Industry News and Training

Overview

There are numerous challenges with simply submerging yourself in industry news. What is the narrative that best describes the series of events we are experiencing now? How does that change when different viewpoints are taken? What is the experience of different segments of buyers, distributors, channels? An opportunity is usually a gap - it exists in between existing segments. Spotting those is hard. How do you identify turning points? How do you overcome the various biases we all bring to the task of market analysis? These are the questions we wrestle with and try to resolve in preparing our market news and data analysis. 

Service

Our quarterly reports are offered on a subscription basis and allows us to provide readers with in-depth information on current market trends, changes, and emerging areas of concern. Taking issues of conduct, culture, law and regulation, product, and people changes, we aim to make them easy to understand. In addition to that, we offer live training sessions to walk your team through the events – keeping them up to date in a life and health insurance context. This focus is designed to make this the most relevant continuing professional development hour you will have each quarter.

Process

We collect data relating to premium rates, policy information, financial information, staff movements, news, and more. After receiving the data from data companies, we work to make sense of the information and use excellent visualisation to reveal the story behind the data.

Through our training services, Chatswood can hold a teleconference that assists all advisers in your business grasp the key trends and issues in the market.  Through this interactive service, advisers will have the opportunity to gain further clarification to aspects that did not fully understand.

Challenges

Through this service, we will help to solve the challenge of keeping up with all that occurs in the industry. By remaining informed about industry and insurer updates, your adviser business is set to continue being compliant; which in turn helps you offer clients refined services that focus on their needs. Through this, your business has the means of remaining competitive.

 

Ideal User

An adviser looking to update their advice process to be more compliant with regulations would benefit most from this service. An adviser business looking to expand or one with multiple advisers would equally benefit from this service as it means that the advice process is specially designed to meet the regulatory requirements as well as the collective needs of advisers; meaning the advice process is more likely to be followed.

 

Benefits

The benefits of subscribing to our reports ensures adviser businesses to remain up-to-date, compliant, and competitive. While the use of our training service will ensure that your advisers are able to ensure they fully understand all that is going on in the market.
