Insurance is the foundation of your plan for a secure financial future. It helps protect your finances when you're faced with health challenges, and helps safeguard your family's quality of life after you're gone.
Life insurance
Life insurance helps protect the financial security of the people who matter most, should something happen to you. It is also a crucial component of estate planning.
There are 2 main types of life insurance:
- Term life insurance policies are temporary and provide death benefits only.
- Permanent life insurance policies provide death benefit coverage immediately, plus build up cash value over time. Universal life insurance is a type of permanent insurance.
Health insurance
Health insurance protects you and your family from the financial impact of illness, accidents and disability.
