The panel comprises six of the UK’s market leading protection providers: Aviva, Bright Grey, Friends Provident, L&G, LV= and Zurich. This range will allow advisers to access a high level of quality, service and breadth of products with a range of market leading commission rates.
Commenting, Roger Crocker, head of protection, GI and technology, said: “Protection remains a core area of advice for many firms. We deliver services to a wide range of adviser firms who want to tailor propositions to their clients, and our approach is built around that demand for choice. Having completed a robust due diligence process we have chosen the leading protection providers to be part of our panel. Service, financial strength and underwriting expertise where key factors in our decision.
“We are strengthening the existing protection services offered by Sesame, Bankhall and PMS because we believe that this business area will be pivotal to the client service propositions of adviser firms going forward, along with their future prosperity. We will be working closely with our provider partners to bring support and training to advisers to help grow their protection business and ensure that their clients have the professional guidance and cover that they deserve.”
