“The Generation Game” – Part 1 – The Pricing of Life Insurance Products – Commentary By Chris Morgan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been three generations of HIV Life Insurance and HIV Life Assurance products since 2009 when they were first introduced. Progressively they have been getting better in regards to lower premiums and the terms being offered to consumers today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original first generation policies were for just a 10 year term and the second generation, introduced in 2013, were for longer periods of 15, 20 and 25 years. These had complicated “Price Per Mill” ratings that are more expensive than those ratings available today. (These policies should now be reviewed). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Third Generation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest generation products, introduced before the interruption of COVID-19 and Coronavirus, have delivered the lowest premiums and best terms yet to the HIV Community. We have been working very hard to protect this progress in the last few months with our insurers and re-insurers during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent news that only 13% of High Street Life Insurers, Banks and Building Societies are currently offering Life Insurance or Life Assurance to People With HIV is not ideal for sure. But we are offering the very best possible response to less open minded Life Insurers, Banks and Building Societies and their reaction to the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Client<\/strong> Case Example, Panha, Aged 48, Restaurant Manager<\/strong> …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panha one of our existing clients has been with us since 2009 and has gradually been able to lower his premium and increase the size of his Life Insurance cover over the last decade. Recently were able to reduce his premium by 50% due to price improvements in the current products, which we are recommending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original cover that he took out was protection his mortgage, which his bank was unable to offer him. The eighteen high street banks and building societies in our latest research are still showing that Life Insurance for people living with HIV is unavailable through their advisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declined For Cover?<\/strong> … We Can Help ! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current situation with COVID 19 and Corona Virus means there is an “Unusually” high number of people living with HIV being declined by Life Insurance Companies for cover at this moment – be assured we have been working hard to protect the interests of the HIV Community throughout this difficult period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
