SINGAPORE, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table), The Premier Association of Financial Professionals®, has announced its sponsorship of the 29th Asia Insurance Industry Awards (AIIA), specifically the prestigious “Life Insurance Company of the Year” category. This sponsorship marks another milestone in MDRT’s decade-long partnership with Asia Insurance Review, underscoring its commitment to promoting excellence within the financial services industry across the Asia-Pacific region.
“MDRT provides top-performing financial professionals with invaluable opportunities to learn and grow,” said Carol Kheng, ChFC, the 2025 MDRT President. “Our sponsorship of the 2025 AIIA is part of our ongoing effort to support the continued success of companies and advisors in the region. We are committed to helping them thrive by engaging in meaningful initiatives that foster greater achievement.”
While MDRT membership was historically focused on life insurance, its scope has expanded to encompass broader financial planning and client protection. By embracing diverse distribution channels, such as agency, brokerage, bancassurance, and open-architecture partnerships, MDRT’s influence has grown significantly, especially in Asia. The organization aims to continue driving growth in the region, and its AIIA sponsorship is a key part of this strategy.
For nearly a century, MDRT has been a member-driven network of leading insurance and financial services professionals who exemplify the highest standards of ethics, knowledge, service, and productivity. Today, MDRT boasts nearly 90,000 members worldwide, with nine Asia-Pacific markets among the top 10 in total membership.
To better serve its members in the region, MDRT opened a new Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore in 2023. This facility works closely with MDRT’s U.S. headquarters, as well as satellite offices in China and India, to provide enhanced member resources, benefits, and event support throughout Asia.
Looking ahead, the 2025 MDRT Global Conference will be held in Macau, China, from August 24-27. The conference, with a focus on issues specific to the Asia-Pacific region, will bring together members to celebrate their achievements while offering culturally resonant experiences that deepen the engagement between members and companies.
