Life insurer Prudential Singapore announced the official launch of its new new financial advisory firm which will enable it to offer a wider range of insurance products including general insurance and wealth solutions.

Through the new Prudential Financial Advisers (PFA), customers will now also have access to travel insurance and motor insurance and wealth solutions such as unit trusts.

This is in addition to Prudential’s core solutions in whole and term life, health, savings, retirement and group insurance.

On top of that, customers can also access complementary solutions and auxiliary services provided by PFA’s partners including estate planning, family office and tax advisory.

With the addition of PFA, Prudential’s distribution ecosystem has expanded to include its tied agency which has more than 5,000 financial consultants who distribute its protection, savings and investment products.

Additionally, Prudential’s works closely with its exclusive bancassurance partners UOB and Standard Chartered to develop and deliver innovative insurance solutions to customers.

The insurer also offers PRUShield and microinsurance plans on its digital health and wellness app ‘Pulse by Prudential’.
