is a life assurance contract which pays out a fixed sum of money if
you die during the term of the contract. It is designed to help you
protect your dependants against financial problems in the event of
your death.
Term assurance
guarantees a tax-free lump sum if the life assured dies within the
specified period in return for a fixed monthly or annual premium.
Should a critical
illness option be selected a tax free lump sum is guaranteed if
the life assured becomes critically ill or dies within the term
of the policy which ever comes first.

it work?

on the amount of cover you need, this is known as the ‘sum assured’.

will stay the same throughout the term of your plan unless you
increase the amount of cover.

on the length of time for which you want to be covered, known
as the ‘term’,
- You pay a
regular premium. The amount you pay is worked out according to
a number of factors such as your age, state of health, sex, term
of contract and any options selected.
- If you have
included critical illness cover, the premium may increase in some
cases if you change your occupation
- At the end
of the term the policy finishes and there is no maturity value.
