Tenzing Pacific Services helps you get it right — from the type of life insurance to the provider to the amount of coverage.
Term life insurance is the most straightforward type of life insurance, where a policyholder takes out a policy for a fixed duration of time, the term. If the policyholder passes away during the term, then the insurer will pay out the benefit as specified. Term-life insurance pays out on death from all causes and usually has options to add on disability, critical illness or higher accident cover.Â
The duration of the term is up to the policyholder and is one contributing factor into the premium in addition to policyholder's age, smoking status, gender, sum insured value and health, among other factors.Â
Term life insurance is different from universal, whole life, or permanent life insurance in that it provides coverage only for a specified amount of time. Once the term expires, there is no cash back element -- the policy is over. For this reason, term life insurance is very affordable.Â
Rather than selecting a specific term, with whole life insurance the policyholder is covered for their whole life. This will guarantee to pay the benefit out so long as premiums are paid and the claim is valid. Payments are still made every year, or can be condensed into a 10-year period. There is no cash back or refund element. Premiums are fixed for the duration of the term, based on your age at entry.Â
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that, like other permanent insurance, has a cash value element and offers lifetime coverage as long as you pay your premiums. Unlike whole life insurance, universal life allows you to raise or lower your premiums within certain limits, and it can be cheaper than whole life coverage.
As part of a broader holistic consulting methodology, your Tenzing advisor will work with you to determine exactly how much life insurance coverage you need, based on your assets, liabilities, final costs and your family’s ongoing and future needs. This data-driven approach makes sure you’re neither under- nor over-insured, allowing for peace of mind should the worst happen.Â
