Zil said it would be ‘rolling out’ the plan today, prosper tomorrow initiative to more than 200 advisers in the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar. It aims, said Zil, to support advisers in meeting the retirement aims of clients, while also setting out how Zil’s products and services can help achieve this.
Graham Morrall, Zil regional director for the Middle East, said: “As the market continues to show signs of recovery, it is essential to reiterate that events such as retirement will occur regardless of the economic environment. The key is to fully understand the needs of the customer and to provide products that can help them cope with economic uncertainty while working towards their future financial goals.”
Zil said the campaign had been devised following research it conducted in 2009 that showed savings and investments accounted for almost half of retirement income, followed by property.
Zil is also said to be planning to launch a new life insurance product in the Middle East in July which will help support the campaign.
