"An important component of your financial framework is insurance. Personal insurances are about risk management - ensuring that assets and lifestyle are protected should something unexpected happen"
There are different types of personal insurance policies available to support different situations. When you work with an adviser, they can help you to identify which may be of benefit to you and your family.
This is usually what people are referring to when they say ‘life insurance’ or ‘death cover’. It is typically a lump sum paid to your family (or estate) in the event of death or, in some cases, terminal illness.
This pays a lump sum in the event you are injured or suffer an illness that causes major cognitive impairment, or renders you unable to independently care for yourself or work.
This pays a lump sum in the event a specified illness (ie cancer, stroke) is diagnosed.
This pays a monthly benefit that covers up to 75% of lost earnings due to an illness or accident.
Some people who come to us have too much insurance. This is because they believe that ‘more is better’, which simply isn’t true. Insurance is paramount to a strong financial framework, but it’s important that it reflects your needs. With a financial plan in place, with clear goals and strategies, your insurance can be structured so that it protects your lifestyle, assets and family.
