Commenting on the announcement, Derek Spafford, General Manager & Chief Agent for HDI Global Specialty said:

“We are pleased to be partnering with ARAG in Canada. Their reputation is well founded and I’m confident the new extended partnership will offer a compelling proposition to Canadian brokers and the market.’’

All existing policies will be unaffected until their expiring date at which point HDI Global Specialty will become the new insurer on those policies.

“This expanded but local partnership should support our desire to provide rapid response and increased local underwriting capacity to our business partners,” added Haynes.

“It’s a win-win for our partners, their clients and ARAG.”
