Legal & General Group

Highlighting our success

Legal & General makes financial security easier to achieve for millions of people. To many retired people, the pension fund they have built up over the years is what they now depend on. We make 370,000 payments each month to the value of £755 million each year in pensions and other benefits.

To a married couple, buying their first home marks a major step towards their new life. In 2007, Legal & General was involved in arranging £26 billion worth of mortgages through intermediaries, via its Mortgage Club.

To people of working age, the savings they make into ISAs, unit trusts and pension funds are a vital source of reassurance today and financial security in the future.

At every stage of life, people seek financial security and protection for themselves, their loved ones and their possessions.

Through our range of General Insurance and Protection products we help protect the lives, the health, the homes and the belongings of millions of people
