S$355 billion - this is the total mortality protection gap that Singaporeans have with many remaining underinsured despite the increased awareness of the need for insurance.1 This is because while many may recognise the need for coverage, they may be put off by the tedious process of obtaining insurance. Some may also be worried about being upsold and are therefore hesitant to approach an advisor. However, such concerns are eliminated with FSMOne's newly launched Insurance Discovery and Review Tool. Fuss-free and simple to use, this tool is the answer to all your worries. In this article, we explain how FSMOne's Insurance Discovery and Review Tool can eliminate the concerns that many have when engaging advisors.

#1 Best interest

How do you really know if what your advisor recommends is to your best interest? While you trust that your advisor is here to help address your concerns regarding your protection gap, you may find yourself feeling sceptical due to the negative stigma of the industry. Is he/she really recommending the most suitable product or is there an underlying personal motive?

Simply key in a few details regarding your existing protection levels and/or future goals and determine your protection gap in just seconds.
