What Anadolu Hayat Emek does

Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik A.Ş. is a publicly listed Turkish life insurance and pension company, founded in 1990 as Turkey's first life insurer and traded on Borsa İstanbul under the ticker ANHYT. It is majority-owned (64%) by Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş., with Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta holding 20% and a public float near 15%. The company serves individual and corporate customers through individual pensions (BES), mandatory auto-enrollment BES, life insurance, and personal accident insurance, distributing a range of asset-class-specific investment funds including equity, debt, participation (Sharia-compliant), gold, silver, and sustainability-themed funds.

The company's technology backbone is a digital ecosystem anchored by the AHE Online portals (individual and corporate), the AHE Mobil mobile application, the FonMatik ROBO robo-advisor that automatically rebalances pension allocations based on risk profile, and a paperless Dijital BES enrollment workflow running on tablet devices. Accessibility is enabled via an integration with BlindLook audio simulation across web and mobile. Underlying distribution is multi-channel: the Türkiye İş Bankası branch network as the primary bancassurance channel, complemented by 400+ independent agents, a dedicated direct sales team, 9 regional directorates across Turkey, and a branch in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, plus digital distribution through both AHE Online and the İşCep mobile banking app.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring life insurance premiums, fees on individual and auto-enrollment BES management, and pension fund management and performance returns. Pricing on BES is contribution-based (voluntary contributions plus a 20% government match, capped at 79,272 TL for 2026), while life insurance premiums are risk-based and quote-driven. A capital base of 430,000,000 TL (raised in 2016) and inclusion in the BIST Sustainability Index as the first insurer/pension company on the index underscore its capital adequacy and ESG positioning.
