Life, critical illness and income protection

Complete

Trusts, wills and powers of attorney support, so the cover actually reaches your family.

Your language

Many of our advisers speak more than one language. Ask for advice in yours.

Questions people ask

Do I really need life insurance?

If anyone depends on your income — a partner, children, someone you support — life insurance makes sure they can keep their home and their plans if you're no longer there.

What's the difference between income protection and critical illness cover?

Income protection replaces part of your monthly income while you can't work. Critical illness cover pays a one-off lump sum if you're diagnosed with a specified serious illness. Many people need a mix.

Do I have to speak to someone on the phone?

No. Most of our clients work with their adviser by WhatsApp and email. We're happy to call or meet by video if you prefer.

Talk to an adviser

Send us a message and an FEI adviser will reply — usually the same working day.
