Life Insurance Search

Financial services expert Sesame has announced that during July it will be hosting 21 technical seminars throughout the UK. The seminars will focus on issues relevant to the UK protection market, including those that pertain to the decreasing term life insurance industry.

It is anticipated that the seminars will seek to educate advisers on ways to raise revenue through the sale of decreasing term life insurance policies, as well as to provide information on the impact of developments in regulation of the life insurance market.

Sesame’s Learning Manager, Graham Allison, commented, “Sesame is seeking to help advisers increase their focus on both individual and business protection, which is particularly timely as many advisers look to enhance their service and revenue, in light of the current tough conditions in the mortgage market.

“The advice profession is ideally placed to help clients ensure that they have the right level of cover, at an affordable price, with policies that will pay out in the event of a claim.”

He added that many advisers are failing to realize the need many consumers have for decreasing term life insurance protection, saying, “It is a real anomaly that at a time when the cost of protection cover has generally fallen, so has the amount of business being written. Yet statistics demonstrate that many UK households still do not have sufficient life cover for their mortgage, and have no idea of the financial hardship posed by a serious illness or long-term disability."

Sesame's website provides a variety of financial information and advice for both business and individual consumers.
