Our plans
Our health, life, income protection, and personal accident plans are underwritten by AWP Health & Life SA, an Allianz group company registered in France. With a William Russell plan in place, wherever you are in the world, you are backed by an established provider with an insurer from the largest group of financial services companies in the world.
Our service
What sets us apart is our personal touch. We believe in named advisers not impersonal call centres, and straight, honest communication rather than pages of small print. We are a boutique insurance provider, fully independent, and free from the demands of shareholders or investors. Our only obligation is to you.
That’s the William Russell difference.
Health insurance
Life insurance
Getting the right life insurance cover can be difficult, especially if you are not a permanent resident or naturalised citizen. With our life plans, you can also renew annually without fuss.
Income protection
Financial security matters, regardless of where you’re living. With our income protection plan, you can receive a regular income benefit if you become unable to work due to an illness or injury. This way, you can protect the lifestyle of your family.
