– Why life insurance is NOT the same as car insurance, (unless you’ve had no health issues – unlikely).
– Strategies to manage and reduce insurance costs as time goes by
– Stepped versus level insurance premiums
– Why decreasing cover is easy and increasing is like a new insurance application
– How the risk to insurers has changed, and how this impacts the process
