As part of its broader push into the life risk market, Zurich Financial Services Australia is launching new risk tools aimed at supporting advisers.

Following a dealer group trial over the past couple of months, the first tool to be released is a risk audit document that covers areas such as health, employment, relationships and family support.

Zurich Strategic Marketing Manager of Life Risk Marc Fabris says the tools will minimise the time advisers spend with clients, who will then be able to spend more time deciding for themselves what is best.

The next tool to be released will be a calculator for assessing mortality and morbidity risk based on an individual’s age and circumstances. It will be tested with selected advisers.
