Established in London in 1848, we began life as the Mutual Investment and Loan Association. From humble beginnings, the company quickly grew and was soon no.1 in the UK. Today we're the leading European life insurer in Asia.

At the heart of this success is our exceptional ability to listen. By listening carefully, we're able to understand our customers' unique needs. Learn more about Our Philosophy.

This ability is just as relevant in Asia, where we have been established for over 80 years. Indeed, in a region characterised by distinctive cultures and languages as well as economies that range from the newly emerging to the highly developed, it is even more vital that we listen closely to the needs of the people. And the formation of Regional Head Office in Asia in 1994 clearly demonstrates our determination to make this happen.

Today, we have an extensive network of staff and agents with operations in 13 markets.
