- profitability, in terms of growth revenue as well as in assets and premiums under administration and/or management.
“PSG has the largest network of independent financial, insurance, healthcare and employee benefits advisers in Southern Africa, which means this award is a significant achievement,” says Dan Hugo, Chief Executive of Distribution at PSG. As at end February 2017, the total number of advisers within the PSG network stood at 744, located in 208 local offices throughout South Africa.
