Whole of life cover
Peace of mind for your family
What is whole of life insurance?
Whole of life cover guarantees a pay out to your loved ones, no matter when you die. This form of cover is generally more expensive than term insurance, and you will need to ensure that you can afford your premiums, both whilst you are working and into retirement.
There are two types of whole of life insurance available, balanced cover and maximum cover. Balanced cover pays out an agreed fixed sum when you die, and you pay the same amount for your premiums each month. Maximum cover on the other hand, is generally cheaper that balanced cover. But your monthly premiums will be invested by the insurer. In doing so, the cost of your monthly premiums will likely fluctuate and if your investment does not perform well, the pay out your family receives could also diminish.
