COMPANY HISTORY - GLOBALLY

ALICO, or Asia Life as we were then called, was started up in 1921 as the first company to offer life insurance to Chinese citizens. Since then we've come a long way, all the way round the world in fact, to reach 55 countries and 35 million customers.

And we've been through turbulent timeas as well as times of economic growth - as have our customers and their finances. Through periods like the 1929 Great Depression and the Great Inflation of the 1970's, our ALICO forefathers developed a staying power and prudence that set us in good stead, which is why the company that we are today is going to be around for a good few tommorrows as well - and policyholder's interests will be as well looked after as they've ever been.
