Who is responsible for notifying policy changes?
Of course it is the responsibility of the insurer to clearly communicate with its Policy holders, and Advisers together, regarding all changes on a Policy. There is at least one insurer that feels that a simple email to the Advisor on every Anniversary renewal is a bit too much for them! The Advisor has to be pro-active and chase renewal communications every year through the Insurer's website. Where is the responsibility of the insurer there?

Fidelity Life sold to Partners
Can the New Zealand Life Insurance afford further shrinkage? With AIA performing so poorly options to insure will fall to just Partners, Asteron ( Acenda) and Chubb for mainstream Life Insurers. Of course there is PSP but they have a very small, targeted client group.

This is great news indeed, well done AIA. I hope you were able to solve the tax treatment which plagued this cornerstone product.

Who is responsible for notifying policy changes?
There is no doubt the obligation is on the insurer who the contract is with. Clearly it would be prudent for an adviser to assist once given clear information by an insurer to assist with the communication but to extend this further. For an insurer to attempt to slide this onto an advisers plate is abdication. The adviser can not change the contract.
