FINANCIAL LINE

Our know-how in this insurance segment goes back many years to a time when this form of protection was still little known in the Italian market. Following requests by a number of major clients, including SOFIPA SpA (now Sofipa SGR SpA), we conducted extensive research, which provided us with the opportunity to attain an extremely high level of quality as regards both the policy ceilings made available and the brokerage of policy premiums. Given the interest shown by major international insurers, we have reduced our direct work with the English-speaking countries and have decided to improve our relationships with companies with legal representation in Italy: hence, we have made our international experience available to our clients by offering a policy governed by Italian law.
