Jack Hunt of insurance law firm Clyde & Co has won this year’s Aon Benfield Scholarship.

He is in London today for the start of the 52nd annual Aon Benfield Global Clients Reinsurance Seminar, which runs until July 6.

The scholarship, presented in conjunction with the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF), promises insurance and reinsurance professionals an industry insight on a global scale.

This year’s applicants had to submit an essay addressing the topic “lifetime insurance: a revolution, or a step too far?”

ANZIIF CEO Prue Willsford says Mr Hunt produced an “outstanding essay” and will be exposed to invaluable insights and best practices in London.
