Insurers
We help our 34 million customers save for the future and manage the risks of everyday life, with strong businesses in 16 markets in the UK, Europe, Asia and Canada.
Our overarching purpose is to free people from the fear of uncertainty and we have a clear strategy to deliver our investment thesis of cash flow plus growth by always putting our customers first.
Did you know that our oldest constituent company began offering fire insurance in 1696? Or that Winston Churchill took out a policy with one of our companies in 1896?
Many of our constituent companies were pioneers of insurance cover, developed in response to changing customer needs. For instance, we were the first to offer accident insurance to protect people from the dangers of travelling on early (and often perilous) railways, and at the forefront of insurance developments necessitated by the arrival of the motor car.
Since the first days of Legal & General we have maintained a deeply embedded desire to provide an honest and diligent service and to do the right thing.
Practice makes perfect, and for over 175 years we made sure that we are always here for our customers, providing our best possible products, a clear, fair service and a safe pair of hands for your money.
We were founded in 1836 and today we help over 10 million people globally with saving, investing, building retirement income and insuring.
Pulse specialises in arranging insurance to cover difficult to place and non-standard risks. Many cases seen by Pulse will have been previously declined by other insurance companies.
Since it was formed in 1998, Pulse has grown into a thriving business.
Unlike many other companies, we are able to offer cover for many types of non-standard risks, not just those with pre-existing medical conditions. These include individuals who, whilst perfectly healthy, are experiencing difficulty in obtaining the cover they require due to the nature and / or location of their work. Other clients include those who take part in hazardous pursuits such as motor sports or flying of helicopters or other light aircraft or require cover for a large sum assured. We also consider cover for non UK nationals and / or residents.
We recognise that each case that is presented to us is different and for this reason we offer a bespoke service, which is tailored to the needs of each individual case. We pride ourselves on our personal customer service and your call will always be answered by an experienced member of staff, who will be able to help you through the process for obtaining cover. We do not operate a call center (or use a push-button answering service).
We pride ourselves on our caring, considerate, professional and innovative approach. Our commitment to finding a solution for our clients means that we are able to provide indications of cost for over 75% of the enquiries we receive.
Two mutuals with one simple aim - to listen to their customers' needs and help them financially. It's what Engage Mutual and Family Investments have been doing successfully for many years.
Engage Mutual and Family Investments were built on solid financial principles - giving customers products and services they could trust and rely on. These principles are the same today as they were when both companies were formed in the 1970s and 80s. Engage and Family have now merged to become OneFamily.
OneFamily is owned by its customers, which makes it easier for us to listen to them and shape our policies to their needs. That's what makes us different.
We’re now one of the largest mutuals in the UK, serving around one in 12 families, with more than £6 billion of assets under management
PruProtect was launched in 2007 as a joint venture between Prudential and Discovery, the global insurer that invented Vitality. In 2010, Discovery increased its shareholding to 75% and has now taken full ownership of PruProtect. As a result, PruProtect has changed its name to VitalityLife.
VitalityLife’s parent company, Discovery, is a global insurance leader
Discovery is a global financial services business. It works in life insurance, private medical insurance and general insurance, as well as in investments and credit. It generates £4.5bn of annual revenue and, if it were listed in the UK, would rank in the FTSE100. In 1997, Discovery introduced Vitality, the world’s first incentive-based wellness programme linked to insurance. Today, Discovery has over 4.4 million customers across four continents, with already more than 800,000 members in the UK.
Bright Grey and Scottish Provident become Royal London
Since Henry Ridge and Joseph Degge decided to launch a friendly society in 1861, the Royal London Group has gone through some dramatic changes. Today we’re the UK’s largest mutual life and pensions company, with over 5 million customers and half a million members.
Our Over 50s Life Cover is a simple way to leave your loved ones money when you die, as a gift or to help with the cost of your funeral. So it’s worth comparing our Over 50s Life Cover payouts with others.
95% of the time we would pay out more money than SunLife
Not all over 50s life insurance providers are the same. With us, you get safety features for tough times. You have the flexibility to reduce your payments so you don’t lose all your cover, rather than stop paying. And our cover has Protected Payout so if you have to stop paying, you could still qualify for money for your family when you die. We are the only provider to offer this protection.
