When your health is on the line, your finances shouldn’t be
Protect Your Future with Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover provides a financial safety net if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, a heart attack, stroke, or other life-altering conditions.
While medical aid helps cover hospital bills, it’s the lump sum from your critical illness policy that helps you survive financially—covering living costs, debt repayments, recovery expenses, and more.
What Is Critical Illness Cover?
Critical illness cover (also known as severe illness cover) pays out a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered critical illness. Unlike life cover, it’s designed to support you while you’re still alive, helping you and your family stay financially afloat during a tough time.
You can use the payout for:
✔ Medical treatment not covered by medical aid
✔ Day-to-day living expenses while off work
✔ Modifying your home or lifestyle to suit your condition
✔ Paying off debt or securing your children’s education

Real People,
Real Financial Freedom
"Perennity Wealth Management is knowledgeable and passionate about creating wealth and financial freedom for clients. They have a genuine interest in client’s financial needs.
Unlike other financial advisors who mainly focus on selling financial products, they conduct risk assessments for the entire portfolio, including real estate.
They also go beyond their areas of responsibility by assisting clients or referring them to people with expertise in a particular field.
I’m thrilled to have Perennity as a financial advisor firm.
"I've had financial advisors for 14 years and they just sold me policies and asked for referrals. On the other hand, Perennity Wealth Management has managed to sort out my portfolio in one month in a manner that I understand.
Great work indeed."
"For the first time I have a wholesome conversation with a financial advisor without them trying to push products on me, but instead demonstrate a thorough understanding of good personal finance principles and sharing with me his insight.
Such has been my interaction with Perennity Wealth Management in a nutshell."
"Nyiko is a highly driven and extremely knowledgeable wealth manager. I have worked very closely with him for 3 years and have seen firsthand, that his passion for wealth management and markets is only exceeded by his deep and authentic desire to help people achieve their goals.
A great wealth manager. Great company"
"Nyiko has an acute understanding of investments and is able to provide sound advice that is tailored to your needs. More importantly, he takes time to understand who you are so his services truly feel personalised.
It is always a pleasure working with Nyiko and Perennity Wealth Management."
“Nyiko is very well versed in the topics of personal finance and entrepreneurship. What I appreciate most about our relationship is that I know I can speak to him about elements of my finances that are outside of the scope of what financial services providers typically can speak to.
Nyiko has been my financial advisor since 2014, and when we got disconnected during the confusion brought about by my emigration to the UK, I can remember going to great lengths to get back into contact with him in particular once I was back on my feet again, as I knew that nobody else was as suited to helping me achieve my financial goals as he was.
In a nutshell, this is Nyiko, my financial advisor and coach.
Through this relationship, I have observed a radical transformation in my investment decisions and I am confident that I am on track to retiring well, at an age where I will be able to embrace and enjoy my retirement years fully.
Kudo to him and Perennity Wealth Managementâ€
