A new trade body for mutual insurers has vowed to make its voice heard about regulatory issues.

The Association of Mutual Insurers is mainly focussed onthe needs of life insurers, many of whom are still mutuals. But, said chief executive Shaun Tarbuck, over 6% of general insurance comes from mutuals such as NFU Mutual, Liverpool Victoria and Ecclesiastical.

The main priority for the association is present a unified view to FSA and government over regulatory issues.

Ian Geden, NFU mutual chief executive, is the chairman.
