With controversy still surrounding the future of the life/risk sector in Australia and particularly the impact of the Life Insurance Framework, Money Management is conducting a survey aimed at gauging industry views on the state of the industry and its future outlook.
The results of the survey will be presented to a Money Management policy breakfast to be held in late October allied to the presentation of the annual Adviser Choice Risk Awards conducted in association with Dexx&R.
