5. The product risk profile of the client and their expectations of cash flow
and relevant taxation obligations are established.

insurance the insurer does not die but suffers from a total and
permanent disability for which the individual is not able to do any
kind of work. This money is received as a coverage insurance
against permanent and total disability of the client. This money
could be used to pay of mortgages or other outstanding debts or it
can provide you with an income and pay for ongoing costs like
medical bills. / 1
3. What is Crisis/Trauma
Insurance?
Trauma Insurance provides a one off lump sum payment in the
event of any one of 30 or more medical conditions. Trauma
insurance can be stated as a lumpsum payment which is provided
to the client when it is discovered that the client is facing from
serious illness. They range from cancer and heart attacks through
to organ transplants, This will help with the associated cost with
recovery from a major illness. It will help pay for any necessary
lifestyle changes and medical expenses such as nursing care or
wheelchair access or necessary changes to the home. There is a
waiting period of 90 days after first taking out the policy. (Some
insurers will cover children between the ages of 1 to 12) This policy

age of 16 up to the age of 64.There is a buy back option available
on this policy after 12 months. / 1

must be declared unfit for work by a doctor to be totally unfit or
unable to work. These benefits will continue to be paid even if the
insured becomes entitled to other benefits such as TPD during that
time.
Stepped and level premiums are available with this policy. You may
also have an agreed value specified in this policy so that even if
your income decreases over time your amount payable will still be
the same. There are exclusions that may apply like war, intentional

as Utility bills, accountant fees, rent, rates etc. . It also can give
income protection for the key person or business owner. The client
has to be working for over 25 hours per week and 48 weeks per

but rejected for these clients, explaining why they were not as appropriate as the ones
you recommended above.
FNSASICX503A.2.3
Alternative Strategies not Recommended and why Mark
To put Term Life in Superannuation; however this wasn’t an option as it is important to
build up their superfunds. I also considered telling the clients about bundling as an
option as the premiums are less. I would also explain why I don’t recommend this as
the sum insured is only paid once because any TDP or Trauma payment is simply an
advance of part or all of death cover. I believe that in the event of any one of these
things happening they would need the full amount’s to cover their debts, change their
house also to educate and provide for their children

2. Lawyer Bill and Mary do not currently have a will. They also
need to draw up a Power of Attorney. They may need
to draw up a buy /sell agreement The lawyer can
effectively perform legal services for the client / 2
(h) Referring to the client’s attitudes regarding insurance, what do you think their
combined product risk profile is, in relation to the insurance products being offered?
FNSASICX503A.2.4
No Client Risk Profile Mark
1.  Conservative  Moderate  Speculative / 1
Given this risk profile, how would it affect the strategies you may recommend? Mark
2. I will still recommend the full amount of cover even though Mary only wanted to have
Life Insurance cover due to the fact that her friend had recently lost her husband the
clients may choose to take only the Life policy. / 5

Insurance 19 of 36
1. What level of Term Life
Insurance do you
recommend?
Bearing in mind that this is a lump sum payment on death but also
in some cases earlier if there is a Terminal illness clause.
Bill I would recommend for you $1,200,000
As discussed you would like to ensure all your bills were going to be
paid so Mary and the children would not need to struggle.
You have Liabilities of $150,000
Once you debt is paid out there will be a balance of $1,050,000
over 20 years this would be $52,500 per year although your
expenses are $70,000 you would have no mortgage payment and
with Mary returning to fulltime work next year you have agreed this
be a comfortable amount of cover for you.
Mary $600,000 would be enough as there is no need to over insure
as Bill earns $100,000per year, Bill would be able to pay out the
remaining debt of $150,000 leaving $450,000 to invest and put
aside for the Private Secondary Education that you are planning for
the children, Bill you could also pay for a Nanny and or house
keeper with these funds.
Bill $1,200,000. As this amount would pay out their mortgage and
provide for the education of the children through to the end of
University approximately 20 years. It would also provide a
continuing level of the current lifestyle if invested. They could then
continue to live in their home without any real financial hardships.
Mary $600,000 as she is not the main provider. Bill could pay of the
mortgage and continue living in the house. As Mary is the main
homemaker the remaining sum could be invested and Bill could use
the interest to provide a Nanny or housekeeping services if needed.
Characteristics: -
Pays benefits in the event of death only
Stepped or level premiums
Guaranteed renewable to the age of 99
Entry age between 16 to 65
Advantages:
Premiums are Tax deductible if paid through Superfund
Guaranteed renewable to 99
Level or stepped premiums
Disadvantages:
Do not cover for war, Suicide if within the first 13 months,
Intentional self- inflicted injury
Not tax deductible except through superfund.
AIDS unless it is a special extension
Alternatives Considered:
To put Term Life into Superannuation however this was not
advisable as it is important to build up their superfunds.
Stepped are best as they are cheaper and the extra money will be
needed in the next 20 years due to the added expenses of
educating the children.

2. What level of TPD Insurance
do you recommend? Bill and Mary as we discussed TPD insurance is a lump sum
payment to assist in the event of a permanent disability this can
take up to 6mths to pay out unless one of the following occurs, loss
of sight/limb enablement, A cognitive element loss or a loss of
independent existence. The funds could be used for home
renovations such as railings and or ramps. This is the amount
discussed and approved by you both as you are also both adding
this to your Term life insurance
Bill with $1,000,000.00 of own occupation cover this will ensure that
your Liability of $150,000 is paid out and money is left over for
medical bills etc.
Mary as you are not the main wage earner, under any occupation
cover $5000.000.00 would be a sufficient amount to take the
pressure of by paying out the $150,000 and paying for medical
expenses renovations etc.
Bill
I would advise his own occupation and that he should have
$1,000,000.00 With this amount Bill would be able to afford to
reeducate himself after he has paid out the mortgage and any
debts.
Mary
She doesn’t qualify for own occupation so would have to go under
any occupation. I would consider the sum of $5000, 000.00 as she
is not the main breadwinner. In both cases these sums could also
be used for any medical care that may be needed.
Characteristics:
TDP is like Term Insurance in that it pays a lump sum payment.
This money can be used to renovate the home Ramps Etc. In the
event of life changing injury or illness.
Waiting period is generally 6 months
Can also be used for paying debts, mortgage or supplement
income.
Advantages:
Can be used for long term Medical expenses
Debts can be paid
Disadvantages:
Waiting period is 6 months or more
Cover is limited to 65
Exclusions on some occupations.
Alternative:
If I placed Bill under any occupation it may make it harder for him to
claim when it is needed the most.
Lower premium for Mary however I felt extra pay may help when
needed in the home as a result of disability or severe illness.

3. What level of Crisis/Trauma
Insurance do you
recommend?
Bill and Mary We have chatted about Trauma insurance and you
have both agreed that it is important to you, you are happy with
$250,000 for Bill and $125,000 for you Wendy because of the high
premiums you believe this will assist with any renovations or extra
nursing care that may be needed in the event of a Trauma cover
being executed for example heart attack stroke or cancer.
Bill $250,000.00 and Mary $125,000.00 At present they are both in
excellent health. This can be reviewed and changed at a later date
Characteristics
Available for occupations excluded from TPD
Covers over 30 illness Cancer , stroke, multiple sclerosis , heart
and artery disease
One of lump sum payment
Advantages:
Compliments TDP
Covers many common illnesses
Cover up to $2,000,000.00
Disadvantages:
Premiums are more expensive
Alternative:
Increasing levels however increased costs were not justifiable at
this time. Can be reviewed at a later date after overseas holiday
and as the client’s age.
I have also mentioned Trauma cover for the children and this also
will be considered at a later time. / 5
4. What level of Income
Protection Insurance do you
recommend?
Bill $7,500.00 per month.
This is the maximum benefits he can have as it is 75% of his
current wage. This amount will cover all monthly expenses and
allow a little for extras.
Mary does not qualify as she only works 20 hours per week.
Characteristics:
Pays monthly to replace income losses due to inability to work.
Client can choose their waiting period.
Advantages:
Benefits are paid in addition to TPD and other covers few
Exclusions.
Disadvantages:
Business expenses are not covered.
Pregnancy is not covered.
Alternatives:
I considered a lower level however felt the higher level was justified
as Mary is only working 20 hours per week and if for some reason
Bill had to claim they’d need the extra income.
Stepped premiums were once again cheaper.
Agreed value was considered but as Bill’s wage will increase not
decrease. He can prove his income at any time so indemnity was
considered the cheaper option. / 5

5. What level of Business
Insurance do you
recommend, considering
both Capital and Revenue
purposes?
Key Person Cover of $ 500,000.00 would enable Bill’s partner to
pay out Mary in the event of Bill’s death or severe disablement or
critical illness. The clients currently do not have a Buy/Sell
Agreement so I strongly advise them to do so
Characteristics:
It is for the protection of owners or key persons in case of the death
or disablement of one or other of the partners of a business.
Advantages :
Provides the Funds for the purchase of the Key person’s ownership
in the business.
Allows for smooth transfer of ownership
(Decision is taken out of Mary’s hands as agreement is binding.)
Disadvantages:
Additional cost.
Alternatives: We considered whether the partners would be able to
finance the purchase of the others half interest in the business and
agreed that it would put them under considerable financial stress if
this were to happen.
/ 10
6. What level of General
Insurance do you
recommend?
I am not authorized to advise on General Insurance however I have
mentioned to Bill and Mary that although they already have General
Insurance in place for their house, cars etc. they might wish to add
the jewellery, Piano, and computer. / 5

Introduction

The objective was to provide you with insurance and assure your financial security and
give you peace of mind that you could provide for your children’s future education in
the event of that either one of you were unable to work in the event of accident,
sickness, total disablement, or Death.
Recommendations
I have looked to cover you both for Life, Total Permanent Disability and Trauma, plus
Loss of Income for Bill as only he qualifies. I also thought to cover your business by
including some Key Person Cover. After viewing all the insurance options available
through our company I have chosen the following advice which I believe will meet your
needs:
Bill:
Life Insurance of $1,000,000
Total Permanent Disability of $ 850,000

I am confident that if you choose to follow the recommendations I have made in this
Statement of Advice you will be adequately covered for personal risk to insure that your
income and future goals for both yourselves and your children will be meet. Your
assets will also be protected insuring you would be able to continue living in your home
