Good morning and welcome to your Tuesday 18 April, 2023 Morning Briefing. Today, we look at the latest developments in the protection industry, including the addition of income protection policies to CIExpert’s adviser portal, Insight Zone.
CIExpert is a leading protection comparison specialist that provides advisers with easy access to up-to-date information on all aspects of protection products. The addition of income protection on its adviser portal will make it easier for advisers to access key information on this important protection product.
Income protection provides financial support in the event of illness or injury that prevents individuals from working. However, it is often an area that is misunderstood or overlooked by consumers when buying protection products. By adding income protection to Insight Zone, CIExpert aims to make this product more accessible and easier to understand for both advisers and their clients.
In other news, trainee financial advisers face an important decision when starting out their careers: to go self-employed or to work for an established firm. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and it is essential to consider factors such as flexibility, stability, and earning potential before making a decision.
Starting out as self-employed can provide freedom and control over your own business, which is attractive for those who want to work independently. On the other hand, working for an established firm provides a sense of stability and access to support networks that can be valuable for trainees.
Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preferences and circumstances. Advisers should consider the potential benefits and challenges of each option and weigh up which aligns with their goals and values.
