WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING LIFE INSURANCE, THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPROMISE
Insurance is a way of managing risks. When you buy insurance, you transfer the cost of a potential loss to the insurance company in exchange for a fee, known as the premium. Insurance companies invest the funds securely, so it can grow, and pay out when there’s a claim or maturity. When you buy insurance, you're buying a promise. It's a promise that if something catastrophic happens to you, your insurance is going to assist your family to regain normalcy.
