Our board met in Wellington in the beginning of May with three topics for discussion:
- The proposed rating of Business lump sum products – at the time, we prepared draft ratings for Life and TPD and received highly valuable feedback from our members allowing us to modify and progress this project.
- Review of Trauma Incidence – our ‘incidence’ feature is vital to Trauma Research and with the help of claims data from Gen Re, we reviewed our current incidence, however, will be proceeding with an external consultation before these are updated on Quotemonster.
- Legacy and recently closed products – we were interested in an adviser’s perspective on if and how these products should be presented on Quotemonster.
The feedback from our Research Advisory Board meetings has prompted us to create infographics that we believe will strengthen the advice you provide to your client, and we are excited to be able to feature them in our upcoming Roadshow.
