Income Protection Solutions

We believe that protecting income is the foundation of financial resilience. Without an income, most people would struggle to maintain their lifestyle, leaving them and their families vulnerable if they’re unable to work due to illness or injury.

A 30 year old non-smoking couple has a 62% chance of being unable to work for two months or more, based on a retirement age of 68¹. We have a range of Income Protection solutions that can be tailored to suit your client’s needs and protect their most important asset.
