AFM and the Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) announces their affiliation to highlight the role of mutuals in the UK Protection Market
The Association of Financial Mutuals (AFM) and the Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) have announced an affiliation as part of a dedicated focus on the crucial role of Mutuals and Friendly Societies in the UK protection market and the wider community. This collaboration aims to raise awareness of the products available through mutual providers and educate advisers on how they can better understand and access these solutions for their clients.
Throughout April, the IPTF will spotlight the unique strengths of Mutuals and Friendly Societies, showcasing their long-standing history of delivering member-focused financial protection products that prioritise the needs of individuals and their communities. As organisations that operate on a not-for-profit basis Mutuals offer tailored income protection solutions with a strong emphasis on customer well-being, affordability, and social responsibility.
The collaboration with the IPTF will provide valuable insights into the history of the mutual sector, the benefits of their financial protection products, and practical guidance for financial advisers seeking to offer these solutions to their clients.
Commenting on the affiliation, Andrew Whyte, Chief Executive of the Association of Financial Mutuals, said “We are delighted to be working with the IPTF to highlight the vital role that Mutuals and Friendly Societies play in the protection market. This initiative will help increase awareness of the fantastic products our members provide and demonstrate how mutuality continues to offer a customer-centric alternative in financial services.”
