Insurance is more than just a safety net — it’s a core part of a strong financial plan. The right coverage helps protect your income, your loved ones, and your long-term goals. At Gamble Risk Management, we focus on helping you understand each type of insurance, how it works, and where it may fit into your broader financial strategy.
Life insurance provides a tax-free death benefit to your beneficiaries, offering financial security in the event of your passing. Beyond this protection, certain types of life insurance — such as whole life or indexed universal life — can build cash value over time.
Common Riders (Living Benefits):
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider – Access a portion of your death benefit if diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Chronic Illness Rider – Access funds if you cannot perform certain daily living activities.
Critical Illness Rider – Lump-sum payment upon diagnosis of qualifying conditions like heart attack or cancer.
Strategic Placement:
Wealth transfer to heirs
Income replacement for dependents
Cash value growth for strategies like Infinite Bankin
Collateral for loans in certain planning strategies
Recommended Uses:
Family protection, estate planning, supplemental retirement income
Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. Short-term coverage may last a few months, while long-term coverage can extend to retirement age.
