    Protection policies

    By ensuring you have adequate provisions in place, you can protect your financial future and that of those closest to you. Below are examples of protection policies:
     

    Life assurance

    Life assurance is a type of insurance that pays out a lump sum if the policyholder passes away.

    Long-term care

    Long-term care insurance is a product that can help pay for the costs associated with long-term care later in life. This can be expensive – you may need to use your savings or help from family to cover it. 

    Critical illness cover

    Critical illness cover protects your finances if you’re diagnosed with a medical condition or suffer a physical disability that’s covered by your insurance policy.

    If you cannot work due to illness during the term of your policy, you’ll receive a pay-out of an agreed amount. You may be able to claim more than once, during the term of the policy depending on the details of the policy you’ve taken out.

    Income protection

    Income protection is a type of insurance that pays out a tax-free replacement income if you are unable to work due to ill health or injury.

    The percentage of your normal income that will be paid out in the event you can’t work will be determined by the level of cover you take out.

     

    Protection products have no cash-in value at any time and cover will stop if you aren’t able to pay your premiums.  If the policy amount has not been paid out by the end of the selected term, the policy will end and you’ll get nothing back.
