Policyholder Protection

Our life insurance companies are governed by their local insurance regulation regimes in the Isle of Man, Ireland and Guernsey. In each region, there are minimum solvency requirements that life companies must adhere to. Each life company in Utmost International must maintain a minimum solvency margin, an amount by which the company’s capital exceeds its projected liabilities, and this acts as a cover for potential losses. These solvency requirements are designed to provide a capital buffer to ensure Utmost International can withstand potential future adverse events.

Additionally, in each region, policyholder protection regimes are in place. These govern how client assets are held and managed, and the conduct of insurance companies. There are regional regulations and/or compensation schemes in place to protect clients.

The way in which Utmost International conducts its business, its size and strength, and the strict regulatory environment in which it operates combine to create strong business foundations.
