AIA tops MDRT in Sri Lanka, crosses 100 member mark

AIA Sri Lanka has crossed 100 MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) members for 2016, making it the first and only insurer in Sri Lanka to do so, the company says.

AIA has the most number of MDRT members in Sri Lanka, with a total of 110 MDRT certificates awarded to AIA Wealth Planners and Bancassurance Executives in 2016. This achievement is testament to the high calibre of advisors recruited, trained and employed by AIA, to provide the best protection and savings solutions to Sri Lankans.

This is the second consecutive year that AIA tops MDRT from Sri Lanka. MDRT is internationally recognised as the standard of excellence in the life insurance and financial services business. Its members are required to generate a certain high level of premium, commission and income and demonstrate exceptional professional knowledge, strict ethical conduct and exceptional client service, a media release from AIA said.

AIA Sri Lanka CEO Pankaj Banerjee said, "We are in the business of helping people protect their families, access the best healthcare and enjoy their retirement to the fullest - this is no easy task and it is truly commendable that our advisors are able to not only positively impact people's lives but also be recognised as being the best of the best".

Deputy CEO Upul Wijesinghe, who is AIA's Chief Agency Officer, noted, "We adopt a diligent process when recruiting to ensure we have the very best joining our team. We also have an intense and holistic training process to ensure 100 per cent competence as well as the necessary technology in place to enable ease- of- doingbusiness for the Wealth Planners as well as the customers."
