What rl360 services does

RL360 Services is an Isle of Man-based financial services administrator, wholly owned by International Financial Group Limited (IFGL), that provides policy administration and customer servicing for offshore personal portfolio bonds and international life insurance policies. Established in 1987 and operating from Douglas with a regional office in Hong Kong, the company serves 13,000+ customers worldwide, with the broader IFGL group covering 214,000+ customers, USD 27 billion in assets under administration, and more than 610 staff. The product catalogue is dominated by legacy bonds, savings, and life policies inherited from the November 2015 acquisitions of Clerical Medical International and the IOMA book, and most products are closed to new investors.

The company's technology stack centres on an Online Service Centre providing 24/7 adviser access to policy information, a Fund Centre built by Allfunds with data from FE fundinfo for performance research, and an AEOI Self-Certification System for OECD CRS and US FATCA compliance. Additional integrations include ID-Pal biometric identity verification and Citibank as the Hong Kong safekeeping custodian. Distribution is conducted exclusively through appointed financial advisers rather than direct-to-consumer channels, and the firm maintains a multi-channel customer service operation across the Isle of Man and Hong Kong.

RL360 Services generates revenue through three principal streams: recurring policy administration fees on the legacy book, annual management charges deducted from investment and with-profits funds, and transaction-based dealing charges (with the first 12 fund switches per year free, then 1% subject to a GBP 10-250 band). The business model is therefore fundamentally a run-off administration operation on a closed book, with revenue mechanics structurally tied to the gradual attrition of in-force policies rather than new sales.

Core offering

RL360 Services administers personal portfolio bonds and international life insurance policies on behalf of legacy policyholders, providing ongoing policy servicing, fund switching, dealing, valuation reporting and regulatory compliance support. Its portfolio consists largely of closed-book products originally sold under the Clerical Medical International (CMI) and IOMA brands and acquired by RL360 Group in November 2015.

Product overview

RL360 Services operates a comprehensive suite of offshore investment and insurance products administered from the Isle of Man. The product portfolio consists primarily of investment bonds (single premium and regular premium), retirement and savings plans, and life insurance products originally sold under the Clerical Medical International (CMI) and IOMA brands, which were acquired by RL360 Group in November 2015. Core products include Premier Bond variants (1, 2, 3), International Portfolio Bond, Capital Investor, Corporate Investor, Flexible Savings Plan, and Lifetime/Retirement/Wealthmaster Choice & Classic plans. The company also manages Offshore With-Profits Funds and Guaranteed Growth Funds as investment vehicle options. Most products are closed to new investors but continue to be administered for existing policyholders. The product architecture supports fund switching (up to 12 times annually free of charge), regular withdrawals, and multiple currency options (GBP, EUR, USD). HK designated policyholders have separate fund ranges due to regulatory segregation requirements. Fund centres powered by Allfunds/FE fundinfo provide performance data, and an Online Service Centre offers adviser access to policy information.
