odds of a tragedy

We face many risks in our lives on a daily basis: the risk of being in a car accident, the risk of a snow storm grounding our flights, the risk of a home burglary, just to name a few. While some of the risks are a minor nuisance and not of financial significance, others have a catastrophic effect on our finances. The purpose of insurance is to transfer some of the risk to an insurance company in exchange for a fee known as the premium.

Product review: Humania’s P.A.G.E.

Humania's P.A.G.E.

A few posts back we reviewed Manulife’s Synergy, a 3-in-1 solution that encompasses life, critical illness and disability insurance. While it’s a simple product that covers the major risks in life, there isn’t much customization associated with it. Every Synergy policy must be comprised of the three types of insurance, with no way of mixing and matching the type of protection you want. That doesn’t mean there is no product with more customization available. Humania, a company based in Quebec, came up with a solution that satisfies all your customization needs by allowing you to mix and match to your heart’s content. The product is called P.A.G.E., and it’s short for ‘Protection for the entire family, Affordable rates, Global coverage, Easy application.’

Product review: Industrial Alliance’s Child Life and Health Duo

Child Life and Health Duo

As Canadians looking for insurance to protect our families from loss, we’re blessed with the number of insurance companies offering innovative products and solutions. Here at Brian So Insurance, we want to discuss and review these specialty products. For the most part, basic products such as term and permanent do not vary widely among carriers. So what we want to delve into here are specialty products, such as LifePhases and LifePhases Plus by Assumption Life. These are usually offered only by one carrier to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. They can be combination type insurance, mixing life and different types of health insurance together as a package. For this post we are going to talk about Child Life and Health Duo, a combination type insurance that incorporates life and critical illness insurance into one policy. Child Life and Health Duo is a unique product offered only by Industrial Alliance.

Do you need to insure your children?

life insurance children

Last week we looked at if insurance was necessary for the elderly, so we’ll follow it up this week with the same question applied to children. Children are the pride of our lives. They bring joy and smiles to their parents’ faces. But they’re obviously not the breadwinner of the family – that role belongs to the parents. Still, as we explained last week, that is not the only qualifier for whether or not to have insurance placed on a family member. Are there other reasons for you to insure your children?
