 | The only thing you can say will definitely happen in your life is that you will die. But life assurance is not about death; it is about other people living after a death, providing security throughout life. Terry O'Halloran's You Sign (a title which comes from the industry expression "you sign the little cheque and we sign the big one") sticks to basic principles, and puts across detailed information in simple terms using both costings and examples. He actually explains Unit Linking in words of one syllable and in graphic detail too! You do not have to be a Chartered Insurance practitioner to understand the basics of life assurance, nor do you have to be an accountant, a solicitor or an actuary. The fundamentals are quite straightforward and from there you can go on to the grasp the more difficult concepts. This book is an invaluable source of information, explanation and advice to all financial services providers, teachers and practitioners, it is packed full with tips and advice, for example, 'always take out insurance that you need and stick to it. Changing policies costs money.' or 'always ask "Do I need it?"' Clearly explaining the language and products of life assurance with the use of diagrams such as snakes and ladders, and piggy banks Terry O'Halloran's obvious passion for the whole subject of life assurance soon becomes not only instructive but strangely infectious! Essentially a starter manual on life assurance for individuals who are interested in looking after their affairs and wondering about getting their own life assurance. An ideal book for those studying for their FPC. |
