Life insurance as protection - term insurance

Term insurance, also referred to as "temporary insurance", offers you financial protection should you die within a set period called "the term". This period can be 10, 15 or 20 years even though you can obtain policies to cover you for periods as short as a month. Should you be alive at the end of the term no payment is made.

Decreasing term

The sum insured is reduced by a fixed amount annually, decreasing to nil at the end of the term. These policies are usually used to cover a mortgage or other loan; they pay off any outstanding repayment should you die early. Of note is that nothing is payable at the end of the term.

Increasing term

The sum insured goes up every year by a fixed percentage of the initial sum insured. These policies are aimed to increase your insurance protection as your earnings increase.

Family income benefit

Should you die during the policy term a regular income is paid to your dependants for the rest of that period. The income can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly. Certain policies provide an income which increases at a fixed rate each year, by 3% or 5%.
