Long-term and Short-term Insurance: Different Disciplines

As a long term financial adviser, you appreciate the importance of trusted client relationships and the responsibility that comes with providing advice based on a deep understanding of your clients’ needs, goals, and financial circumstances. Long term and short term insurance are distinct disciplines. Each requires its own specialist expertise, operational infrastructure, product knowledge, and regulatory focus. While long term advisers often identify short term insurance needs through their client engagements, managing those needs effectively requires dedicated short term insurance expertise.

The Econorisk Professional Referral Arrangement

Econorisk is one of South Africa’s leading short term insurance broking and risk advisory businesses. Our value lies in our experienced people, specialist market access, and national service capability across personal, commercial, specialist, and niche risks. Through the course of business, long term advisers identify clients who require professional short term insurance support. Econorisk offers a formal referral arrangement that allows long term advisers to introduce these clients to Econorisk, while Econorisk assumes full responsibility for all short term insurance services.
