Types of coverage
1. Individual Life
(i) Term Assurance:
Is where the sum assured is paid to the insured upon death within the term specified in the policy. If the insured outlives the term specified in the policy, no payment is made and the insured does not receive any return from the premiums paid, they are solely for the purpose of life cover.
(ii) Endowment Assurance:
It’s an ideal plan that has been designed to adapt to individual needs, the plan includes life cover at a reasonable cost and has an added attraction of a wide choice of flexible terms. It provides continuous partial maturity benefits to the policy holder until the end of the term e.g. 10, 15, 20 or 25 years. Upon maturity of the policy, or the death of the policy holder (whichever comes first), the outstanding sum assured plus all accrued bonuses are paid to the insured.
(iii) Whole Life Assurance:
Is the most basic form of life assurance, offers a choice whereby the premiums may be payable throughout life. In the event of death, the sum assured together with accumulated bonuses is paid to the beneficiary under the policy.
