There are so many variations of life insurance that it can become extremely confusing, very quickly. To keep things simple, there are essentially two types of insurance: term insurance and permanent insurance. Personal Wealth PWL Capital Susan Daley Life Insurance for Millennials 2019-02-21T11:47:30 February 21, 2019 Life insurance protects your human capital. While human capital is not normally included in your net worth statement, it’s still a big asset. Protecting that asset is important. If you don’t have enough assets to cover those potential expenses, life insurance is a tool to protect your loved ones and ensure their standard of living doesn’t fall significantly if you passed away. Personal Wealth PWL Capital Susan Daley 4 Steps to Calculate Your Disability Coverage 2019-02-7T09:00:41 February 7, 2019 For millennials, long-term disability insurance might be the most important decision in their life. The average 25-year-old has $1.75 million in human capital to protect. Those that earn more than an average income of $43,700, have more human capital at risk. I outline the various sources of income you can receive if you become disabled and how to protect yourself by getting an appropriate amount of disability insurance coverage.

Over the 7 years we have worked together, he has taken much time to listen carefully to my need to have my retirement funds safe and to the myriad work/life changes that came along. We have been working with Graham from early 2009, and joined him at PWL Capital in May 2010 . During this time Graham has acted as our financial adviser in the early years of our retirement, and has provided us with help and advice, giving growth and security within our portfolio, in excess of our RRIF withdrawal requirements. Graham Westmacott and Susan Daley provide the best service one could ever expect. They are extremely realistic and I perceive them as being most concerned with what is best for us and our situation rather than just focused on sales. Graham, more recently joined by Susan, has been our financial advisor since 2006 and we moved to PWL with him in 2010. Graham’s ability to analyze each client’s situation, preferences and needs seems outstanding to us.
