Aviva already has 20,000 mandatory pensions agents

Aviva has already recruited 20,000 marketing agents for the distribution of mandatory private pensions (the 2nd pillar), according to a company announcement. Aviva is one of three mandatory private pension managers authorised by the Private Pensions Supervision Commission (CSSPP), alongside ING and Allianz-Tiriac. “We have already recruited 20,000 marketing agents and we have invested in their training,” says Shah Rouf, general manager of the Aviva group in Romania. With the first three management licences granted by CSSPP, the race for the authorisation of the sales force for mandatory pensions begins. According to some estimates, over 100,000 individual marketing agents could be authorised on the market within the next few months, each of them being able to sell the product for one sole manager.
