Churn debate: Sovereign has nothing to add

In the latest in our series of interviews with life insurance industry leaders on the vexed of churn and the FMA's investigation, we speak, briefly, to Sovereign CEO Symon Brewis-Weston. Here's what he had to say.

Saturday, June 27th 2015, 9:16AM

“It’s not something I really want to discuss,” Sovereign chief executive Symon Brewis-Weston says.

“I really don’t think there’s much I can add,” he told Good Returns.

When asked about discussing the issue of churn in the market he said: “I’m not really interested in talking about it.”

He said Sovereign will comply with the FMA's request and is focussed on getting the material together.
