Asteron Life Insurance Index

2022 Edition - Issue 1

Welcome to issue one of the newly launched Asteron Life Insurance Index in New Zealand.

Reporting is now into its fifth year, but this year the Insurance Index builds on earlier Asteron Life research with SMEs by including a broader sample of life insurance customers from the general population. This new report format will now provide life insurance advisers with a society wide view of how people view life insurance and advisers.

In this first issue of the 2022 Insurance Index we explore these key insights:

  • Adviser usage and satisfaction
  • The role of collaborative relationships
  • The importance of education
  • Advisers’ expertise is a key benefit
  • The power of reviewing insurance-needs regularly
  • The claims experience
  • Building business through referrals

Download the first issue of the 2022 report and the two-page summary.
