“AKG is recognised as the leading independent assessor of providers in the international bond market and used extensively by adviser firms when deciding who they wish to partner with.

We are delighted the financial strength of our offshore entities, commitment to the UK international bond market and our market leader position has once again been recognised by AKG.

Having a parent that is one of the oldest insurance companies in Canada, and one that has consistently demonstrated its commitment to our international businesses operating from the Isle of Man and Dublin, puts us at a distinct advantage when compared to alternative ownership models in this market.

Advisers need the assurance that providers are committed to the market for the long term. Our products are designed for the long-term needs of our customers, and we look forward to supporting our UK adviser relationships for decades to come.”

CEO Canada Life International & MD – Wealth Division, Canada Life UK
