Insurance Times & Investments goes monthly

Information for the financial services professional and the consumer "There is a great need to communicate trends and events occurring within the financial services industry and editor Nigel Benetton excels at providing an independent view to benefit both consumers and advisers," says Belinda Viret of Cadiz Street Communications. The magazine, which aims to further educate financial advisers and assist consumers to save and prosper, covers all aspects of insurance – from investments, law and health care to consumer affairs, security and business. Says Benetton, “Intermediaries and their markets realise the importance of acquiring objective, quality information about their businesses. This follows the introduction of a range of consumer protection measures, the ongoing establishment of specialist ombudsmen, and stricter legislation to govern licensing of financial service practitioners.” The magazine cover is also undergoing a facelift. The fresher look of the first edition next year will reflect the publication as a compelling read. ITInews Online, the internet counterpart of Insurance Times & Investments, reflects the increased desire for information from the financial services industry as the website obtained more than 80 000 page impressions during November. This reflects an increase in page impressions of almost 40% since July. “The website reflects the industry’s latest news as financial services companies have use of a press office function to immediately publish news releases,” says Brent Wilson, editor of ITInews Online. “The website provides a daily communication platform for the Insurance Times & Investments community. It enjoys a similar audience and encourages dialogue, learning, and service support while offering additional interactive features.” Contact Details:Nigel Benetton on 021 671 2240 or Brent Wilson on 041 373 0928.Author:  Belinda ViretITInews - Insurance Times & Investments Onlinewww.itinews.co.za
