Taking Life forward

From our early roots as a business-focussed industry collective, we have evolved into an active, international trade association that’s proud to be a standard bearer for cross-border Life in every sense.

Through progressive ideas, initiatives and influence, we’re able to create a genuine and profitable unity amongst all those we represent. Find out more

Our story

From guardian of a fledgling sector to champion of a mature financial market, AILO has advanced, promoted and collectively represented the cross-border Life industry since 1987.

Having helped shaped the sector’s regulatory and tax landscape, the increased international focus of local trade associations has enabled us to take a wider international guardian role, working in collaboration (not competition) with them. It’s also given us the opportunity to become a more proactive and people- focussed organisation, helping our sector to develop new talent, greater diversity, smarter practices and deeper knowledge sharing.

Our values

To reflect our evolution to the broader, forward-thinking body AILO has become, we’ve refreshed our core values. These are the codes of behaviour and principles that help us deliver our core offerings of Representation, Education and Insight through our new brand promise,

Championing Life

Removing Barriers

By speaking as one international sector voice, we can help challenge and actively resolve the institutional roadblocks and industry issues that affect Life, more directly and effectively than individual companies or local organisations.

Realising Potential

Bringing out the best in Life for everyone is at the heart of all we do. From extensive education and career development that maximises individual talent, to valued insights, innovations and conversations that help our Member organisations grow and flourish.

Uniting Strengths

By bringing together a vast array of cross-border skill sets and expertise in niche customer audiences, we can give everyone access to an unrivalled pool of sector experience and cooperative networking opportunities.

Sharing Intelligence

As a sector knowledge hub, we’re here to ensure everyone gets access to the intel they need. We provide wide-ranging market analytics and statistics and provide forums and opportunities for our Members to pool knowledge that helps them progress.

Raising Standards

As a close-knit professional group with direct access to regulators and lawmakers, we are able to ensure, uphold, promote and even improve best practice, criminal prevention and ethical behaviours that positively influence our sector and how it is perceived.

Respecting Everyone

We’re great believers in an inclusive, ethical, diverse Life where everyone has a fair say, a valued role and an equal opportunity to live their best life.
