Wealth protection through life and personal risk insurance safeguards your financial future by providing a safety net in the event of death, serious illness, or loss of income. It ensures your loved ones and lifestyle are protected, allowing your long-term financial plans to stay on track even during life’s unexpected challenges.
Why wealth protection is so important
Many people focus on building wealth but overlook the need to protect it. The belief that it won’t happen to me” can leave even the best financial plans exposed in the event of an accident, illness, or unexpected death.
Ask yourself: What would your financial future – or that of your family – look like if something happened to you today?
At GDA, we take a comprehensive approach to wealth protection, integrating risk management and mitigation strategies that reflect your personal financial situation and life circumstances.
Risk management often includes personal insurance, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we work with a network of insurance specialists and underwriters to tailor policies to your needs and budget. We seek out high-quality cover with cost-effective premiums, ensuring you receive strong protection and fair treatment at claim time.
The main types of insurance
Each form of personal insurance plays a specific role in protecting your financial wellbeing:
Life Insurance
Provides a lump sum payment to your beneficiaries upon your death. This can help cover funeral expenses, outstanding debts, and ongoing financial support for your family. Life insurance is a crucial component of estate planning and can be customised to meet your specific needs.
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance
Pays a lump sum if you become totally and permanently disabled and are unable to work again. This benefit can be used for medical bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing living costs. TPD can be added to a life insurance policy or taken out separately.
Trauma Insurance (Critical Illness Cover)
Provides a lump sum payment if you’re diagnosed with a specified critical illness (e.g., cancer, heart attack, stroke) or suffer a major injury. This benefit supports you during treatment and recovery, helping to ease the financial pressure when you’re unable to work.
Income Protection Insurance
Offers a regular income stream if you’re temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury. This type of insurance helps cover everyday expenses and maintain your lifestyle while you recover. Policies can be tailored with options like waiting periods and benefit durations. Loss of income is often cited as one of the greatest financial risks.
Business Expenses Insurance
If you own a business, this insurance helps ensure continuity if you become ill, disabled, or pass away. It can cover operating costs, protect key staff, and support succession planning, helping to preserve your business and pass it on to the next generation.
While each policy type offers distinct advantages, they all share a common purpose: to provide financial protection and peace of mind during life’s most challenging moments. Choosing the right combination depends on your personal circumstances, family needs, and financial goals.
