About Us

Doing Business with Us

Hunter McCorquodale Inc. is a leading developer and distributor of special risk disability and life insurance solutions. Together with our selected insurer and reinsurer partners, we have developed a number of niche products designed specifically to offer coverage in situations where appropriate solutions are not available in traditional markets.

Hunter McCorquodale commenced operations in 1997, as a result of the common vision of the two founders, Ken Hunter, FSA, and Stephen McCorquodale, MBA, who saw the need and opportunity for a specialized service to help insurance advisors solve client needs that could not be satisfied by their regular insurance suppliers. Prior to establishing Hunter McCorquodale Inc., Ken and Steve both enjoyed distinguished careers within the industry, including executive roles within insurance companies, as well as in personal production.

Hunter McCorquodale is an independent operation, owned and operated by its’ principals. We are not affiliated with any insurer or distribution firm.

All our products are proprietary, and available only through us. We consider ourselves to be a “niche” provider, and our strategy is to offer products that do not compete directly with mainline insurers. We are not a retail operation i.e. we do not deal directly with consumers, but only through intermediaries – insurance and financial advisors, and benefit consultants, across Canada.

Our insurers have vested in us full authority for the underwriting (together with our approved special risk underwriting consultants) of risks and for the issuance of policies. As a result of our fully controlling the front-end processing of applications, we are able to provide service levels that are second to none in the industry.

Our staff are carefully selected for their experience, knowledge and orientation to customer service. All our staff have considerable experience in advisor support roles, both within our company and in their prior work experience.

At Hunter McCorquodale, our mission truly is to help you help your “hard to insure” clients.
