Protection

Ensuring that no matter what happens, your family’s immediate and future financial needs are secure.

The foundation for charting a sound financial course is to maintain insurance to protect your income and savings.The major threats to your financial security, that you face each day, include:

  • Premature death
  • Major property loss
  • Lawsuits
  • Serious illness or injury

Insurance can provide the funds you and your family will need should any of these catastrophic events occur.

Another element in a financial foundation is to create an Emergency and Cash Reserve Fund. An amount equal to three to six month’s income should be maintained in a highly liquid account to hold in anticipation of unplanned expenses and to be used to save for short-term financial goals. Being able to pay cash for unexpected, yet not catastrophic, expenses can avoid havoc being played on a family budget and piling up excessive credit card debt. This fund is also needed to cover insurance deductibles and elimination periods.

*An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment of $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

All investors are advised to carefully consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of an investment company before investing.
