PPS Mutual has named the finalists for its risk practice of the year award.

The seven contenders are Beaulife Group, DPM Financial Services, Hood Sweeney, MBS Insurance, Navita Wealth, Oakmont Financial Group and Skye Wealth.

Life insurer PPS Mutual’s CEO Michael Pillemer says the finalists have demonstrated expertise and put client support at the heart of specialist risk advice.

“The judging panel’s feedback highlighted the exceptional calibre of submissions and the challenge of selecting the finalists,” he said.

“Judges noted the sophistication of some of the strongest entries, including dedicated claims teams, structured career pathways, internally developed technology and carefully governed adoption of AI.”

The final stage of judging will include client feedback, and PPS Mutual will announce the winner early next year.
