Specialist life adviser Australian Financial Risk Management says it has secured more than $400 million in claim payouts for clients since it launched in 1997.

“This milestone is a reminder of the many families we’ve supported when they needed it most,” MD and adviser Rob Vitnell said.

“In their darkest times, we’ve been there to help navigate the complexities of life insurance.”

Executive director and senior adviser Daniel Musumeci added: “Risk advice works best when we collaborate with referral partners, particularly financial planners. Outsourcing allows our partners to focus on what they do best, while clients receive the best outcomes delivered by a team of specialists.”

The adviser helps clients with life, trauma and critical illness, total and permanent disability, income protection, business succession and group insurance plans.
