Netwealth launches new platform
Netwealth Investments has announced the launch of a new integrated insurance facility, LifeWRAP, in conjunction with AIA Australia.
LifeWRAP enables planners and advisers to service their clients’ investment needs as well as their life insurance requirements.
Commenting on the new product, Netwealth’s executive director, Matt Heine, said here had been a need to manage a risk product on the Investment Wrap platform for some time and that LifeWRAP addressed these requirements.
“The facility is suited for those running their own SMSF, but also caters for income protection and insurances held outside of super,” Heine added.
The new platform gives advisers access to AIA Australia’s comprehensive individual retail insurance product range and also provides information regarding their clients’ policies.
