Starting with simple factors, modern underwriting has the power to shape retirement plans in ways you can’t predict. Explore the importance of every client receiving a personalised underwritten quote in our latest THINK article.
Whether it be guaranteed income for life (GIfL), provided by an annuity, managing their drawdown portfolio or care planning, new thinking and new systems mean the criteria for modern underwriting are now much broader. And the idea of whether someone ‘qualifies’ for an enhancement is becoming outdated.
The reality is that every retiree will have an individual longevity curve.
A GIfL rate can be personalised with just two factors:
- height and weight
- postcode
Marital status, alcohol consumption and common conditions such as diabetes, asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) are further examples of a multitude of factors which can make a difference too.
Underwriting every client as part of retirement planning fact finds or drawdown reviews provides a benchmark secure income rate to help you advise appropriate product selection.
With PII costs and FCA regulatory directives in the background, a GIfL quote on file demonstrates treating customers fairly and protects both your firm and your client now and in future.
