NAGICO Insurances (Trinidad and Tobago) Limited opened its doors to customers on October 5, 2011, through the acquisition of GTM Insurance Company Limited. Established in 1982 in St. Maarten, NAGICO Insurances is the largest privately owned general insurance provider in the Caribbean, with operations in 19 territories and growing. NAGICO Insurances has grown from a humble starting capital growth of USD 75,000 in 1982 to USD 115,000,000 in premium income in 2012. During the past 30 years the company has built a strong financial base and is covered by excellent reinsurance programs from only A rated reinsurance providers in Europe. Innovative product offerings, excellent customer service and commitment to fast and fair claims handling have earned the company strong customer loyalty. The latter was put to the test after catastrophic losses caused by a category 5 Hurricane (Hurricane Luis) in 1995 and subsequent major storms which hit the region amounting to over USD 200,000,000 in claims payout. All claims were settled fairly in record time. This practice has become the trademark under which the NAGICO Group operates. Combined with excellent customer service, this has become known as the ‘The NAGICO Way. ’ NAGICO Insurances boasts of one of the most highly qualified, knowledgeable and experienced team of Executives, Managers and Staff including Chartered Underwriters, Certified Accountants and I.T. Engineers. Under the leadership of Christopher Henriques (MBA, CPCU), the local office with branches in Port of Spain, Chaguanas, San Fernando and Tobago is committed to providing expert and responsive service to clients.
