Can the right protection help you become more financially resilient?

Have you heard of the ‘protection gap’? You probably know someone who’s fallen into it.

Most of us know to get travel or pet insurance, or even just insure our mobile phone. But when it comes to really big life events, cover can easily get overlooked – causing a gap.

Far too many people aren’t properly protected against life-changing events, like losing their job or not being able to work because they’ve fallen ill. Which means that when these things do happen, they can have a much bigger impact than they need to.

Luckily, cover like income protection and critical illness can help people become more financially resilient. So, if you do have a financial shock, it doesn’t have to turn everything upside down. And it can be surprisingly simple and affordable.

If you’ve had a big milestone recently, or a change in your circumstances, it might be the right time to relook at your protection needs.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.

I have over 10 years of experience in the financial industry, including 5 years as an Investment Analyst & Portfolio Manager with HSBC, where I co-managed $500m of private client money across multi-asset portfolios (equities, bonds, hedge funds, property, commodities).

I also have extensive experience as a business coach & consultant, where I built strong connections with my clients and helped them to better understand their challenges, and then to execute strategies to overcome them and achieve the goals and aspirations most important to them.

The area of finances is a difficult one for many, and for a number of different reasons. My aim is to not only be your source of knowledge and support with your personal financial matters, but also to be a pillar of support throughout your life. Together, we will work to ensure you are protected from financial risks in life and put you in the best position to achieve the goals most meaningful to you. I can build a cash-flow forecast model which will help to keep you on track both now and in the future, allowing us to make adjustments to your plan as circumstances change as they invariably do. I will help to give you peace of mind, knowing that your personalised financial plan is in place, enabling you to make informed decisions and enjoy life with less worry about finances.

In my personal life I like to be active, going on walks in nature, and playing tennis, golf, and basketball. I love to spend time with my family, and our young twin boys and little doggie definitely keep us entertained. I really enjoy producing music and find it very meditative. I am also fascinated by psychology and personal development.
