Resolution Life’s purchase of Asteron Life will be different than when they purchased AMP Life
Advisers had previously expressed frustration after Resolution Life’s acquisition of AMP Life, particularly around communications and service levels.
Willis says that this time it will be different as Resolution Life are supporting Asteron Life’s growth ambitions, keeping the current management team in place and keeping the branding the same. Willis says the purchase will allow Asteron Life to invest in things like digitising the business to drive growth.
In addition, Willis points to new leadership at Resolution Life Australasia, with Tim Tez taking on the CEO role less than 18 months ago.
