Insurance
Insurance is an extremely useful tool for risk minimization, spousal income replacement, business tax planning, estate tax planning, etc. However, like any tool, it needs to be used in the appropriate situation.
In Canada, all insurance advisors are paid commissions by the insurance companies for their insurance advice. A flat fee option does not yet exist. However, being fiduciary financial planners, we only recommend insurance policies after careful need analysis.
Insurance Process
- Fact-checking, need analysis and benefits comparison
- Underwriting
- Policy presentation
- Policy administration and annual follow up
