RIBO Advisory
We understand that a number of brokers in the Greater Toronto Area have heard of a referral program being offered by representatives of “Net Wealth Capital Inc.” to sell memberships in “Axccess Lifestyle Membership Corporation”. One of the listed benefits of membership (summarized) is access to home and auto insurance (2 cars) for 5 years for a premium of $7797. The broker is listed as “Chesterfield Insurance Brokers Ltd.” with coverage provided by “Lloyd’s Canada”.
As insurance professionals, you know that this offer strains credulity. Accordingly, we are advising extreme caution for any brokerage considering promoting this product or considering a relationship with this Organization, until such time as the appropriate authorities can completely check into these claims.
So far, RIBO can advise that “Chesterfield Insurance Brokers Ltd.” is not a RIBO registered brokerage and that Lloyd’s in Montreal are not aware of this program.
Gary Hirst, Executive Director of the Chesterfield Group Limited would like to add the following:
"Whilst Chesterfield Insurance Brokers Limited is not RIBO registered, Chesterfield Insurance Brokers Limited is a fully accredited Lloyd’s Broker and registered with the UK Financial Services Authority, their registration number is 309345 and can be found on the FSA web site using the following link www.fsa.gov.uk/register/firmBasicDetails.do?sid=123580
Chesterfield Canada Inc. are a RIBO registered Broker and are proud to support their Governance.
Chesterfield Canada Inc. would also like to make it clear that they first became aware of this “product” promotion one week ago and immediately informed RIBO, Lloyd’s of London and the Toronto Police that they, Lloyd’s Canada and Chesterfield Insurance Brokers Limited, were not providing any support to the “Product” and that the use of the Chesterfield Group Company and Lloyd’s names and logos in the Publications are false and without their explicit permission.
Chesterfield Group companies have no association with Net Wealth Capital or Axcess Lifestyle Membership Corporation and do not endorse the Product that has been promoted.
Please direct any question to Tim Goff at RIBO and Gary Hirst at Chesterfield Canada Inc.”
