AIA launches new adviser support programme

The new scheme, AIA Apollo, replaces Ascend and is open to all advisers who write business for AIA.

AIA chief partnership officer Sam Tremethick says the scheme is based around four pillars:

1. Boost my Business – tools and education to take your business to the next level for you and your customers.
2. Value my Business – Connecting you with experts and industry specialists who can share their knowledge and experience to help you and your customers.
3. Develop and Guide Me – Stay up to speed with access to the latest training courses and accreditation programmes.
4. Keep Me Informed – Providing you with tools and support to help you keep up to date with the latest regulation and compliance information.

He says the old programme was based around productivity and rewarded advisers on production. The approach around Apollo is to expand it to all advisers to help their businesses grow.

"Quite simply we want adviser businesses to grow," he says.
