New kid on the block AIA Financial Advisers (AIA FA) is on a hiring spree for agents, with Great Eastern (GE) the latest casualty in the poaching battle among insurers.

AIA FA is said to have offered $100 million to entice GE's 400 or so agents - who operate under the so-called Advisors Alliance Group (AAG) - to jump ship. AAG is an agency unit at GE.

More than 300 GE agents have apparently decided to join AIA FA, likely making it the biggest one-off act of poaching seen in the insurance sector here.

    Poaching is a common strategy adopted by life insurer to quickly boost manpower (agents) and production. Axa affin life insurance bhd (Malaysia) targets washed-out failures (agency members) from life insurance industry (because axa is unable to pay top dollar to attract successful agency). Many mercenaries joined, took the dowry and left axa within 12 months. Migrating agents conduct mis-selling and recycle existing policy to maximize the joining fee.

Realisations of a Financial Adviser

Limited resources, unlimited needs All of us have plenty of financial needs. Insurance for protection, investments for our retirement & kid’s education, paying our mortgages, car loans and so on. But our resources are limited. If you are a male aged 35 and need to provide your family with a monthly income of $3,000 for 20 years in the event of your unfortunate demise, you will need about 600,000 cover. If you intend to retire at age 55, Table 1 shows the comparison for the various types of plans. The truth is, how many can afford paying more than $6,000 or $10,000 per year, just to cover his individual death needs? In the above example, we haven’t even considered his medical, his spouse, and his children insurance needs yet. We can discuss all the merits of whole life with cash values and so on, but if we cannot even fully cover our needs,  what’s the point? TABLE 1: Types of insurance plans *This is a packaged plan by one of the insurers. About temporary and perman...
