Tryggingamiðlun Íslands ehf (hereafter “TMI”) was founded in June 1997 by Karl Jónsson and is one of the largest and longest standing insurance agencies in Iceland. As of January 2010 the current owners, Friðbert Elí Friðbertsson and Gísli Ölvir Böðvarsson acquired the business after two years of being co-owners. TMI is a part of the Icelandic brokers association and is regulated by Fjármálaeftirlitið (FME – the Icelandic Financial Services Authority).

TMI started its business with selling savings and insurance policies for the UK based companies Friends Provident International and AXA Sun Life. Today, TMI services over 20.000 policies from these companies. TMI has also from start been in collaboration with Baloise in Luxemburg (named Winterthur before) and is this collaboration supervised by Karl Jónsson. TMI’s main business partners today are Allianz, Vörður and Lloyd´s. The business done between TMI and Allianz, which started in last century, is in sales of pension schemes, monthly savings as well as life insurance and personal accident insurance.
