In confirming its long-term commitment to the retail life insurance advice market, TAL’s General Manager Retail Distribution, Niall McConville<\/strong>, said his firm appreciates the substantial changes advisers face (referring to the New Life Insurance Framework<\/a>) and is committed to supporting them and their business through the transition.<\/p>\n

Outlining five key commitments that will form the foundation of new ideas TAL is pioneering, Mr McConville commented, \u201cLife companies and advisers need to become more efficient if we are to provide a better experience for consumers and we believe that an investment of $150 million over five years will provide opportunity to better deliver life products and advice to Australians.<\/p>\n

Mr McConville said the additional funding will span the company’s customer, service and product propositions, and will cover commitment to five key areas of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Partnership<\/li>\n
  2. Advocacy<\/li>\n
  3. Value<\/li>\n
  4. Education<\/li>\n
  5. Investment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    He added that TAL has launched a new website<\/a> \u201c…to be transparent and held accountable to our commitments. I would encourage all advisers to take the time to review what is being proposed and have their say. Advisers know their business better than anyone and the site allows advisers to submit and vote on ideas, as well as see what is already underway.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe future may have some challenges,” continued Mr McConville, “…but in my opinion, if we all work together the future has more opportunities than challenges. The new framework calls on the industry to work collaboratively and we believe this is a positive step in working together for a better outcome for the industry and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
