The 6th Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards, the region's most prestigious Awards recognising the best in financial advisory with an independently-audited judging process, is now open for nominations.
The Awards is organised by Asia Advisers Network and Asia Insurance Review, with co-organiser LIMRA, strategic partner AIA, and sponsors Allianz and Union Assurance. The esteemed judging panel this year consists of some 30 CEOs, Senior Executives, Association Presidents and subject matter experts, drawn from Asia and beyond.
Backed by strong industry support from leading insurance associations and organisations in the region, close to 60 winners from 12 markets have been recognised over the past five editions.
“Agents and advisers will remain at the forefront of initiatives that link life insurance to wellbeing, increasing coverage and closing the protection gap," HSBC Group Chairman Mark Tucker, Patron of the Awards, said. “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.”
Sivam Subramaniam, Adviser, Asian Affairs, Beacon International Group, said: “2020 was a complete game changer and a nightmare to many but agents and advisers took the challenge to rise higher to demonstrate their value with greater customer care. This has made us more determined to go ahead with the launch of the 6th Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards.”
