The Asteron Life MDRT Grant Programme provides $5,000 grants for up to four advisers to implement an idea gained from the recent 2024 Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) conference in Canada. They must have a plan with the aim of improving outcomes for their businesses and customers.
Tony Arthur, EM of Life Distribution at Asteron Life says attending the annual conference sets advisers up to achieve beyond what they would if they were not investing into their business and themselves. But without commitment to an action plan around ideas gained there, some of that investment can be lost.
He hopes the new grants might stem some of that lost opportunity and benefit advisers, their businesses and the life insurance sector.
He expects all advisers who build action plans following the event will realise significant value from the experience.
“The quantity and quality of content, speakers and the sharing of best practice at the MDRT Conference sessions was an incredible experience for all attendees – and that is both in the formal speaker and engagement session and informally through conversation and networking. In reality, the trick to getting the best value from the experience, is being clear on what are the one of two things that someone can implement, as opposed to committing to too many ideas that never gain traction.”
Asteron Life supports the work of the MDRT New Zealand committee in growing its membership and providing opportunities for financial advisers to attend local and international events of this calibre.
“There is huge value in advisers reflecting on the ideas that have come out of the conference, completing an action plan around how to bring the ideas into their own practice and leveraging them for their business and customer benefit.”
He says Asteron Life will work alongside all financial advisers who make a submission to support the realisation of their goals.
