20 September 2021

Asteron Life has been named as a finalist for Life Insurance Company of the Year at the 2021 ANZIIF NZ Insurance Industry Awards.

This award recognises companies that have demonstrated strong performance, responded to market changes and provided outstanding service for their customers and intermediaries.

Grant Willis of Asteron Life said the result reflected the commitment to being ‘supporters for life’ for both its customers and advisers.

“Over 2020 and 2021, Asteron Life has worked hard to continue to support customer sand advisers who have faced disruption and hardship due to Covid-19, including providing nearly $4m million in support through options like premium waivers,” he says.

He says the company has also focussed on improving support for customers experiencing vulnerability of all kinds, and working closely with advisers to help them prepare for the new adviser licensing regime.

“New Zealand’s life insurance market has and continues to face significant change and we are proud to be a finalist for an award that recognises the work we’ve done to prepare both our company and advisers for the future, and to create great outcomes for our customers.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Auckland on 17 November 2021.
