The risks associated with lithium batteries - Rerun
Due to technical issues, we are rerunning the session - Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters. This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem.

Precision planning & protection perfection
How well are your clients able to articulate their financial goals?
When did you last go back to basics and consider how protection features in your clients’ plans?
Research shows that initially clients often don’t really know what their goals are. As financial advisers, you need to work closely with them to really explore their goals before building a precise plan which will deliver for their long-term future.
