    Alex That’s a PR job from Asteron, who have a lot to answer for. The guy was scripted, full of management babble. Asteron have long been guilty, for example, letting advisers remove CPI on 5 year plus Benefit Periods,. so the premium looks better, knowing full well that the adviser wears the crap.
    .I have questions about the morality of insurers who put those temptations in front of advisers in competition.
    New risk business is dropping. You did NOT ask him whether Asteron thought it a good idea to proceed to Year 3 LIF

    And, I am sorry, I have heard that “claims speak” stuff before. Call it out, Alex

    Soft interview, MATE !
