Insurance

Insurance is a form of risk management that is intended to minimize financial and other losses potentially associated with risks to your assets, business, or health. Some examples of risk are personal and professional liability, business ownership, property loss, and catastrophic illness or disability. Your first line of defense is to identify your sources of risk and then to either avoid or minimize the major exposures. Your last line of defense is insurance. 


 

A life insurance policy can help protect your family's future financial needs. Both genetics and lifestyle affect your risk profile. Being overweight, eating poorly, failing to exercise, smoking, driving unsafely, and not wearing a seatbelt will increase your insurance premiums. On the other hand, making healthier lifestyle decisions can help to reduce your insurance premiums. Although you have no control over your genetics, you do have control over how you live your life. Educate yourself on how making healthy choices can not only improve your general health and wellness, but can also have a direct impact on your health care costs.

 

 

 

Group life insurance, as opposed to an individual policy, provides insurance protection to a group of people. The most common example is an employer purchased policy offered to employees as part of a benefit package. If you are an employer and are interested in providing group life insurance as part of your employee benefit package, please see our Employee Benefits page for more information on our services.

 

 

Asset protection planning manages risks to your wealth. Lawsuits, accidents, property damage, and other financial risks are facts of everyday life. Asset protection planning looks to transfer the risk of these events through:

  • Insurance
  • Repositioning asset ownership
  • Other protections available under the law

Starting and running a business carries its own set of risk exposures. Please see our Executive Benefits page for more detailed information regarding those risk exposures.
