extra capital buffers—target solvency surplus +15% and stress capital for 1-in-100-year loss scenarios.
- ~6% CAGR to 2025
- 35% of group premiums (NIS 1.1bn, 2024)
- 12% premium growth in 2024
- Require +15% solvency surplus
Clal’s Growth Trio: Payments, Digital Non‑Life & Credit Insurance Powering Expansion
Clal’s Stars: Digital Payments/Max (CAGR ~18% since 2022; 3M cards; ~70k merchants; FY2025 credit exposure +22%), Digital Non‑Life (premiums NIS 1.2bn in 2025; +35% vs 2022; marketing 4.6%; AI spend NIS 40m), Credit Insurance (NIS 1.1bn premiums 2024; ~6% CAGR to 2025; 35% of group premiums; target +15% solvency).
| Segment | Key Metric | 2024–25 |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Payments | Cards/merchants | 3M / 70k |
| Digital Non‑Life | Premiums | NIS 1.2bn (2025) |

Cash Cows
Traditional Life Insurance (Risk and Savings)
As a cornerstone of Clal Insurance Enterprises, traditional life insurance (risk and savings) delivers roughly 20% market share in Israel and produced about NIS 1.1 billion in net premium income in 2024, giving a steady, massive cash stream.
This mature, low‑growth segment yields strong free cash flow used to fund Clal’s digital and credit ventures; operating margins exceeded 18% in 2024, lowering the need for new capital.
With well‑established distribution and IT infrastructure, promotional spend is minimal—marketing as a share of premiums was under 3% in 2024—freeing cash for higher‑growth units.
Standard Motor Insurance (Compulsory Cover)
Compulsory motor insurance is a mature, high-volume market in Israel where Clal Insurance Enterprises holds a top-three position among the Big Five; the segment accounted for roughly NIS 1.1 billion in gross written premiums for Clal in 2024, per company filings.
Growth is limited by regulatory price caps and fierce competition, so margins are compressed; still, mandatory coverage yields stable cash flows—Clal reported a combined ratio near 97% in 2024 for motor, showing underwriting breakeven plus investment income.
Clal prioritizes efficiency and cost-structure optimization—digital claims triage and fraud analytics reduced motor claims processing costs by an estimated 8% in 2023–24—so the large policy base converts to steady, passive earnings.
General Property and Liability Insurance
General Property and Liability Insurance forms a stable cash cow in Clal Insurance Enterprises’ non-life portfolio, serving ~1.2 million residential and commercial clients in Israel and delivering ~NIS 1.1 billion GWP (gross written premium) in 2024, supporting resumed dividends that year.
Operating in a mature market with ~3–4% annual premium growth, the segment prioritizes service quality and strict underwriting discipline to maintain ~12–14% combined ratio and steady profitability without pursuing aggressive expansion.
Institutional Asset Management (Nostro)
Clal Insurance’s institutional asset management (Nostro) ran returns of about 7.8% p.a. on own funds and reserves through 2025, outpacing peer median ~6.1% and generating steady fee income plus investment yields.
The unit produces high-margin, fee-based cashflows with low incremental infrastructure cost, acting as the group’s liquidity hub to service ~NIS 2.1 billion corporate debt and fund question-mark bets.
- 7.8% p.a. returns through 2025
- Peer median 6.1%
- Supports NIS 2.1bn debt
- High fee income, low incremental cost
Group Health Plans for Large Corporations
Group health plans for large corporations are a cash cow for Clal Insurance Enterprises, delivering steady B2B revenue with retention rates above 90% among Israel’s top employers and a market share near 28% in 2024.
Growth is slower than individual digital health offerings—around 3–4% annual premium growth in 2024—but acquisition costs per policyholder are 40–60% lower, cutting marketing spend and boosting unit economics.
These contracts generate predictable monthly cash inflows that supported Clal’s consolidated net profit margin stability in 2024, cushioning volatility from investment income swings.
- High retention >90%
- Market share ~28% (2024)
- Premium growth 3–4% (2024)
- Acquisition cost 40–60% lower
- Stabilizes net profit margins
Clal’s NIS 1.1bn cash cows and 7.8% asset returns fuel growth
Clal’s cash cows—traditional life (NIS 1.1bn net premiums, ~20% market share 2024), compulsory motor (NIS 1.1bn GWP, combined ratio ~97% 2024), P&C (NIS 1.1bn GWP, ~12–14% combined ratio) and institutional asset mgmt (7.8% return through 2025)—generate stable free cash flow used to fund growth units.
| Segment | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Life | NIS1.1bn, ~20% |
| Motor | NIS1.1bn, CR~97% |
| P&C | NIS1.1bn, CR12–14% |
