LIFE INSURANCE

Help provide protection and security for your loved ones

WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE?

Life insurance is often considered the cornerstone of sound financial planning. Permanent loss of income due to death can leave behind a huge financial burden to one’s children or spouse, who must face continuing expenses such as a mortgage with the loss of a major income. Most families are unable to continue the quality of life they previously enjoyed without additional financial support. For individuals with dependents, life insurance is a critical tool to ensure that your spouse, children or other loved ones can continue to enjoy the quality of life they deserve. Apart from income replacement, life insurance is also an important tool for building guaranteed savings throughout one’s lifetime, especially for those who are young or without any dependents. It is one of the few places one may invest in with guaranteed returns, without the burden of taxes. Returns from life insurance investments can also generate a substantial retirement income. Either way, life insurance is one of the most important investments you will make in your life, and that of your family’s.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Term insurance is the simplest and most affordable version of life insurance. It provides sufficient coverage for an individual to cover his or her liabilities, which can be renewed at the end of each term. The insured’s beneficiary is paid if death occurs while the insurance is in effect. This is the most affordable form of life insurance for new immigrants or low-income families

Renewable Term 5-50 years

PERMANENT INSURANCE

Whole life, or permanent insurance, provides a means of full coverage throughout a person’s life, along with an investment component that can generate additional liquid money. Unlike Term insurance, permanent plans can be paid up after a certain time and the insured remains covered for life thereafter, without any more premiums.
