Analysis
A Toyo Keizai anonymous roundtable of six life, non-life and agency insiders aired frank industry secrets, even an undisclosed scandal at a major life insurer. These front-line disclosures echo the FSA's drive to reform practices and protect policyholders. For buyers, the reminder: the industry's under-the-table issues are less shiny than its ads, so healthy skepticism and asking whether advice and commissions are neutral is basic self-defense.
