Aon Master Trust improves insurance offering
Aon Master Trust has upgraded its insurance offering to members.
The company announced last week that members had been offered a special deal to increase their death and total and permanent disablement insurance cover by up to $500,000 without having to produce any evidence of their health status.
Commenting on the move, AON Hewitt head of retirement products Peter Lewis said it represented a special offer developed with insurer AIA Australia.
“We know that a lot of our members realise they don’t have enough insurance, and even those who plan to increase their cover often don’t get around to doing anything,” he said. “By offering them a quick and easy way to increase their cover, plus an incentive to act now, we think it will help them overcome their inertia.”
