The deal strengthens the relationship between the two organisations and will enable them to work more closely to innovate, explore new distribution channels and build new products for emerging markets. It also immediately makes Legal & General one of DAS's top five business partners.
Our organisations have strategic ambitions that overlap whereby we both share the same desire to innovate, and improve the overall market offering available to customers.
