“This agreement confirms that Clarica’s Long Term Care Insurance is the clear first choice in the market,” said Barry Triller, executive vice president, Canadian customers. “Long Term Care Insurance puts customers in control with a full range of choices when they need them.”

“This deal brings another innovative insurance option to more than one million Investors Group clients,” said Steve Fitzhenry, President, I.G. Insurance Services Inc.

Triller said the agreement highlights Clarica’s commitment to leadership and continued top-line growth in its Canadian health insurance business, including its Personal Health Insurance and Critical Illness Insurance products. “Health insurance is an area of strength for Clarica. This agreement signals continued focus and expansion to meet emerging customer health needs, starting immediately with expansion of our network of Long Term Care specialists.”
