Hartford, Conn., Sept. 19, 2016 – The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (Phoenix) introduced its new corporate brand today, aligning Phoenix’s logo to its new parent company, Nassau Reinsurance Group Holdings, L.P. (Nassau Re). The change coincides with a refreshed look for Nassau Re and the introduction of a consistent brand across its enterprise. Phoenix adopted Nassau Re’s lighthouse as its logo, which represents strength, stability, reliability and guidance. It is a well-suited symbol for a company with a 165-year history of protecting its customers’ financial futures.

“We are excited to begin unifying the brands of the Nassau Re companies as we continue to build a franchise across the insurance value chain,” said Phillip J. Gass, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix and Nassau Re. “Phoenix is our largest segment and serves as the platform for our U.S. life and annuity business.”Phoenix’s new brand can be seen today on the company’s website and will continue to be rolled out across all print and electronic materials through the remainder of 2016. Signage at One American Row (the “Boat Building”) in Hartford will be updated in November 2016 with the Nassau Re name, as the landmark structure now serves as headquarters for both Phoenix and Nassau Re.
