What is a financial advisor?

A financial advisor is a professional who uses all of their expertise and knowledge to help you make informed decisions about what you should do with your money. When it comes to life insurance, they help you manage and understand that too. Basically, you should see them as your own personal financial planning partner. It is their job to help you decide on the types of investments you should make, the kinds of insurance you should take out and the sorts of tax planning that you need to do.

The best part is that anyone (and everyone) can have a financial advisor. You don’t have to earn a certain amount or be in a certain tax bracket. All you need is the will to make better financial decisions – especially for your future.

Benefits of a financial advisor helping you with life insurance

#1: They will help you prepare for the unexpected with quality life cover

The truth is that you cannot predict the future, but you can prepare for it and the best way to do that is with comprehensive life cover. Your financial advisor will help you plan ahead by looking at how you can support your family should something ever happen to you. This means that you will be able to grant your family a sense of greater financial comfort and protection in the event of your absence.

#2: They will grant you peace of mind

Life cover will truly give you the ultimate peace of mind, for both you and your loved ones. This is because your financial advisor will help you create a necessary financial safety net that will help minimise any threats to your money. By extension, this also minimises any threats to your family. This means that elements such as your debts, outstanding bills and more will be taken care of on your behalf with a comprehensive life insurance policy. 

#3: They will prove that life cover is affordable and easy

Many people avoid taking out an insurance policy because they either believe that it is too difficult to do, or that it requires too much money. But seriously… you truly couldn’t invest in a more worthwhile cause than your family’s well-being. You know?

Regardless, these worries aren’t facts, and your financial advisor will prove it to you. Taking out a life insurance policy isn’t complicated or even long-winded, it’s surprisingly simple (especially when you do it with Hollard – nudge nudge).
