Learning how insurance works takes the mystery out of this important industry. It's vital to know the basic concepts of coverage because being aware of what's available and how it works can have a major impact on choices and advice. Armed with this knowledge, Advisors will be able to determine the right policies that will protect lifestyle, assets, and property.
The session will be full of interesting and valuable answers to questions such as:
- Why does life insurance have so many tax advantages?
- How does life insurance (really) work?
- How do insurance companies make money?
- What are the pros and cons of donating life insurance?
- How do I evaluate an insurance proposal?
- What are the main sound insurance strategies?
- What goes wrong with insurance?
- How can insurance literacy be improved?
- What’s the effect of COVID-19 on insurance products?
