AIA Group boasts more members of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) than any other insurer.

It is the second year it has achieved this status with the sales-based insurance agent organisation.

Some 5687 AIA agents and agency leaders were registered as MDRT members on August 1, up 47% on the previous year’s total of 3752.

The life insurer’s Group Agency Distribution CEO Joe Cheng says the figure reflects the successful implementation of AIA’s Premier Agency strategy to drive growth and productivity.

“Our Premier Agency strategy places particular focus on the quality of our agents, spanning from the recruitment process to training and professional development,” he said.

“Our commitment to our agents underpins the sustainability and quality of our growth.”

Mr Chen says AIA’s commitment to having the “highest-quality agency force” has contributed to its strong new business growth.
