Asgard is set to launch a new platform which offers insurance as an optional ‘add-on’.<\/p>\n
The Infinity eWRAP, which will be available next month, is a low-cost investment and super platform which the group says is suitable for clients with low balances.\u00a0 Advisers can then build on the core product by adding additional features, including insurance.<\/p>\n
Asgard National Product Manager, Kelly Power<\/strong>, told riskinfo that Infinity investors would have access to Asgard’s Personal Protection Package, thereby delivering a consistent insurance experience across all the Asgard products.<\/p>\n “The insurance component is not like other add-ons for which there is an additional charge,” said Ms Power.\u00a0 “Clients only pay the additional premium.”<\/p>\n She said the decision to leave insurance out of the core offer was to provide advisers with the flexibility to tailor packages for different client segments.<\/p>\n “We did a lot of testing with advisers and got a lot of feedback.\u00a0 They told us they liked the option of adding insurance to a core product.<\/p>\n “It’s analogous to Foxtel – where consumers pay for a basic package and then only pay for the specific additional features they use,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Asgard is set to launch a new platform which offers insurance as an optional ‘add-on’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12574\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
