Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, GmbH announces the development of a new multinational platform, called Fairfax WorldWide^SM, that operates across the portfolio of insurance companies of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”). The platform, which will be rolled-out in phases, will enable the issuance of locally admitted insurance policies using Fairfax subsidiary licensing capabilities and other strategic partners. Fairfax WorldWide^SM, which will be modelled after Allied World’s existing Allied WorldWide® multinational platform, will consist of a global cross-functional group of dedicated people and a future leaning IT system. The platform will facilitate collaboration across the entire Fairfax network to deliver global policy placement services.

Karl Jordan, Senior Vice President of Fairfax WorldWide^SM, said, “Once fully implemented, Fairfax WorldWide^SM will provide us with the ability to collaborate across the Fairfax group of companies to seamlessly and reliably issue locally admitted insurance policies. Our global team is pleased to expand our network and leverage our sister companies across the world to better serve our customers.”

The new Fairfax WorldWide^SM brand and website launched on December 12, 2018 as phase one of the initiative. For more information on the products and services available, please visit www.fairfaxworldwide.com.
