Personal risk insurances

Ensuring your wealth protection

Managing risk is a crucial part of financial planning. While strategies for wealth creation assist in helping you achieve your goals, strategies for wealth protection – personal risk insurances – help protect your ability to preserve your wealth, should you lose the ability to work or suffer a serious illness.

At Pinnacle Wealth Management, advice on personal risk insurances is integral to our planning service. We look at your current assets and liabilities, how much you would need to maintain your family’s standard of living, and any major outgoings that would be compromised in the event of a catastrophic change in your circumstances. Personal risk insurances fall into the following categories:

  • Life insurance – provides financial protection for your dependants in the event of your death
  • Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) – is additional to life insurance cover and pays out a lump sum if you can’t ever work again due to illness or injury
  • Income protection – generally pays you up to 75% of your income if you can’t work due to illness or injury
  • Trauma insurance – pays a lump sum if you suffer a specified traumatic event such as a diagnosis of cancer or coronary heart disease

"We have been clients at [Pinnacle Wealth Management] for about 20 years. It has been a very enjoyable and profitable time for us. We have been safely steered through the GFC, both our retirements and various other major events that have shaped the nature of financial planning in our world. Through the entire time we have been delighted with the care and careful management of our funds through the leadership of [our now retired advisor] and the friendly and efficient support of all the ancillary staff. He has become a personal friend as well as the person whom we trust implicitly to handle our portfolio and to give us sage and pertinent advice on many areas of our concern. We will miss his presence but we are sure that he has chosen well with [our new advisor], and we look forward to forging a similar relationship with him.'"

Kelvin & Melanie TConsultant
"My association with [my advisor] began many years ago, with a requirement to diversify my portfolio from bricks and mortar to Australian and International equities. At that time [my advisor] worked for another financial services business. I had no hesitation in following [my advisor] to Pinnacle. [My advisor] has the qualifications, but it is his experience and guidance that have been the founding safeguard for my family and I throughout the varying market conditions. [My advisors] expertise and guidance throughout the years has provided us in achieving our goals along with our family needs. His innovation and tailored strategies have kept us on track in reaching our desired endgame.
