Asteron Life to back adviser learnings from global MDRT conference
Asteron Life has launched its Asteron Life MDRT Grant Programme, providing $5,000 grants for up to four advisers with a plan to implement an idea they gained from the recent 2024 Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Annual Meeting (conference) in Canada, with the aim of improving outcomes for their businesses and customers.
Tony Arthur, EM of Life Distribution at Asteron Life says those that attended the event in Vancouver are setting themselves up to achieve beyond what they would if they were not investing into their business and themselves. Without commitment to an action plan to turn good ideas into great results, though, some of that investment can be lost.

He hopes the newly launched Asteron Life MDRT grants might stem some of that lost opportunity and benefit advisers, their businesses, and the life insurance sector.
Arthur says while the MDRT grants Asteron Life is offering will undoubtedly be appreciated by those who win them, he expects all advisers who build action plans following the event will realise significant value from the experience.
“The quantity and quality of content, speakers and the sharing of best practice at the MDRT Conference sessions was an incredible experience for all attendees – and that is both in the formal speaker and engagement session and informally through conversation and networking. In reality, the trick to getting the best value from the experience, is being clear on what are the one of two things that someone can implement, as opposed to committing to too many ideas that never gain traction.”
Asteron Life wholeheartedly supports the work of the MDRT New Zealand Commitee in growing its membership and providing opportunities for financial advisers to attend local and international events of this calibre.
“There is huge value in advisers reflecting on the ideas that have come out of the conference, completing an action plan around how to bring the ideas into their own practice and leveraging them for their business and customer benefit.”
He says Asteron Life will work alongside all financial advisers who make a submission to support the realisation of their goals.
