OVER 65 YEARS OF LIFE

A PHILOSOPHY & A DREAM: The formative years.

“If you give a man value, if you give a man service, he is bound to support you" - Philosophy of Cyril Duprey founding father of CLICO.

Since 1949, CLICO St. Lucia, under the skillful and pioneering marketing initiatives of the Superintendent of Agencies, Mr. Cyril Monsanto, a St. Lucian by birth, has enabled the average citizen to build a secure future by providing life insurance for himself and his family.

Mr. Monsanto, who was considered at the time the builder of Colonial Life, dominated the early development of CLICO, focusing his energy on providing the Company with a strong Agency Force.

At that time, the insurance operation in St Lucia comprised of an Administrative department and small sales force. The main office was located on Micoud Street, Castries. Offices were later opened in Vieux Fort and Gros Islet.

The Agency experienced minimum success during the period 1949 – 1994. On January 1994, CLICO International Life Insurance Limited (CIL); a subsidiary of CL Financial, commenced business in Barbados and took over the insurance portfolio of the Eastern Caribbean Islands. CIL obtained approval from the Supervisor of Insurance for St. Lucia on June 30, 2000 and the Company opened its new office complex on Brazil Street on November 2, 2000.

CLICO St. Lucia purchased a 22-acre housing project at Dennery, which is our second housing development in St. Lucia, the first being, the Rodney Bay Development, constructed by our sister Company Home Construction out of Trinidad. We also provide an Annual CLICO Challenge Scholarship to enhance the educational opportunities for students of our valued policyholders.

Over the years, CLICO St Lucia expanded to a full range of products with the purpose of catering to every individual’s need. These products include:

• Individual Life
• Group Life
• Individual Health
• Group Health
• Individual Pension
• Group Pension
• Creditor Life
• Universal Life

Due to the collapse of our Parent Company CL Financial and by extension CLICO Holdings Limited, the St Lucian agency was placed under Judicial Management from April 11, 2011 until this present time.
