"Husbands do not care about insurance, only widows do" - Anonymous For some of you, you have a great responsibility in taking care of your family. Your dependents rely on you to provide for them. You are worried about the financial implications to your family if anything happens to you. The good news is that most of such financial risks can be transfer through a contract call an insurance contract. It is also a misconception to believe that paying a high insurance premium implies adequate insurance. You may like to know that the pricing of insurance differs significantly from insurer to insurer. Never assume that the insurer you know is the most competitive. There are 12 life insurers in Singapore, do not limit yourself to just one or two. Your premium saving could significantly be reduced through the choice of selecting the appropriate and cost competitive policies from the most competitive insurer. Type of Services Provided – Needs Based Protection Planning For needs-based protection planning, it involves you disclosing your financial situation so that the required calculations can be made on whether you are adequately protected. Such planning also reviews your existing insurance policies which may or may not be appropriate depending on the changes to your financial situation since the time you bought them.
