GREAT EASTERN

We continue to grow the pool of financially savvy youths in the markets we operate! With October being the Financial Inclusion Month in Indonesia, Great Eastern Life Indonesia and Solopos Media Group organised a financial literacy programme for 374 high school students at SMP Muhammadiyah Program Khusus Kottabarat in Surakarta, Central Java. The programme aimed to equip students with financial management skills for informed financial decision-making and included a simulation activity where students learned to allocate their pocket money into three main categories: Spend, Save, and Share. On top of the financial education, all participants also received the added benefit of GREAT ProInsure Accident (personal accident insurance) worth Rp10 million. #GreatEasternID #GreatEasternCares #ReachForGreat

Great Eastern was honoured with a token of appreciation from Minister for Education, Chan Chun Sing for our long standing partnership with the IFPAS - INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL PRACTITIONERS ASSOCIATION OF SINGAPORE (OFFICIAL) during its 55th Anniversary Dinner.   In collaboration with IFPAS, we are able to provide our financial representatives highly specialised programmes such as the High Net Worth Certification that helps them develop specialised skillsets while increasing their technical knowledge of the affluent segment. At present, we have the highest number of financial representatives in the industry, earning this prestigious certification. We also provide our financial representatives the Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) which is a comprehensive and application-based programme helping them sharpen their skills in financial planning, investment management, and client relationships. Since the launch of this certification earlier this year, Great Eastern has recorded the highest number of registrants.   As a platinum IFPAS partner, we look to bring our financial representatives more avenues to develop, grow, and become the industry’s best. #GreatEastern #ReachForGreat #IFPAS
