Life disability and critical illness insurance are crucial financial tools that provide individuals and their families with much-needed security and peace of mind. These types of insurance policies act as a safety net, offering financial protection in the face of unexpected and often devastating events. Life insurance ensures that loved ones are financially supported in the event of the policyholder's death, helping cover expenses like funeral costs, debts, and ongoing living expenses.
Disability insurance steps in when an individual is unable to work due to injury or illness, offering income replacement to maintain their standard of living. Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum payout upon diagnosis of a severe medical condition, helping to cover medical expenses and other financial burdens during a challenging time. Together, these insurance types help safeguard individuals and their families against unforeseen hardships, ensuring that they can focus on recovery and well-being without worrying about financial strain.

Having disability insurance is a great choice for many reasons, including but not limited to:
Worker’s Compensation only covers work-related accidents. Conversely, your disability insurance covers a wider spectrum of circumstances
Unemployment insurance only covers 15 weeks. Your disability insurance spreads over much longer time
Medical costs can add up significantly
Government benefits are very limited. Your disability insurance bursts with benefits
Group coverage will only match a specific percentage of your income, so you might end up spending more on medication than you earn in a whole month.
For as little as $20/month you could receive your monthly income without tax deductions
Accidents and illnesses can happen virtually at any time, so having a comprehensive disability insurance policy is a must in order to counter the future’s uncertainties and ensure yourself and your family from a financial point of view.

Having to go through a critical illness (without insurance) is a very physically and mentally destructive experience. So much so that the afflicted person might not be able to necessarily cope with the inherent financial impact that comes out of the blue as a result.
Recent studies reveal a harsh reality. It is estimated that over a whopping 70,000 heart attacks happen in Canada on a yearly basis, along with a disheartening 3,075 new cases of cancer diagnoses each week. If you are caught unprepared, the consequences could be potentially dire. The aftermath is simply inconceivable. What can Goldkey offer:
You receive a tax-free, lump-sum benefit after satisfying the waiting period if you’re diagnosed with one of 24 critical illnesses
Receive partial benefit (25% payout up to $50,000) in the event of a non-life threatening illness, Receive a monthly Care Benefit if you need long term care
If you develop a critical illness, you may need to take time off work, arrange additional care for your children, travel to specialized treatment centres and more. Help give yourself financial flexibility to do whatever it takes to get better with critical illness insurance.
CRITICAL ILLNESS
RETIREMENT INCOME
Just because you’ve stopped working doesn’t mean your money has to. Find out how you can invest your savings to provide a steady stream of income so you can enjoy your retirement years to the fullest. Different retirement income options for different needs.
Your retirement income will typically come from a number of different sources. You may be eligible for CPP/QPP and OAS or other government benefits – and you may have a company pension. But, if you’re like most Canadians, you also need to turn your savings into a retirement income stream to help meet your financial needs throughout retirement. With a range of products and features to offer, an advisor can help you choose the product or products that best fit your needs.
Annuity
An annuity guarantees you will receive an income for life, or as long as the annuity contract specifies.
Your retirement income will be secure from both market and interest-rate risks.
Segregated funds
There are a number of different types of segregated fund contracts that combine capital protection with growth potential.
Your savings will be protected. When your contract matures or when you die, your savings will be guaranteed to return a minimum of 75% up to 100% of the money you put in (less withdrawals).
Mutual funds
A mutual fund is a large pool of money belonging to many people that is invested by experts in stocks, bonds or other securities with the goal of increasing the value of the overall pool.
Mutual funds are often held in tax-advantaged retirement income plans as a way of participating in markets.
Guaranteed interest products
There are a number of guaranteed interest products that all offer protection for your initial investment and the opportunity for predetermined growth.
The guaranteed return is based on interest rates, the deposit amount, the length of the contract and other factors, depending on the type of product you choose.
You’ll have peace of mind knowing your savings are protected from market fluctuations.
Tax-advantaged retirement income plans
A registered retirement income fund (RRIF) is a tax-deferred way for you to use your RRSP savings to generate retirement income.
A life income fund (LIF) or locked-in retirement income fund (LRIF) is like a RRIF for “locked-in” money that originally came from a pension plan.
Don't let the bank decide where your benefit is applied.
