Have your say on the LIF
Just a week out from the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) conference in Canberra, the Life Insurance Framework (LIF) and other risk-related issues are continuing to be significant issues for advisers.
Money Management is surveying its readers to determine their attitudes on key questions confronting the life/risk sector, including the LIF and the insurer code of conduct which has been developed by the FSC.
You can participate in the survey here: http://fluidsurveys.com/surveys/cirruswealth/money-management-2016-life…
The results of the survey will be released at breakfast event to be held in Sydney on 27 October where a panel of senior spokesmen, including insurer chief executives and risk advisers will debate the issues. Tickets to the breakfast can be secured here.
