Financial Adviser Erin Truscott Explains Our Insurance Services

Understanding the importance of personal insurance is crucial for protecting your financial future. In this video, Erin breaks down how our insurance services can safeguard you and your loved ones from unexpected events.

Erin Truscott:
Hi, I’m Erin from Direct Wealth, and I want to talk to you about retirement planning. So, when we sit down with a client at Direct Wealth who is there for some retirement planning, the number one thing is to really understand what they want to achieve and what this looks like. How old are they going to be? Are they retiring together, if they’re a couple, or separately, and what they want this process to look like? Once we’ve had the opportunity to understand everything about your super and any other avenues that you’re going to be able to accumulate income from and to use in your retirement, we will then build a plan to make sure we can monitor that as you start and go through retirement.

One of the biggest problems we see people run into when they don’t get advice is really not understanding the complex landscape that retirement brings, and this comes with all kinds of limitations, things like the age we can access our super, the tax that comes along with super because there are taxable components, how we can transition to retirement specifically, and when we can then fully access that super without any boundaries.

So, if we think about what impacts a client’s retirement lifestyle the most, for us at Direct Wealth, one of the key things would be trying to start as early as you can. Because if we can start putting in place those strategies for building and tax minimization nice and early, then this will have a significant impact on your capital amount, which gives you more income at retirement.

After you’ve sat with your Direct Wealth advisor and you’ve built that retirement plan, the next part is what we believe is the most important, and that’s the ongoing review process. And this is just all about working with you on an ongoing basis to understand anything that comes up or that changes to ensure that we can adapt that plan as you continue to move into retirement.

So, if you are thinking about starting on that retirement planning journey, please do reach out to Direct Wealth, and we’ll team you up with the best advisor for you to help you start that journey.

What Kind of Insurance Do You Need?

Insurance is a crucial part of a solid financial plan, giving you security and peace of mind when you need it most. It protects you and your loved ones from financial hardship due to unexpected events. Personal insurance covers a range of areas, including health, income, life, and accidents, ensuring financial security and peace of mind.

In this section, we’ll explain three important types of personal insurance that we specialise in: income protection insurance, life insurance, and total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance. Each of these offers unique benefits and helps protect your financial future.

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection insurance replaces part of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. This is especially useful for self-employed individuals who don’t have employer-provided benefits.

By securing the best income protection insurance in Australia, you can maintain financial stability during tough times. You can even get this insurance through your superannuation for added convenience.

Here’s Why Most People Get Income Protection Insurance:

  • Monthly Benefits: Provides a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, helping you manage living expenses.
  • Customisable Policies: Tailor your policy with options for benefit period and waiting period that best suit your needs.
  • Self-Employment Coverage: Specialised policies available for self-employed individuals, ensuring continuous income protection.
  • Superannuation Integration: Obtain income protection insurance through your superannuation for seamless coverage.
  • Redundancy Coverage: Some policies offer protection during redundancy, providing additional security.

Life Insurance

Life insurance provides a financial payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away, ensuring your loved ones are financially secure. It can also be bundled with income protection for a comprehensive safety net.

Here’s Why Most People Get Life Insurance:

  • Financial Security: Ensures your loved ones receive a lump sum payment to cover expenses and maintain their lifestyle.
  • Terminal Illness Benefits: Offers financial support if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, providing peace of mind during challenging times.
  • Tax-Deductible Premiums: Some life insurance premiums may be tax-deductible, providing additional financial advantages.
  • Comprehensive Plans: Combine life insurance with income protection for a holistic coverage approach.
  • Customised Policies: Tailored life insurance plans can be matched to your specific needs and financial situation.

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance

TPD insurance provides a lump sum payment if you become totally and permanently disabled and can’t work again. This coverage ensures you have the financial support needed to manage your expenses and maintain your quality of life.

Here’s Why Most People Get TPD Insurance:

  • Lump Sum Payment: Provides a significant payment if you become permanently disabled, helping to cover medical costs and living expenses.
  • Integrated Coverage: Death and total permanent disability insurance combines death benefits with TPD coverage for comprehensive protection, giving you a greater degree of protection. 
  • Ongoing Financial Support: Ensures you have the resources to manage expenses and adapt to lifestyle changes resulting from disability.

By understanding these essential insurance types and their benefits, you can make informed decisions to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you have any questions or need personalised advice, contact us today to explore your options.
