Zurich announced today (18 July) that it is joining forces with the Association of Independent Financial Advisers (Aifa) as a supporter of Aifa’s online business transition academy, FFWD. Available exclusively to Aifa members, the online hub contains a wealth of information designed to help advisers grow and adapt their businesses in light of the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR). The insurer said the academy is packed with hints and tips from advisers who have already embraced the challenges of the RDR, includes news and views from industry experts, a downloadable reference section with the latest Financial Services Authority (FSA) papers and Aifa guides on the key stages to developing successful business strategy. Richard Howells, intermediary sales director at Zurich UK Life, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting Aifa and their online academy FFWD, at a time when more and more advisers are looking to industry bodies and providers to help them transition their business models in light of the RDR deadline. “By lending our support, we hope to create greater engagement with advisers while at the same time continue to champion the role of the adviser and influence the wider debate about the shape of financial advice in the future”.” Sophie Fiori, marketing and membership director at Aifa, said: “With over 1,500 firms already registered, FFWD is proving to be invaluable for member firms who are preparing their business for RDR. “Our partnership with Zurich enables us to build on Aifa’s success to date and continue to develop this vital offering to members.”
