Here at Holborn, we believe that insurance is the foundation of your financial planning pyramid – the solid base from which all of your other financial plans are made possible. And what could be more important than life insurance? While death can be a difficult topic to think about, never mind raise in conversation with loved ones, it nonetheless looms as the only certainty in life. Yet most of us actively avoid thinking about our own mortality and it often takes the death of someone we love to make us think about our own plans for such an event. The Funeral Planning Authority recently conducted a survey of over-40-year-olds and found that 57% had given no thought to preparing for or financially planning a funeral. However, another report found that the cost of funerals has risen by more than 90 per cent on average since 2004 in the UK (The Sun Life Cost of Dying Report 2015). Those left behind can be caught out by the immediate and sometimes unexpectedly high cost of funeral expenses, not to mention uncertainty about the financial future. As part of a holistic approach to your financial wellbeing, ensuring that your family is taken care of in the event of unexpected serious illness or death should be high on your list of priorities.We have 18 offices across the globe and we manage over $2billion for our 20,000+ clients
