We must sometimes ask ourselves searching questions about our financial wellbeing - for example, do you know what would happen to your own or your family's income in the event of long term ill health, critical illness or sudden death? Could you pay your mortgage or rent? Could you support yourself and your family? Could you secure your retirement if you could not afford to make pension contributions? Could your family support themselves without you?

Financial products are sometimes at their most useful when they are protecting our families, our incomes or our property. Whilst insuring ourselves against an undesirable event such as sickness or even death may not be a pleasant thing to think about, the benefit of being able to set financial issues aside at emotionally difficult times cannot be overlooked.

There are many ways in which an individual or family can protect itself, and because of the large range of products available there is usually an appropriate solution for most circumstances, and most budgets, including:

• Personal Health Insurance
• Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
• Critical Illness Cover (Whole of Life* or Term)
• Accident Sickness and Unemployment (ASU)
• Mortgage Repayment Assurance
• Life Assurance (Increasing, Level or Decreasing)
• Renewable Term Assurance
• Family Income Benefit
• Gift Inter Vivos Insurance
• Whole of Life Insurance Plans*
