FWD Life Insurance Plc. (FWD Insurance) has announced a major milestone for its sales leaders and life insurance agents at the “MDRT & Annual Awards 2026” event, with a total of 330 qualifiers attaining the globally recognised Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) distinction for 2026. Among them, six achieved the highest-level Top of the Table (TOT) qualification, while 17 attained Court of the Table (COT). This achievement reflects excellence in service, expertise in financial advisory, and the strength of FWD’s people in delivering protection and life insurance experiences that are easy to understand and accessible to customers.
Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious honours and highest professional standards in the life insurance industry, recognised in more than 70 countries worldwide. To qualify, members must meet rigorous criteria across all dimensions, including performance, professional ethics, and service quality above industry benchmarks.
MDRT qualification is divided into three tiers based on capability and performance: MDRT, which signifies that an agent is among the industry’s leading professionals; Court of the Table (COT), for agents whose performance reaches three times the MDRT benchmark; and Top of the Table (TOT), the highest level, for agents whose performance reaches six times that benchmark. Attaining these distinctions underscores the highest level of excellence in the financial advisory profession. For FWD Insurance agents to achieve this level of success is a clear affirmation of their readiness to serve customers with high-quality financial advice and internationally recognised standards.
Mr. David Korunić, Chief Executive Officer Based in Thailand and Cambodia, FWD Life Insurance Plc., said: “The success of FWD’s leaders and agents in achieving MDRT qualification, including those advancing to TOT and COT this year, reflects their dedication to serving customers with professionalism and their readiness to provide financial advice of international quality. FWD Insurance is extremely proud and delighted to see our people continue to grow, because every member of the team plays an important role in enabling FWD Insurance to care effectively for customers at every stage of life and to drive our vision of changing the way people feel about insurance.”
FWD Insurance places strong emphasis on strengthening agent capability in all dimensions, including financial planning skills, team management, and the use of digital technology to enhance agent productivity. The company also provides career development opportunities through international training programmes, including the FWD Elite Signature Program at INSEAD, a specially designed global training programme for FWD Insurance agents.
This programme is a collaboration between FWD Group and INSEAD, the world-leading business school in France, aimed at developing management capabilities and modern sales techniques for selected leaders and agents through a highly rigorous process. It is designed to equip them to respond to consumer behaviour in the digital era while enhancing their ability to serve customers effectively.
In addition, FWD Insurance has partnered with LIMRA (Life Insurance and Market Research Association), a global organisation specialising in learning and talent development for the insurance business, to further strengthen agent learning through the specially designed Trustworthy Selling programme.
This programme focuses on building a deep understanding of customers, enhancing the ability to present products and services that genuinely meet customer needs, and strengthening trust and long-term customer relationships. It aligns directly with the ethical and service-quality criteria required by MDRT at every level, from MDRT to COT and TOT. The company also provides continuous development programmes to strengthen work-planning skills for sales leaders at all levels, such as LIMRA’s Pacesetter programme, supporting comprehensive career growth pathways for life insurance agents.
Alongside capability building, FWD Insurance continues to invest in technology to help agents work more efficiently by offering solutions that make their work simpler and more convenient. Through the FWD CUBE application, a sales tool designed for agents, the platform serves as both a sales partner and a personal assistant in one. It helps analyse each customer’s individual needs while enabling agents to work with greater agility and confidence, so they can provide quality care to customers at every stage of the journey.
