Specialist risk advice firm Australian Financial Risk Management (AFRM) celebrated its 25th anniversary last week.

MD Rob Vitnell says the business has helped clients secure in excess of $235 million in claims payouts to date. The benefit payments relate to 760 separate claims filed on behalf of 545 individual clients over the past 25 years.

The business expects to surpass the $300 million mark in claims paid to clients within the next three years.

AFRM’s clients hold a range of life insurance products including term life, income protection, business expenses, trauma and total and permanent disability.

“Our mission is to protect people from financial hardship when things go wrong and put simply, good advice leads to good claims outcomes,” Mr Vitnell said.

“Our role is to be an advocate for our clients and, when necessary, hold insurers to account to ensure our clients achieve the full and correct claim benefit to which they are entitled.”
