Allianz Financial Lines In Focus

2017 North America Update

It's hard to believe we're in the middle of June already — it's only the half-way point of 2017 and boy, have we been busy! Last week we sent the first edition of our newsletter to many of you who we've met over the last few months, recapping our product updates, thought leadership and personnel changes. For those of you who may have missed it, I've summarized our accomplishments here. For a more detailed look at what we've been up to, click the link at the bottom of this post for the full newsletter.

Financial Lines North America had a strong 2016! We closed the year with over 6500 total policies, and in the new products of Commercial D&O, FI and Cyber, we had over 200 primary wins and a total of 820+ policies bound. Our success stems from the tremendous support of our global, regional and wholesale customers. With your continued partnership and support, the momentum is strong for 2017 to exceed 2016! Allianz Group also shared in a very successful start to 2017. We continue to be one of the highest rated carriers with a AA rating by S&P, A+ by A.M. Best, and the #2 most valuable brand in the global insurance market! Click here to view complete details of the Allianz Q1 financial results.

We've had several exceptional new hires, bringing our total to 60+ dedicated Financial Lines specialists across North America. Our presence in North America covers each of the major zones, with key offices in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and Toronto.

We are excited about the opportunities the rest of 2017 will bring. We look forward to continuing our efforts together and thank you very much for the support.

Till next time!
