“We don’t serve our readers or marketers by standing still while their industries are transforming,” said Jay Kirsch, President of Media at ALM. “ALM is proactively meeting the rapidly changing needs of our life/health insurance audience through a single, more comprehensive brand.”

ThinkAdvisor’s Life/Health channel will enhance its coverage of life insurance, annuities and health solutions with practical guidance on the products, services, and technologies necessary for agents to thrive in a disrupted market. This channel will also provide content and other resources to the growing number of investment advisors seeking to enhance their client offerings with risk management and retirement planning solutions.

“An unpredictable regulatory environment, new technology entrants, and evolving consumer needs are forcing fundamental shifts in business models, distribution methods and client expectations,” said Scott Thompson, Vice President and General Manager of Regulated Markets at ALM. “Succeeding in this environment now requires different skills, an expanded knowledge base, and a new client-centric approach that incorporates both insurance and investment solutions. ThinkAdvisor’s Life/Health channel was established to deliver the information and intelligence that insurance professionals need to successfully navigate this new reality.”

In addition to ThinkAdvisor, ALM remains committed to serving the professional needs of the property and casualty insurance and employee benefits professionals through other brands and events, including National Underwriter Property and Casualty magazine, Property Casualty 360, BenefitsPRO, America’s Claims Event and more.
