"I have known David Henderson for seven years and during that time, he has had full control of my financial investment portfolio through retirement and the consequences of adjustment to widowhood. I have never had any cause to doubt his skilled advice and commitment. This has been delivered through a friendly and totally reliable relationship. I have regarded him as a trustworthy friend and in terms of the financial manoeuvres, his practical adjustments have (thus far in a volatile world!) all been safe and successful. He has been helpfully reassuring at times based on an extensive knowledge of theway the markets and global economy works I find this very educational. I have recommended his services to several friends all of whom have commented most favourably after his input totheir finances."
Life Protection
Most people take out life assurance to provide financial security for their families, and alleviate any financial worries in the event of death or even a critical illness. Having this cover in place protects your family, at what is already a difficult time and is a key part of financial planning.
There are several ways to arrange protection but Term Assurance is popular and can provide a cost-effective method of protection.
Level Term Assurance pays a specified lump sum in the event of death and / or critical illness at any time during the specified term of the policy. The benefit is paid tax free and premiums are usually monthly, and fixed throughout the term.
Decreasing Term Assurance is similar to Level Term Assurance, but the payment on death and / or critical illness gradually decreases over the term of the policy. This can therefore be used as cover for a repayment mortgage, or other loans where the amount of capital outstanding also decreases over time.
Family Income Benefit differs from traditional policies that pay out a lump sum, in that it provides beneficiaries with a regular, fixed, tax-free income in the event of death and / or critical illness, until the end of the term of the policy.
Critical Illness Insurance is usually available as an addition to all term assurance plans but can also be arranged on a stand-alone basis. It provides you with a lump sum benefit / income in the event of diagnosis of certain critical illnesses or total and permanent disability. The illnesses covered will be specified in the policy, along with any exclusions and limitations.
