maltatoday, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 17 Events GlobalCapital initiative promotes insurance cover for families The importance of having insur- ance cover in case of death or ill- ness is often underestimated. Life insurance is mistakenly perceived as an unnecessary burden to sat- isfy a bank's approval for financ- ing. But there's more to it and it's worth considering the other side of the coin. having a life insurance policy in place is a good start to life. It pro- vides a safety net and the neces- sary peace of mind that your loved ones are provided for in case you are unable to. Looking after your loved ones starts by looking after yourself first. GlobalCapital understands the importance of placing family and health as the top most priority and is offering a €100 voucher on Bupa subscriptions to the first 200 people who purchase a life in- surance policy by the 30th March 2016. Vouchers can be redeemed on new or existing Bupa health insurance policies. A life insurance policy should be considered as the underlying plat- form of every person's personal fi- nancial planning. It is a tool that provides the necessary protec- tion at any stage in life. Likewise, health insurance cover provides the necessary assurances that ill- ness will not necessarily cripple a person's financial stability.
