History

The Sovereign General Insurance Company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with regional offices from coast-to-coast.

Originally known as The Merit Insurance Company when incorporated back in 1953, the company focused on primarily the personal lines of insurance sold through captive (or employee) agents.

The name was changed to The Sovereign General Insurance Company in 1974, and during the ensuing years, the company completely changed its strategic direction towards the commercial lines of insurance, and distributing its products solely through independent insurance brokers rather than captive agents.

In 1987 Sovereign became a proud member of The Co-operators group of companies.

Today, Sovereign is a major insurer in Canada. Sovereign distributes exclusively through independent brokers. As a member of The Co-operators group of companies, Sovereign has access to resources one would expect from the leading Canadian-owned multi-product insurance company.

The company emphasizes an innovative and entrepreneurial approach, endowing its excellent staff with a sufficient level of authority to be responsive regionally to the needs of brokers and customers.
