PIS restructures risk support
Dealer group Professional Investment Services (PIS) has announced a restructure of support for risk-focused practices with a number of new appointments — an initiative the group claims would help all practitioners providing risk advice tackle the underinsurance problem.
Following the recent appointment of Peter Nielsen as regional risk manager for Queensland and New South Wales, PIS has announced the creation of risk practice development manager roles in NSW, QLD, Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA.
PIS head of risk Mark Stubbings said the new structure would strengthen risk-focused practices at a state level and provide regional oversight and strategy through Peter Nielsen and David Spiteri in Victoria/Tasmania, SA and WA.
“General insurance brokers, financial planners and accountants are much more aware of the consumer benefits of focused and specialised life insurance advice,” Stubbings said.
Along with the new structure, PIS announced the launch of Partnership Program for advisers, offering business solutions, client engagement activities and cultural exchange, Stubbings added.
