Who you are dealing with

Two markets. One adviser.

Adler & Rochefort is the trading name of Ownizo, Unipessoal Lda., ASF-registered insurance broker n.º 425591790/3 — a public registration you can check independently.

Registered broker

ASF-registered in Portugal, no. 425591790/3, operating in Spain under the EU freedom to provide services.

Lisbon

Head office in Lisbon, with clients across mainland Portugal, Madeira and Spain.

Discretion by design

We never name a client or show what they insure. The only public reviews are those clients chose to post on Trustpilot. What you own goes only to the underwriters you instruct us to approach.

Not tied to one insurer

No exclusivity with any insurer. Proposals are chosen for wording, service and claims record — never for the lowest premium.

The claim, handled

The adviser who placed the cover handles the claim with the insurer and the loss adjuster, in writing, until it is settled.

Our difference

Rarely the cheapest proposal.
Written to pay.

We work with a restricted panel of insurers and specialist underwriters, chosen for their wordings and for how they behave when a claim arrives. The premium is the result of the analysis, never its starting point — and if the lowest price is the deciding criterion, we would rather say so now.

01
Individually underwritten
Where the risk needs it, an underwriter reads the file — survey, valuations, security — and the conditions are agreed in the contract before anything happens.
02
One household, one review
Homes, collections, cars, liability and health reviewed together, so a gap in one policy is not hidden by the date on another.
03
Portugal and Spain, one standard
Head office in Lisbon, clients across Portugal and Spain, and one ASF registration that covers both markets.
04
One adviser, review to claim
The same person from the first review to the renewal and, if it comes to it, the claim. You never start again with someone new.
Above a certain value, the question is no longer whether you are insured. It is whether the policy was written for what you own.

Great for this US expat with ‘vacation’ property awaiting my relocation

I was drawn to Adler & Rochefort because they were comfortable with English communication … and worked with second/vacation home owners. It was reassuring that I was asked for specific information about the property and my needs, with follow-up, before a quote was obtained. … Coverage is a clear match for my needs.

Who is by your side

Hugo Gonçalves — Founder of Adler & Rochefort

Hugo Gonçalves

Founder & Risk Management Specialist

Hugo Gonçalves founded Adler & Rochefort to give private clients in Portugal and Spain the kind of insurance advice usually reserved for a family office: one person who reads every policy the household holds, knows where each one stops, and is still there when a claim is made.

With a degree in Business Management from the University of Hertfordshire and ongoing training at the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), Hugo works from a technical grounding rather than a sales one. Nearly twenty years at the forefront of global tourism technology at companies such as Hotelbeds (HBX Group) gave him a working knowledge of how international clients hold assets across several countries, and of what that does to a policy written in one of them.

Adler & Rochefort works with specialist insurers and co-brokers, with access to specialist high-net-worth capacity in Portugal and Spain. That is what allows a high-value home, a collection or a family liability exposure to be underwritten individually rather than rated from a table — and what allows the firm to say plainly when a well-built standard policy is the better answer.

His working method is to read the policy before recommending it, and to say plainly where the cover stops. Each client's needs are analysed in detail, cover is built around what they actually own and where it is kept, and everything is done under ASF supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Private clients: the questions we are asked first.

It is cover written for homes, contents and valuables that a standard multi-risk policy was not designed to carry: rebuild values above the retail market, items worth more than a single-article limit, several residences, collections, and liability exposures that come with staff, guests and property in more than one place. It becomes relevant when any one of those applies — not at a fixed level of wealth.
It depends on the insurer: each specialist insurer sets its own entry level for a permanent residence. In practice the case for individually underwritten cover becomes clear when a home's rebuild cost passes roughly one million euros, when contents include pieces worth more than a standard single-article limit, or when the household holds property in more than one country. Below that, we will tell you if a well-built standard policy is the better answer.
Yes. Adler & Rochefort is registered in Portugal with the ASF (no. 425591790/3) and in Spain with the DGSFP (LPS). In each country we place with insurers licensed there and with specialist high-net-worth capacity, and one adviser keeps sight of the whole household.
Often, yes. Private-client wordings can schedule several residences, their contents and scheduled valuables under a single policy with one renewal date, where the insurer writes each location. Where that is not possible, we align the policies so that limits, dates and conditions do not leave gaps between them.
For higher-value homes, some specialist insurers arrange an on-site appraisal to confirm the rebuild cost and advise on contents and valuables sums insured. Items insured on an agreed value need a recent valuation or equivalent evidence. We tell you exactly what is needed before anything is requested.
Narrowly. We never disclose who our clients are or what they insure, and never show photographs of insured items. The only public reviews are the ones clients chose to post on Trustpilot themselves. Details go only to the underwriters you instruct us to approach, and everything runs in writing so there is a dated record of what was declared.
Each proposal is prepared for a specific risk and requires a detailed analysis, so response times vary from case to case. Larger homes, collections and yachts take longer, because the underwriter is pricing that specific risk. Interim cover can often be arranged while the file is completed.
Nothing on top of the premium. As an insurance intermediary we are remunerated by the insurer, and the review of your current cover carries no obligation to proceed.
Yes. Ownizo, Unipessoal Lda., trading as Adler & Rochefort, is registered with the Portuguese Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority (ASF) under no. 425591790/3, and registered in Spain with the DGSFP under the freedom to provide services (LPS).
