An adviser’s insight

Graphic of people learning about protection

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.

More about me

I am highly motivated and maintain a positive outlook on life, taking a practical approach to problem-solving to deliver the best financial advice to my clients. As a holistic planner, I believe financial plans should be built on solid foundations, including appropriate protection cover and cash flow forecasting techniques, to establish manageable and achievable long-term financial objectives.

Outside of work, I am passionate about grassroots football and am an FA-qualified football coach. I spend most of my spare time involved in football, whether managing a grassroots team in the Surrey Youth League or supporting my son, a talented goalkeeper, at his numerous training and trial events. However, I also cherish relaxing at home in the garden with my family.
