Scarsdale, NY —Denise Koslowsky of Advocate Brokerage in Scarsdale has been awarded a Certified Advisor of Personal Insurance (CAPI) designation from the Aresty Institute of Executive Education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Chubb.
Ms. Koslowsky is among a group of only 33 agents to receive the certification after completing a one-year intensive educational program on understanding the lifestyle and risk management and insurance needs of high-net-worth individuals. The program also helps agents to brand themselves as trusted high-net-worth advisors. Created by Wharton and Chubb in 2014, the CAPI program is the first of its kind to focus on a specific customer segment in the personal insurance marketplace.
“The agents who have completed the CAPI program have proven that they have the high level of skill and expertise required to understand the total family balance sheet and advise high-net-worth individuals on their complex risk management and insurance needs,” said Annmarie Camp, Executive Vice President, Sales and Distribution Leader, Chubb Personal Risk Services.
“We are extremely proud that Denise Koslowsky has received the prestigious CAPI designation,” said Roz Binday, President of Advocate Brokerage Corp. “This really shows her incredible dedication to the insurance industry as well as her commitment to serving our high-net-worth customers, who have a unique set of property and liability exposures created by their assets and lifestyle.”
The curriculum for the 12-month CAPI program included six modules related to the high-net-worth mindset, customizing insurance solutions, building client relationships, selling, excelling in the high net worth arena, and sustaining excellence. Courses, which are taught by Wharton faculty, Chubb subject matter experts and other professionals, include “Understanding the Total Family Balance Sheet,” “Collections,” (art, jewelry, antiques, wine, etc.), “Family Security,” “Relational Agility,” and “Building Your Personal Brand.”
Courses were taught by Wharton faculty, Chubb employees and other experts who work with high-net-worth customers and their advisors. Agents received instruction on the Wharton campus at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, at the Chubb Conference Center in Lafayette Hill, PA, and through virtual classes, webcasts, reading assignments and other online activities throughout 2015-2016.
