Our plans
Our health, life and income protection plans are underwritten by AWP Health & Life SA, an Allianz group company registered in France, and our travel cover and personal accident plans are underwritten by Griffin Underwriting Limited. With a William Russell policy in place, wherever you are in the world, you are backed by an established provider.
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.
We know your challenges, understand your needs, and share your vision. That’s the William Russell difference.
Health insurance
Life insurance
Getting the right amount of cover can be difficult in many countries, especially if you are not a permanent resident or naturalised citizen and 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.
