Here at Phoenix Group our roots go back to 1782

We know a thing or two about longevity

We’ve been around for over 240 years, growing steadily through a series of mergers and acquisitions.

Most recently, we’ve added well-known brands such as Standard Life, SunLife and ReAssure to our portfolio.

We started by travelling door-to-door selling life assurance policies, now we look after the pensions, savings and investments of around 12 million customers across the UK and Europe.

Over the past two centuries, through name changes, location changes and product changes, one thing has remained constant – we’ve been helping people secure a life of possibilities.

We’re making change happen

As the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business, we have the responsibility and opportunity to tackle some of the biggest challenges of our time.

We always have one eye on the future. From helping our customers secure their financial future, to protecting the future of our planet by increasing our sustainable investments. We’re at the start of a very important journey.

We cannot make these changes alone.

Through our Phoenix Insights think tank, we’re leading fresh debate, prompting national conversation and inspiring action to make better longer lives a reality for all of us.

We’re using our unique insight and scale to collaborate with peers, the government and regulators to deliver positive societal change.

We’ve been around for over 240 years, but we’re just getting started.
