Sesame is planning to expand its Zenith protection panel for network members with the addition of four new providers: AIG, Aegon, Scottish Widows and Vitality.
These four providers will be added to the panel in the summer and will join existing providers Aviva, Friends Life, Legal & General, LV= and Royal London.
The new expanded proposition is being introduced to Sesame network members at its protection workshops which begin this week.
Mark Graves, sales director, Sesame Bankhall Group, said: "Expanding our protection panel is part of our commitment to bolstering our proposition and support for advisers and their customers. Each protection provider has been assessed based on a range of product and service criteria. We believe this panel represents the most innovative and customer-focused providers in the market right now.
"Strengthening our panel comes at a time when we are also delivering more practical business development support, in partnership with nine of the UK's leading protection providers, in order to help our members develop their skills in this important area."
