A Professional Approach
As you move through life enjoying your current lifestyle and aiming
at future financial targets, it is important to consider the risks
and plan for the contingencies which could arise along the way.
If you, and your spouse, are not currently financially independent
- that is, if you are not debt free and you rely on you personal
exertion to finance your current as well as future lifestyle - you
need to seriously consider the consequences of illness, accident
or worse, death or total and permanent disablement. For most of
us, our future income steam is our largest single asset and the
source of our current as well as future lifestyle and we should
consider protecting it.
Contingency plans, once established, should be reviewed annually
to ensure your cover remains appropriate.
We see our role as:
1. Firstly, to identify your broad risks and contingencies
2. and then to assess and to quantify these risks in light of your
desired outcomes in
the event
of certain eventualities occurring.
In other words, we analyse your circumstances and identify the risks.
You decide what risks you wish to cover and to what extent. We then
analyse the policies available in the market and select and recommend
the policies most suited to your needs.
To be in a position to begin we need an accurate picture of your
financial circumstances, your assets, your liabilities, your income(s)
and your current cost of lifestyle. The picture is completed through
your answers to a few questions.
It is up to you to decide to what extent, if any, you wish to transfer
all or part of these risks to an insurance company. Unfortunately
there is a direct correlation between the level of risk transferred,
the quality of the relevant cover, and the cost.
In selecting the Life Offices with whom we deal we have assessed
the quality of product and service and the stability and financial
strength of the organisation, and importantly their attitude to
claims. Competitiveness of pricing has been considered without compromising
the above factors.
