Advice is key
Our focus on High Net Worth insurance this month has brought up many questions. With statistics showing a large increase in emigration, most of which would be high net worth individuals, are there still opportunities in this segment? If there are, what are their specific needs and what has changed over the past few years?
Then, for those looking after the wealth of these individuals, what are the risk management requirements? These and other questions are answered or probed by the various contributors to our feature.
I look forward to seeing our various clients and readers at Sun City from the 24th of July for the annual AIE Conference. My first big live event and I am super excited.
As always, look out for our stand.
Enjoy the read.
Tony.
