At Havend, we strongly advocate using low-cost term insurance to cover your income protection needs during your earning years. Term insurance provides life insurance coverage (death benefit) ensuring your dependents are well provided for until they become financially independent, or you reach retirement age. For protection against critical illness or occupational disability, the coverage should last until retirement.
