Life Insurance

Group Life Assurance policy is open to employers of labour, clubs, associations, unions, religious groups, cooperatives and other friendship and social organizations e.t.c who exist  as a group.
The Pension Reform Act 2004 made it mandatory for all employers of labour having up to five employees to maintain a Group Life Assurance policy for at least 3 times of their annual total emolument.

• Death – The policy provides for the payment of the sum assured in the event of the death of a member of the scheme from any cause, natural and accidental.
• Disappearance (Presumed Death) – The policy also provides for the payment of the sum assured for those in common employment in the event that an insured person disappears and is not seen for a period of 12 months and there is sufficient evidence to assume that the member is dead. However, the person receiving the sum will sign an undertaking to refund it if the missing person is subsequently found to be living.

In the event of the death of a member of the scheme, the sum assured designated for that  member becomes payable.

• It is a yearly renewable term assurance
• A single master policy and certificate are issued covering all the members
• No medical examination for sums assured below our free cover limit
• It is flexible; members can join or leave the scheme at any time 
• The sums assured/benefit are at least 3 times the annual total emolument for those in employment, and any required flat/level benefit for other groups
• The policy coverage is worldwide
• Minimum age at entry is 18 years
• It gives peace of mind
• It is a without profit Life Assurance policy
• Sum assured or benefit is payable only on death or disappearance
• Premiums are paid by the Employer/Organization

• A person, who ceases to be a member of our Group Life Scheme, can convert it to an Individual Life policy for the same sum assured without undergoing any medical examination. The new policy will then be administered in line with our individual life policies.

Term insurance is an effective solution if you are:

• Looking for affordability and value
• Looking for temporary protection (for example, to cover a mortgage or business loan, or until your children are finished school)
• A business owner who needs key person protection and/or a way to fund buy/sell agreements

Whole life insurance is may be a good choice if you are:

• Interested in lifetime coverage, and premiums that don’t change
• Looking for a permanent guarantee that will help protect your family, cover the cost of your funeral and let you make plans for your estate

Simply put, endowment plans are life insurance policies that not only cover the individual’s life in case of an unfortunate event, but also offer a maturity benefits at the end of the term. After a specific period of time- called ‘maturity’- they are designed to pay a lump sum amount. The insurance company will pay this assured sum to the endowment policy holder’s nominees in case of holder’s death or to the holder himself on a fixed date in the future.

Endowment life insurance policies have certain obvious benefits.

For starters, the policy holder has a pool of savings when the policy matures. He can either reinvest the amount or use it to enjoy life post-retirement. Thus, this policy is almost risk-free and offers a steady amount on a fixed date as long as the premium is paid.

You can also use this money for your monthly expenses, your child’s education or wedding, or even for a much-deserved vacation.

• Are you looking for a low-risk plan with the dual benefit of insurance and investment?
• Are you looking for a plan with a long-term investment perspective that gives you a lump sum amount in the end?

If yes, then an endowment plan is suitable for you.
