As with every group of businesses, there’s an association for the insurance industry. It’s called the Insurance Information Institute. When individual insurers fear adverse publicity, the III usually gets the job of making general announcements. That way, the news comes out with less damage to the member companies. So, for example, when there was flooding because of the melting snow and then the torrential rains, it was left to the III to warn people that the majority of policies do not cover damage caused when sewers back up. That’s not the most reassuring of news. Making equally bad reading was a report that premium rates for property insurance were likely to rise by an average of 3% this year. This reflects both the aforementioned bad weather and the rise in the costs of repairs. You might not have noticed it yet, but builders have been steadily increasing their charges. The price of gas has been rising, labor costs are up, replacement materials are more expensive – it’s all bad news even though there’s supposed to be a recession.
So why might you have a heart attack when your renewal notice hits the mailbox? Although the politicians may not have accepted the reality of climate change, the insurance industry is watching the statistics and reassessing weather risks state-by-state. There’s been tornadoes and major storms across the southern states. Read the rest of this entry »

One way of looking at the choice between term and permanent life insurance for your life cover is as a lease and a purchase. When you take out a term policy, you lease the right to death benefits during the term. When the contract ends, you have no further interest. But when you buy a permanent policy, it stays in force during your lifetime and accumulates a cash value from a tax-deferred savings component. So a permanent policy is term insurance plus an investment account and many buy this kind of policy because you can borrow from the cash component or surrender a part of the policy during your lifetime. Because of the savings or investment component, permanent policies cost more than term policies.
The first main issue for you to consider is the scale of the investment element. Over the last ten years, the stock market has outperformed other forms of investment. It’s only recently that the DJIA and other indicators have begun to fall. Thus, if all you want is high growth, don’t buy policies of this type. Buy term life insurance and make your own investment decisions. Insurance companies are not wealth managers with a mission to maximize your capital. They are conservative investment managers whose only mission is to provide steady growth (if possible) over time. Remember, to maintain the tax efficiencies, the policy should be in force at least fifteen years. Always think long term and, so long as the policy has the required number of years in play, the benefits pass to your beneficiaries tax free. The different types of permanent insurance policies give you a choice on how your savings are to be invested for your life plan. It’s up to you to investigate the options and to be comfortable with the decisions you make about risk. Read the rest of this entry »

How much auto coverage to buy is the most common question most car owners ask when it comes to buying an insurance policy. The simple answer to this question is buying as much as you can afford and as much as your car really requires. But of course, the amounts will differ significantly between those who have brand new mid class cars, and those who drive old vehicles or buy their first insurance policy.
Drivers who have older vehicles or low cost cars are very likely to overpay for their insurance coverage. That is because most policies carry average amounts of comprehensive coverage, which are suitable for new mid range cars and are linked to the purchase value of the car. But as time go by and the value of your car decreases the amount of comprehensive coverage tends to be higher the actual amount you need. The same applies for low cost vehicles, which initially have a lower value than the average car.
