Chatswood serves the life and health insurance sector in New Zealand with market intelligence, data, and bespoke consulting services. Some of these are provided in conjunction with Quality Product Research Limited - a subsidiary that brings you Quotemonster.
We believe that good decisions are more likely to occur when we have good information about the market environment in which we operate. Intuitive leaps and creative decisions are always required, of course, but the more they are based on a firm foundation of observation, the better they tend to be.
Online Monsters In March event
Join us on the 27th of March for our online version of Monsters in March!
You may have noticed in our recent communications that we are holding a few events in in Auckland and Christchurch. For those of you outside of these areas (or if you were unable to attend in person) we are hosting online versions of the events on the 27th of March.
These events are a must-attend for advisers looking to refine their expertise, embrace new opportunities, and integrate cutting-edge research into their practice.
There will be three separate sessions – one on business insurance, one on personal insurance and one on KiwiSaver. You can choose whether to attend all three sessions or pick one or two.
You can register for the 40-minute sessions using these links and there is further information on these sessions below. You need to register for each of the three sessions you would like to attend.

Our board met in Wellington in the beginning of May with three topics for discussion:
The proposed rating of Business lump sum products – at the time, we prepared draft ratings for Life and TPD and received highly valuable feedback from our members allowing us to modify and progress this project.
Review of Trauma Incidence – our ‘incidence’ feature is vital to Trauma Research and with the help of claims data from Gen Re, we reviewed our current incidence, however, will be proceeding with an external consultation before these are updated on Quotemonster.
Legacy and recently closed products – we were interested in an adviser’s perspective on if and how these products should be presented on Quotemonster.
The feedback from our Research Advisory Board meetings has prompted us to create infographics that we believe will strengthen the advice you provide to your client, and we are excited to be able to feature them in our upcoming Roadshow.
