Raising standards in equity release advice with Aviva

Aviva was proud to be the headline sponsor of the first Equity Release Council Adviser Summit 2023. The event, held in Manchester on November 15 was a fantastic opportunity to bring together industry experts, financial advisers, and thought leaders to discuss the latest trends, insights, and opportunities in the ever-evolving landscape of equity release.

Speaking after the event Angela said: “More than just a logo on a banner, we feel that the sponsorship provided a platform to showcase our commitment to empowering people in their retirement journey. We would like to thank the Equity Release Council for putting on such a great event and for giving us the opportunity to present throughout the day. 

“The exhibition hall was a fantastic focal point for engaging conversations and networking opportunities, and our Aviva colleagues were delighted to interact with advisers and other industry professionals; it was great to see the genuine interest and enthusiasm displayed by everyone. One of the highlights for Aviva was the opportunity to deliver a breakout session alongside other providers for a more in-depth look at the equity release market. 

“The 2023 Adviser Summit was truly a platform to celebrate shared goals and aspirations to promote equity release through enlightening discussions and was a testament to all attendees wanting to drive positive change.”  

Hansen added: “It was good to have the opportunity to share our internal research with advisors and I hope they found it useful. It was nice to speak to advisors and the feedback I heard was very positive.”
