Asteron offers discounts for healthy lifestyles
Asteron Life is focusing on healthy lifestyles by rewarding its advisers’ clients who qualify for the Healthy Life Option with discounts.
Asteron said there were a range of discounts providing up to 25 per cent savings and that the application process had been simplified through an automatic discount when completing applications online.
Asteron head of wealth and life intermediaries, Steve Degetto, said there was a greater focus by people on eating well, keeping fit, and living healthier lives.
“We believe these choices should be recognised and rewarded and that’s just what our healthy life discounts are all about,” he said.
Clients could qualify for the Healthy Life Options by answering lifestyle questions online.
“We think that our new healthy lifestyle discounts demonstrate our commitment to being positively different by helping advisers protect their customers,” Degetto said.
