Affinity

JLT Asia's Affinity business unit focuses on the design and delivery of customised insurance solutions for groups of consumers – business associations, common interest groups, and industry associations by pooling collective knowledge and buying power. We draw upon the JLT Group's considerable global affinity broking capabilities and experience as necessary, to address our clients’ needs.

Our insurance programmes are usually delivered through a combination of direct sales, direct marketing and e-commerce to match customers and their culture with the right product. These include micro-insurance, a key feature of which is the incorporation of additional products to existing billings or other arrangements already in place such as utilities or retail providing a holistic solution to our clients.

JLT Asia will leverage its global experience and provide local technical assistance through all stages of programme development and rollout, often in partnership with a network of strategic service providers to ensure efficient and economic implementation. Given the long lead time and heavy infrastructure investment often involved in such developments, JLT stands ready to commit the necessary resources as part of a long term partnership with relevant and interested affinity channels or entities.

The following are programmes we have recently arranged for our clients in Asia:

• Bundled mobile phone all risks handset insurance for all new network subscribers
• Laptop insurance providing coverage against risks such as Theft, Acts of God and Civil Commotions
• Rent protection insurance for landlords, transferring the risk of loss of rental income suffered by a landlord to an insurer
• Motor vehicle financing support and insurance to help manufacturers, distributors and dealers sell more cars
