Strategy International Insurance Group, Inc. announced from its Toronto office that it has been named by Value Guaranteed Vacations Inc. (VGV Inc.) as the exclusive insurer for its affinity program, the VGV(TM) Program.
Coverage will be provided through two of its subsidiary companies – Strategy Holding Company Limited and Strategy Insurance Limited, a provider of specialty lines of insurance, reinsurance and structured risk underwriting focusing on credit risk and credit enhancement.

Commenting on the announcement, Strategy International Chairman Stephen Stonhill stated: “Strategy Insurance Limited is exceptionally pleased to underwrite the VGV(TM) Program, which has already been very successful with major timeshare developers, and is confident that this momentum will continue in the coming year.”
