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.

The feedback from our Research Advisory Board meetings has been very valuable to our Research team and allows us to strengthen our research ratings when we gain an insight into the adviser perspective.

Topics we reviewed were:

·         the proposed rating for Rural Key Person insurance;

·         the proposed design for product and provider settings (business);

·         the addition of new research rating factors;

·         the introduction of price change history.

We’re looking to recruit a new member in 2025 – if you know an adviser in the region who would be keen, please let a member of the research team know, you can find out more about the Research Advisory Board here. Being a member of the board provides an opportunity to participate in a governance structure and gain valuable wider industry experience.
