Asteron Life Insurance Index

2022 Edition - Issue 2

Welcome to issue two 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 second issue of the 2022 Insurance Index we explore these key insights:

  • The concerns that trigger taking out life insurance
  • Gender and life-stage differences in attitudes toward insurance
  • Finding information about life insurance
  • Building trust and confidence
  • Deciding on coverage levels 

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