Looking back and moving forward
A new year brings the chance to make a fresh start, a few resolutions, and maybe even
some life-changing decisions.
Credit crunch, market crises, closures and cutbacks dominated the headlines in 2008.
This wasn't just news, but reality: we were all affected by the turbulent events of last year.
Things will get worse before they get better: the good news is that, after a slow start,
growth prospects will improve towards the end of 2009. Lower interest rates will bring
some relief to consumers who have been battling to repay debt. Read more in the attached
local economic review.
A good time to review your personal finances
You may feel anxious about reviewing your finances in this economic climate. Now, more than
ever, you should make sure that you have the cover you need.
We've attached a short financial checklist to get you started.
There's also a financial products overview to help you
understand what these products can offer you.
Worried about keeping up payments or losing valuable cover?
Speak to your financial adviser about your current situation and future plans. Your financial
adviser will help determine your financial needs and risk profile so that you have a financial
solution which suits you.
If you are advised to replace an existing policy, make sure you know how this will affect you.
Your financial adviser must tell about any charges, tax implications, penalties and differences
in benefits.
If you don't have a financial adviser or if you have any questions about your policy, please call
us on 0860 456 789 or email [email protected].
