Allianz remains a safe haven, even during the global downturn

In these uncertain times, we are thankful for the strength and financial security of our insurers. Our Global plans are underwritten by Hauteville Insurance Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGF and part of the giant Allianz Insurance Group.

Michael Heise, Chief Economist at Allianz says: "Strength, particularly in times of turbulence, is what the Allianz brand stands for." You can continue to trust William Russell and Hauteville to deliver financial assistance when your clients need it.

All the literature you require is in our on-line brochure library. Doing our bit to Save the Planet, we would like to limit brochure printing and encourage all our brokers to download soft copies instead. You can of course still request printed brochures.

Switching currencies mid-term

Please be aware that clients looking to make the most of the current exchange rates are not able to change the currency of their plans mid-term, but may do so at renewal.

Those clients not wishing to wait until renewal may re-apply at any time, but will be subject to 2009 premiums and conditions.
