LV are owned by Allianz, If I recall correctly, so they are European.
AIG is American.Neither of the above should matter.They are both part of large multinationals and their UK arms are, I assume, regulated by the FSA. Maybe you should check they aren't operating out of Gibraltar or somewhere like that?I don't think I'm helping.Maybe you should flip a coin?0 -

LV sold their general insurance business to Allianz but retained their life & pensions book. Members voted against the offer from Bain Capital in early 2021. Royal London then entered talks, but those collapsed in February 2022 and LV retain their status as a mutual for the time being.

AIG's contribution to the credit crunch is more than enough to put me off.

I have AViva as they can give discounts for car insurance sometimes. I also saw they offer 'best treatment' mini health insurance for those with income protection, not sure if they offer this for life cover"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

I believe with AIG you get access to digital GP also (can't remember with LV).
Check what additional benefits is offered with either such as digital GP, second medical opinion, etc.0
