Welcome to Partners Papers...
Saturday 24 th
March 2018
The Partners Life DUAL is a once
a year opportunity to participate
in one of 9 different events on
Motutapu and Rangitoto Islands,
from a 6km walk to an off-
road Triathlon. At no other time
throughout the year are people
able to participate in an event of
this nature on Motutapu and
Rangitoto, and this is the only
time of year that mountain bikes
are allowed on the islands.
Thank you so much for the amazing amount of feedback we received from the last ‘’Trauma’’ themed
edition of Partners Papers, and congratulations to the lucky winners of the 10 IPADs.
From your feedback it was very clear that Ali’s story really spoke to so many of you, so much so that we have decided to
run a claim story in each edition of the Partners Papers from now on. Reece was so touched by reading Ali’s story that he
volunteered his own, for which we are so incredibly thankful. It takes a great deal of bravery to share such a personal story
with the world.
Another recurring piece of feedback we received was from client’s asking the simple question “why do my premiums go up?”
We listened to you, and in this edition of Partners Papers, we take you on a journey of discovery to explore the complex
science behind insurance premiums.
We hope you find the information understandable, useful and, most of all, as interesting as we do.
The idea behind Partners Papers is for the Partners Life team to be able
to talk to you about the workings of life insurance in general, as well as
the philosophies unique to Partners Life. It provides us with a forum to
answer customer questions, address customer concerns and explain why
we do what we do. You will not find us advertising any products directly
to you in Partners Papers. We respect the relationship you have with your
adviser and we understand that the decisions around which products
are best suited to your needs and how much cover you need should
be decided between you and your adviser. Instead we simply want to
bring you up to speed with some of the detail around how life insurance
products work which you may not otherwise be fully aware of, as well
as sharing the stories of some of our clients with you and finally letting
you know the role Partners Life is playing in our New Zealand community.
As each edition of Partners Papers is received by both long-standing
customers as well as brand new customers for whom this edition is their
very first, we would encourage you to check out the previous editions of
Partners Papers on our website, as you may just find we have already
answered your questions in previous articles. Happy reading everyone.
