Financial protection is all about covering a high impact event that could cause you or your family financial hardship. You transfer risk from yourself to a group of individuals (a company) in the form of an insurance contract. Usually, you pay a monthly premium for a defined benefit, for example, a lump sum should a specific event occur.
Not everyone needs financial protection. If you don’t have any dependents (children) or liabilities (a mortgage), there isn’t a need.
However, if you have a young family and/or a mortgage, then you have a need to insure against a high impact event. Obtaining insurance would provide valuable financial protection for their loved ones should the worst happen.
Why is it essential, in our opinion, to seek advice on Financial Protection?
The risk of buying insurance unadvised often results in over-insuring and purchasing a product not suitable for your needs. Life Insurance, for example, unlike other types of insurance, is a relatively simple product to buy from a price comparison website. However, it is usually similar in cost to buying directly from a financial adviser. That way you get the benefit of advice as well as obtaining the appropriate level of cover, that’s two services for the price of one. As for other types of insurance, such as Income Protection, this can become completed, and advice is usually always advised before entering into such a policy.
