CLICO International Life Insurance Ltd. (CIL) – Judicial Management Update

This website provides official updates from the Judicial Manager overseeing the affairs of CLICO International Life Insurance Company. (“CIL”) The Judicial Manager remains responsible for claim-related matters and the ongoing realization process across Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Judicial Management Appointment 

CIL was a complex insurance and investment management business incorporated in Barbados with branch operations in eight other jurisdictions in the Eastern Caribbean (“EC”). CIL’s business included traditional life insurance underwriting, group health benefit plans, and the sale of Executive Flexible Policy Annuities, which offered higher interest rates, shorter maturity dates, and redeemable features similar to deposit instruments issued by banks. The CIL group, together with its parent, CLICO Holdings Barbados Limited, included over 80 related companies and other ownership interests in businesses and properties throughout the Caribbean. CIL’s operations suffered from poor corporate governance, management, and investment practices. Many of its investment properties purchased to support its policyholder liabilities proved to be illiquid with net operating losses.

On April 14, 2011, the Supreme Court of Barbados appointed Deloitte Consulting Ltd. as Judicial Manager of CIL, pursuant to Section 57 of the Barbados Insurance Act. Further instructions were issued on April 29, 2011, to support the management and restructuring process.

Territories participating in the Ongoing Distribution for which Deloitte Consulting Ltd. is responsible

The territories participating in this distribution, known as the “E.C participating territories” are Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Montserrat.

Although Montserrat has a separate Judicial Manager, it has opted into the regional distribution. We will work collaboratively to facilitate the distribution of funds to Montserrat policyholders.

Anguilla however, has opted out of the regional pooling of assets and will not be included in this distribution. As a result, policyholders and claimants in Anguilla will receive distributions directly from assets realized within that jurisdiction.
