Frequently asked questions
Financial risk is how likely you are to experience setbacks due to unforeseen factors, such as death, critical illness, disability, and job loss.
Financial risk can be caused by a variety of circumstances - these factors may be in your control, such as your level of spending or lack of insurance, or they may be external, such as the economic climate or health issues.
By taking out protection policies, you can minimise the impact of financial risks. This can be in the form of income protection or other types of insurance. Moreover, having a healthy emergency fund will help safeguard you from any financial risks that aren’t covered by your insurance.
Income protection offers financial support if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It replaces part of your income and will continue to pay out regular, tax-free instalments until you’re able to return to work.
Financial stability means you have enough income to cover your expenses and have a buffer for emergencies. This can be achieved through a combination of protection policies and savings. Our Financial Risk Assessment can help you review your current situation and identify whether any improvements could be made.
