One of the most important events in the calendar of insurance agents and advisers in Asia Pacific - the 9th Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards (ATLAA) - concluded earlier this evening, celebrating 17 winners recognised for their outstanding contributions and performance.
The tightly-fought Insurance Company of the Year Award ended in a tie – with Tata AIA Life Insurance and AIA Singapore emerging as joint winners.
Held in Singapore, the ATLAA gala evening was a veritable Who’s Who of the most successful agents and advisers in the region. The winners were chosen from 51 finalists shortlisted from over 200 nominations from 11 markets and 19 different companies across Asia.
A distinguished judging panel, made up of 14 CEOs, senior executives, heads of associations and industry experts, participated in a rigorous and transparent two-stage judging process with KPMG as scrutineer.
In the first stage, remote judging was conducted to select the finalists. In the second stage, judges gathered to deliberate and to pick the winners through a secret ballot via a virtual meeting.
