UK Protection Insurance 2018: Term and Whole of LifePosted by Genny kim on May 4th, 2018 UK Protection Insurance 2018: Term and Whole of Life The UK life protection insurance market for regular individual premiums grew in 2017, driven by growth of the term assurance market despite the whole-of-life market declining. Term market growth was primarily due to increased sales of non-mortgage term assurance policies by independent financial advisors, although sales in the direct channel are also increasing, reflecting demand to purchase life insurance online. Underwritten whole-of-life policies continue to be sold by independent advisors, while guaranteed acceptance over-50s products are sold direct without advice. Inheritance tax liability is seen as an opportunity to sell whole-of-life cover, with some insurers launching targeted advisor-sold policies to capitalize upon this.
