Planning

You probably don't sit around talking about policies and coverage terms in your spare time. That's why we've learned to ask the tough questions, when it comes to crystallizing your protection goals. After crystallizing your goals and assessing your current coverage we can deliver a gap analysis as part of your plan. This helps us determine if you have any disconnects between what you have and what you want. We manage risk by stress-testing your plan with a forward-looking cash flow analysis. This can model the effects of a premature death, disability and/or extended health care event on your portfolio assets. This way, you get an objective look at your insurance needs based on your goals.

We evaluate the six major areas of protection as they relate to your personalized financial plan.

• Life insurance

• Disability insurance

• Health insurance

• Long-term care insurance

• Property and casualty insurance

• Liability insurance

Having a trusted advisor that helps you navigate the protection component of your financial plan can provide you with tremendous peace of mind. Plus, you might even save some money and/ or get a better value for your insurance dollars. In the areas that we are not licensed, we will coordinate with you and your existing agent or recommend local insurance professionals. We find that some financial advisors focus solely on investments and expect you to go it alone when it comes to risk management and insurance planning. Planning for contingencies is a critical part of a sound financial plan. Financial advice that does not address protection planning is an incomplete plan and potentially leaves you and your family at risk. At Fimognari Financial, we have the skill to help you navigate this part of the planning process with ease.

Our years of experience, has highlighted the importance of the underwriting process when it comes to securing life, disability and long-term care insurance.

While this can be the most challenging aspect of implementing coverage, it can also be the most rewarding when we successfully guide you through this process.
