A winn-ING streak
ING Life has taken out the top spot in this year’s Money Management/Dexx&R Adviser Choice Risk Awards. The firm secured the overall Risk Company of the Year award and took out the term and total and permanent disability (TPD) product category in addition to the trauma product category.
Winning three out of five categories is a significant achievement for ING, which also won the term and TPD rider product category last year.
ING attributed its success to its commitment to addressing the needs of customers and advisers. Gavin Pearce, general manager, insurance, at ING Australia said regular advisory boards and customer research ensured it delivered to its target audience.
Asteron Life’s repositioning in the market also proved successful, with the firm taking silver in the overall category as well as an additional silver for its trauma product, Recovery Life. Tower Life was awarded bronze in the overall Risk Company of the Year category following the relaunch of its Accelerated Protection product, which came second in the term and TPD product category for 2010.
