It's when you need to make a claim that you realise just how wise investing in a critical illness policy can be.
Considering just how many lives are affected by critical illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and stroke, it is surprising that more people do not take out critical illness insurance.
The principle is straightforward; in the event of one or more of the specified illnesses being diagnosed, the insurance company will pay out a lump sum after a specified survival period. Often, critical illness cover is combined with other types of insurance and may even provide an investment element so that, for example, a given sum will be paid out on the death of the insured.
Note - Critical illness policies should be checked as only some forms of cancer, heart attack and stroke are covered by this type of insurance.
IF THE POLICY HAS NO INVESTMENT ELEMENT THEN IT WILL HAVE NO CASH IN VALUE AT ANY TIME AND WILL CEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM. IF PREMIUMS ARE NOT MAINTAINED, THEN COVER WILL LAPSE.
CRITICAL ILLNESS PLANS MAY NOT COVER ALL THE DEFINITIONS OF A CRITICAL ILLNESS. THE DEFINITIONS VARY BETWEEN PRODUCT PROVIDERS AND WILL BE DESCRIBED IN THE KEY FEATURES AND POLICY DOCUMENT IF YOU GO AHEAD WITH A PLAN.
Very happy with both the service and products recommended by Louisa at Metcalf Wealth Management, I found the whole process to be very easy, and was put under no pressure whatsoever to accept any particular product. In short, good honest advice by a very friendly adviser.
After much searching and initial enquiries with finance / investment management advisors it proved the right decision to go with Metcalf. At all stages confirmation that solution options met with my needs was paramount and always with a relaxed very professional approach. Louisa and the team are extremely knowledgeable.”
I have had a relationship with the Metcalf Wealth Managers team since 2017, and they have been very helpful in amalgamating various personal pension schemes into a SIPP and another longer-term pension structure. The team have also been integral regarding monthly drawdowns from the SIPP in a tax-efficient way, keeping me fully informed on the corresponding paperwork trail as necessary. I fully recommend their advisory services accordingly.
Metcalf Wealth Managers provide a highly professional service in a very friendly and helpful way which I value and appreciate. Louisa is extremely knowledgeable and explains matters properly without being confusing. I trust her guidance, advice and recommendations and I feel that my investments are being well managed and are in very capable hands.
I have been very pleased with the quality of work you carried out on my behalf and would be happy to both recommend you to others and approach you for your assistance again once my finances and/or situation requires it.
