Hansard International specializes in unit-linked savings and investment programs, often referred to as the “English Method of Investing” in some countries. This article will analyze Hansard’s reliability, analyze its main products, and discuss their suitability.
Reliability of Hansard International
Hansard has been providing financial products and services to clients around the world since 1987. Unlike many other unit-linked insurance companies, Hansard is a public company with shares listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2006. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) acts as its auditors.
Hansard Insurance operates in multiple jurisdictions with over $1 billion in assets under management and serves over 40,000 clients worldwide. Financial viability also makes a significant contribution to ensuring the confidence and comfort of the company’s customers.
Hansard issues insurance policies through its registered offices in the Isle of Man (International) and the Bahamas (Worldwide). These are two highly regulated and well recognized offshore financial centers where the offices of leading world banks and insurance companies are located. All divisions are part of the Global group of companies. At the moment, for international investors, including those from the Russian Federation and the CIS countries, policies are issued in the division of Hansard Worldwide.
