Financial planning

The part of the plan nobody enjoys and everybody needs

Protecting a plan against the events that derail it — death, disability, illness and liquidity.

The problem

Protection is the least interesting part of a financial plan and the part whose absence does the most damage. Most households hold policies bought at different times for different reasons, and nobody has checked whether the total would clear the debts and fund the goals the family depends on.

Our approach

We size the requirement from the liabilities and goals that exist, subtract the cover already in force, and identify the gap. Where a product is needed, term insurance is almost always the instrument that delivers the cover at the lowest cost.

What we help with

  • Life cover sized on liabilities, income replacement and unfunded goals
  • Health cover adequacy against medical inflation
  • Income protection for self-employed and single-earner households
  • Emergency fund sizing and where to hold it
  • Reviewing existing policies for overlap and unnecessary cost

Who this is for

  • Single-earner households
  • Anyone with dependants and a mortgage
  • Self-employed people with no employer cover
  • Households holding policies nobody has reviewed in five years

How it works

  1. 01

    Inventory

    Every policy in force, what it covers and what it costs.

  2. 02

    Requirement

    What the household would actually need, computed from liabilities and goals.

  3. 03

    Gap

    The difference, and the cheapest honest way to close it.

What changes as a result

Cover that matches the need

Rather than what was sold at the time.

Cost removed where there is duplication

Overlapping cover is common and expensive.
