NEPSE sector
Insurers selling long-term policies, regulated by the Nepal Insurance Board.
14 companies, 4 other listed securities, 4 delisted or suspended. As of 27 August 2026.
The sector
Life insurers collect premiums for decades and pay claims over the same horizon, so their reported profit is a snapshot of a very long book.
The sector has been through a capital-raising cycle: minimum paid-up capital requirements pushed most of these companies through rights issues and mergers.
Before you buy: Insurance results are reported on a lag and the numbers that matter — reserves and premium growth — are not on the price screen. This is a sector where reading the quarterly report is the whole job.
