What is term life insurance?

It is temporary coverage that provides a one-time, tax-free, cash benefit to your chosen beneficiaries when you die.

It is often a suitable solution for times when financial risk is high, but available funds are limited, or a low-cost solution is all that is needed.

Most term life policies are both renewable and convertible - meaning you can renew coverage at the end of the chosen term, and/or convert to permanent insurance regardless of any changes to your health, occupation, or lifestyle.

How does term life work?

  • Choose coverage amount and term length: Term coverage provides protection for a fixed amount and duration. Duration is typically 10, 15, or 20 or more years. You can choose the amount of time you need.
  • Pay the premiums: The coverage will remain active so long as premiums continue to be paid. You can choose to pay monthly or annually.
  • Benefit is paid: If you pass away while your policy is active, the person(s) or charity you named as beneficiary receive a tax-free cash benefit.
  • Policy renewal: When the term is up, your advisor will contact you to review your coverage. By default your policy will automatically renew at a higher premium. Alternatively, you can convert it to permanent life insurance, or terminate if the coverage is no longer required.
