Events
in recent years such as the World Trade Centre disaster, the
Tsunami in Asia and a multitude of bad news has highlighted
the susceptibility of anyone to end up losing their lives unexpectedly.
This is without even thinking about day-to-day eventualities
that Expatriates expose themselves to far more than the average
non-expatriate – such as frequent flights, lower standards
of road safety to name but a few.
There
is nothing worse than someone just losing their life, than their
family having their income and lifestyle changed dramatically
- or even worse, plunged into chaos because forethought and
care was not taken in planning for these unexpected moments.
Our
Advisors offer two types of life insurance, Term Insurance and
Whole of Life.
Whole-of-life
insurance, as opposed to term insurance, lasts throughout your
life so that your dependants are guaranteed a payout. Not surprisingly
it can cost substantially more than term insurance.
Most whole-of-life policies are issued on a "with profits"
basis - that means you share in the profits made by the insurance
company. These are usually added to the policy in the form of
bonuses.
Careful
discussion with our Advisors is wise when considering whole
of life policies: they can be attractive because they give you
life cover and they have a surrender value at any time - but
to access the surrender value you will have to cancel the policy
which means that the cover will cease.
Term insurance is effected whereby you select the term of cover
at the outset, thus allowing you to choose the level of cover
and period that you will be covered – term insurance provides
no encashment value at any time, just the payment on death.
