"The Exeter has worked hard to create a product for those, who through no fault of their own, have found themselves in an underserved section of the market."
Specialist adviser firms will have exclusive access ahead of a full market launch in December.
The Exeter will extend cover available under its Managed Life product which launched earlier this year, aimed primarily at people living with type 2 diabetes or a high body-mass index.
Steve Bryan, Director of Distribution and Marketing at The Exeter, commented: “I am really proud that yet again The Exeter has worked hard to create a product for those, who through no fault of their own, have found themselves in an underserved section of the market.
"We have been working closely with a number of specialist adviser firms to refine the product, taking onboard what advisers and their customers need. These firms will have exclusive access to quote and apply for their clients for a limited time.”
“During November, we will continue to hone and enhance the quote and application process in collaboration with these firms, ahead of a full market launch in December.”
Dan Sharpe, Managing Director of The Insurance Surgery, added: “This is very exciting news from The Exeter and it is good to have the confirmation that Managed Life will be extended to include the impaired market. It is important that life insurance is available for those who need it most, and not being able to get cover shouldn’t be an extra worry for those managing an illness.”
