Recognising the immense contribution of agents and advisers
"2020 has been a challenging year; we have faced both public health and economic crises as a result of the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
First of all, I hope you and your families have been – and continue to be – safe and well.
The difficulties we have faced over the last year have underlined the critical role played by financial services in our economies, both in supporting customers and in creating a bridge to a post-COVID world. Insurance has been central to this, due to the requirement for long-term capital, the need to manage new kinds of risk and the acceleration of digitalisation.
For many years, agents and advisers have led the way in the use of innovative products and the harnessing of new technologies for sales and customer service. As our industry and society adapt to the new circumstances, the inspiration and example of agents and advisers will be more important than ever.
Agents and advisers will remain at the forefront of initiatives that link life insurance to wellbeing, increasing coverage and closing the protection gap. They will offer ever more innovative products and technologies and will strive to find new ways to better serve customers. As a consequence, agents and advisers will continue to go from strength to strength and will cement their importance to the future of our industry.
These awards recognise the immense contribution that agents and advisers make to customers and to the communities in which we work and live. I would like to thank Asia Insurance Review and Asia Advisers Network for helping us to celebrate the very best of them."
