This advice recommends that you replace existing insurances with new policies. There can be disadvantages to changing policies. These potential disadvantages are discussedhere. We have considered these potential disadvantages and, on balance, we believe that the new policies are more in your best interests.
The existing products were considered and their characteristics compared to other insurance products. This comparison is provided in the appendix. We concluded that the recommended products were more appropriate to you than the existing and the other products. The reason for this advice is that :
- the recommended product has a more cost effective premium based on the recommended level of cover. This makes the premium more affordable.
- we believe the recommended product is a superior policy. This is based on technical aspects of the policy, such as the definitions used for insured events, the range of events covered by the policy and the ease with which any eventual benefits can be accessed.
