Canada Life International Limited (CLI) has been awarded an overall 5-star rating for the twelfth year in a row for its ongoing strength in the offshore investment market, in AKG’s Annual Review.
 
Canada Life’s two other offshore companies, Canada Life International Assurance (CLIA) and CLI Institutional (CLII), were also awarded the same 5-star rating, making it a hat-trick for the provider.
 
AKG’s review confirmed CLI’s continued prominence in the offshore investment market, as illustrated by the fact that it has retained a 5-star rating for more than a decade, including high ratings for its annual performance, service, and image and strategy.
 
AKG attributed the consistently high rating for service to CLI’s ongoing dedication to providing value for money products alongside outstanding levels of technical support. The review explains how the proposition is focused on delivering accessible technical support through a field and head office based team of tax and estate planning experts.
 
The report states that ‘Canada Life International remains amongst the leading providers’ and that despite changes in the shape of the UK distribution environment has successfully adjusted and, as a result, ‘it has maintained its market share in aggregate in a UK market that remains competitive.’ They concluded that ‘overall CLI has continued to deliver as a key component of the UK Canada Life offering, supported by a well capitalised and stable international parent.’
 
Sean Christian, Managing Director at CLI and CLII commented:
 
“These ratings demonstrate a history of excellence in the offshore market as well as the breadth of our offering. We are committed to our high degree of technical competency and believe that technical support for advisers remains critical. The report also reflects our ability to effectively meet the changing needs of our clients. I’m extremely proud of the teams we have and these ratings are a reflection of their dedication and expertise.”
