Universal Life Insurance is designed to meet long term protection and investing needs. It combines life insurance and fund investment in one single, customizable policy. The investment in a universal life policy stays tax deferred until it is utilized. Without making additional deposit for investment, universal life is a regular life insurance at lower cost.
Universal life insurance can help you:
- Leave proceeds to your beneficiary – tax free
- Further your estate planning
- Build tax-deferred equity and accessible cash value over time (may be subject to taxation)
- Establish financial collateral for a bank loan
- Provide key person insurance coverage for your business (business continuity)
- Select from a wide range of investment fund options
From how you want to invest, to how much or little you want to invest, there are a variety of universal life coverage options that can be customized to meet your requirements. If you are interested in universal life but not investment sophisticated, we can make a universal life insurance plan unique to your own financial needs.
Whole life insurance offers a lifetime financial protection for your loved ones and a stable way to invest your money within an insurance policy. Typically, the premium for whole life insurance is guaranteed not to increase for the life of the contract.
Whole life insurance can be participating, where policyholders may receive dividends or non-participating, where policyholders receive investment returns on the whole life money pool. Dividends are affected by many factors, including investment returns, mortality rate, and company performance. On the contrary, non-participating whole life focuses only on how the whole life investment pool performs.
Whole life insurance is designed to cover your permanent insurance needs such as:
- Estate planning
- Funeral or other final expenses
- Income for your surviving spouse
- A financial legacy for your children
- Cash value accumulation for major expenses or retirement income

Term Life Insurance provides coverage over a limited period time at a fixed rate. It provides temporary or permanent protection for you and your beneficiaries in an affordable solution. It comes in five forms, term-10, term-20, term-30, term-65, term-life. However the premium will renew at a much higher rate at the end of each term period. (for term-10, term-20, term-30).

Critical illness insurance helps cover the unexpected costs and potential loss of income associated with a serious illness. Although your provincial health card covers some medical expenses, it does not cover everything. You may have to pay out of your own pocket medication, special treatment, nursing care and cost of travelling. Treating and recovering from an illness can have a devastating financial impact. Plus, if you’re unable to work during your recovery, the impact is even greater. Crtical illness can make up for the loss of income and let you focus on getting better.
With critical illness insurance, if you become sick with one of the covered conditions covered by your policy and survive the waiting period, you receive a cash benefit. You can then use the funds as you wish.
Most critical illness plans may have an option to add long term care or automatically build-in onto the plan. This adds an extra layer of protection without purchasing additional long term care insurance.
Return of premiums rider is also available to certain plans.
Disability Insurance or DI insures the beneficiary’s regular income against the risk of losing his/her income if a disability makes working impossible. The benefits of having disability insurance are as follows:
- It pays you a monthly benefit to replace your earnings.
- Benefits are tax free if the premium is paid with after tax income
- Flexibility is built into the plan. Some plans offer reduced benefits should a partial disability occurs
- Also suitable for business owners. Disability insurance reimburses business expenses to make sure your business is uninterrupted because of illness or injury.
- Options to refund partial premium after a pre-determined period of time if no disability claims have been made prior to that
Accidents happen every second, disability insurance aims to protect you, your family or your business and provide a continued income source to cover your daily expenditure, in the event of disability.
Many asked why we still need health and dental insurance, provided the government has covered for it. The reason is that the provincial coverage covers very little.

Your government may not pay for these medical expenses but that’s where health and dental insurance comes in.
