RBNZ and FMA Report: Life Insurer Conduct & Culture
Public confidence and trust in the life insurance sector is essential; life insurance contributes significantly to the financial well-being of New Zealanders. Reports like that released by the FMA and RBNZ today – Life Insurer Conduct & Culture – play a vital role in highlighting areas where the sector can better serve New Zealanders, and importantly, maintain and grow public confidence and trust.
All should be qualified – response to Draft Code of Professional Conduct
All should be qualified, not just financial advisers. Financial Advice New Zealand states that there should be one minimum qualification (or the equivalent through RPL) for all persons providing regulated financial advice.

Together, we’ll build public confidence and trust in financial advice. Our members will be known as trusted advisers, committed to quality standards and advice.
Advocacy
We’re your voice and advocate. We’re dedicated to a fundamental goal: to build the best framework that supports you in providing quality advice to more New Zealanders.
Promotions
Through both promotion and public discussion, we’ll actively and consistently drive awareness of the value of advice and the role our members play in helping Kiwis thrive.
