The Exeter has launched an online Forecast Calculator to help advisers engage their customers in income protection.
The Forecast Calculator captures information on income, expenditure and sick pay to provide a visual summary of a client’s financial situation if they couldn’t work due to illness or injury.
Simon Philp, the Exeter‘s director of distribution and marketing, said: “We’re passionate about giving advisers the tools they need to educate their clients about the importance of income protection.
“It’s a worrying statistic that only one in 10 employees’ incomes are protected from illness or injury, and many are unaware of the problems they would face if they had to rely solely on sick pay from the government.
“The Forecast Calculator presents the problem and our range of quality income protection products provide the solution.”
