About
Menora Mivtachim is Israel’s largest pension and motor insurance group, with more than NIS 440 billion in assets under managment. Over many years of activity, Menora Mivtachim has established a reputation as a reliable, responsible and stable group that provides its customers with professional and dependable service.
The Company was incorporated in Israel (then Palestine) and began operating in 1935 as the authorized representative of Lloyd’s in Israel, and from 1939 as an insurance company. In 1963, Menora Mivtachim Group was acquired by the Fishel Frish family and has been held by family members ever since. In 1982, the Company completed an initial public offering of its shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (TASE) and became a publicly traded company. Today, the Company is included in the TA-35 and TA-125 indices.
In recent years, Menora Mivtachim Group has carried out a number of significant acquisitions and business development initiatives in the insurance, pension and capital markets sectors, the principal ones being:
- 2004 - Acquisition of shares in Menora Mivtachim Pension and Provident Funds Ltd., which manages the new comprehensive pension fund “Menora Mivtachim Pension” (formerly “New Mivtachim”), Israel’s largest pension fund, as well as the general pension fund “Menora Mivtachim Supplementary” (formerly “New Mivtachim Plus”).
- 2007 - Acquisition of shares in Shomera Insurance Company Ltd., which is mainly engaged in motor insurance (compulsory and property) and other property insurance, and also holds Sinai Insurance Agency Ltd. and real estate assets through Shomera Real Estate Ltd.

- 2021 - Menora Mivtachim Energy brought Leumi Partners into its energy activity as a partner, with a 12.8% holding, at a company valuation of NIS 820 million. The energy activity was distributed as a dividend in kind to the shareholders of Menora Mivtachim, and “Teralight” was established, with Menora Mivtachim shareholders, Leumi Partners and the public as shareholders.
- 2022 - Acquisition of 50% of the leading insurance agency “Alifim”, which operates in a variety of general insurance lines, including motor and home insurance, as well as life, health and pension fields, at a valuation of NIS 280 million.
These developments have enabled the Group to address a diverse target audience and provide safe and attractive solutions. The Group’s many successes may be attributed to professional investment management, a business model that combines high-quality products, skilled and professional human capital, efficient service, and the development of creative and innovative solutions tailored to customers’ needs.
The Group maintains business relationships with thousands of insurance agents and licensed pension planners, who provide a wide range of services to the Company’s customers throughout Israel.
