Zurich bringing advice, risk mitigation and managed solutions to IFP members. 
During the current turbulent times, the value of high quality Financial Planning advice has never been more pertinent. As such, Zurich is delighted to be working with the Institute of Financial Planning again during 2013. The close working relationships we have with members of the IFP are hugely important to us and allows us to further develop our support to match these needs.
There is an increasing and potentially bewildering array of choice for consumers when it comes to financial products and how to buy them. At the same time customer need has never been so high – the UK has an ageing population that is living longer in retirement and yet is further burdened by a transfer of responsibility for health and retirement provision from both employers and the State. The need for information, guidance and quality Financial Planning advice to help customers do the right things and make the right choices is at an all time high.

We recognise this and that's why Zurich remains a firm supporter of the IFP and the vital support and direction Financial Planners provide.
This environment presents opportunities for insurance companies to leverage strengths and capabilities for the benefit of consumers and intermediaries - Zurich aims to deliver exceptional products and service and does not want to just be an IT and administration company.
We were proud to support this year's IFP Paraplanner conference earlier in May and it gave us a great insight into how vital this role is. We're also looking forward to catching up at the annual IFP Conference in October at the Celtic Manor. Please come and visit us on our stand for an update on initiatives we've launched over the past 12 months.
Together we will make a difference to people when it matters most – bringing advice, risk mitigation and managed solutions to clients who need it now more than ever. We look forward to further developing our relationship with all the IFP members and supporting your business in 2013 and beyond.
