Your Retirement

If you’re planning your retirement, speak to Bev Ferris at Sapphire Financial Services.

Personal Insurances

Most Australians will protect their home, car or business, but neglect their most valuable assets-themselves and their family.

You don’t want to think about death in the prime of life, but it’s important to decide what will happen to your assets when you die. Or, what would happen if you became ill or injured and your income stopped tomorrow.

Whether you’re single or partnered, with or without children, put your plans in place now, so you can have some certainty for the years ahead.

One of the questions we are most commonly asked in relation to personal risk insurance is, “Why do I need it?” Well, we don’t hesitate to insure our car, our homes, our contents, so why hesitate insuring your biggest asset-your ability to generate your income.

Having personal risk insurance can provide financial protection for you and your family’s personal needs. It can be structured to provide for many things including protection against the loss of income, repayment of debts upon death or disability, and as we mentioned above, protection against the loss of income.

At Sapphire Financial Services, we will review your personal circumstances and advise you on the amount and type of personal risk insurance that will best suit your needs. We will review any current insurance policies and assess whether or not it still meets your needs.

Life Insurance

Pays out a lump sum to provide financial security to beneficiaries in the event of death of the insured.

Income Protection

Provides an income when you cannot earn one due to severe illness or disability. This will allow you to continue meeting your financial commitments (i.e. your mortgage, school fees, food) throughout your illness.

Trauma/Crisis Events

When an unpredictable event-such as physical impairment, heart attack, cancer or stroke-occurs without discrimination.

Total

Will provide a lump sum payment to you should you suffer an illness or injury, which totally or permanently prevents you from returning to work.
