ifa Risk Adviser of the Year announced

Aaron Zelman of MediBroker took the honours for the second year running.

Mr Zelman was commended by the judges for having expert knowledge of financial markets and asset allocation, and possessing a methodological approach to providing a strong advice provision.

In June, Mr Zelman sold his MediBroker practice to his former business partner, Priority Life founder David Davidson.

Although he was unable to attend the awards last week, his industry colleague and business friend Trishanth Chandrahasan of Omnium accepted the award on his behalf.

“Aaron champions the need for risk insurance in this industry and he’s one of the best risk insurance advisers that I’ve ever come across,” Mr Chandrahasan said. 

“I’ve been in this industry for nine years and I really respect Aaron and I love the way he conducts his business and the way he treats his clients.

“I’m truly honoured to accept this award on behalf of him and I’m not surprised that he did win this award ... a big congratulations to him.”
