Life Insurance: How to select the company that's right for you...

Not all insurance companies are the same. Although many may appear similar, they often differ in terms of their financial strength, credit rating and willingness to provide policy payment.

When it comes to selecting a company based on financial strength we advise selecting a company that holds an A rating or better, such as AA or AAA. It’s worth noting that independent credit rating companies provide insurance companies with their ratings and take into account the company’s policy features and ability and willingness to provide policy payment.

To obtain a life insurance policy, customers are obliged to complete lengthy applications. For this reason, many are tempted by the much abbreviated applications attached to the "easy-to-apply life insurance policies". In spite of their less intrusive nature there are a number of draw backs associated with the "easy-to-apply life insurance policies". These include a greater number of restrictions and higher premiums as the insurance company is unable to accurately assess one’s level of risk.
