3. I. What is risk cover?
Risk Cover - Protect you against financial loses,
and provides you with a cash payout should you
suffer one of the specified critical illnesses or
trauma events or become disabled.
When you are diagnosed with a serious illness or injured
your quality of life can be reduced significantly. Be
advised that you are likely to incur considerable additional
lifestyle adjustment expenses so risk cover is intended to
give you financial peace of mind and enables anyone to
afford the best possible care for their families.

The chances of acquiring a serious illness is
unfortunately increasing – you are 4 times more likely
to suffer a critical illness before you turn 65 than you
are to die.

cancer.

8. IV. When to get risk cover?
We all like to think that we will never suffer from
impairment or disability, but we have to be realistic
and accept the fact that you may get a serious illness.
The reality is that impairment, due to illness or an
accident can leave anyone in a position that could
disable you and prevent you from reaching your full
potential.
