"Talking Risk is aimed at those who have or are considering investing in risk and other insurance products," said the President of the FIA, Arnold van der Linde. "By debunking myths, addressing perceptions, debating topical issues and tackling consumer concerns, Talking Risk will help educate and empower consumers to take more ownership of their portfolios and make informed choices about product purchases."

A wide number of topics will be covered to ensure that viewers are exposed to as many facets of this industry as possible, including employee benefits, healthcare insurance and others.

The series will also cover hot topics, such as the pros and cons of direct insurance versus intermediaries, as well as the good and the bad of commission.
