Our sponsors … Unusual Risks, the medical financial advisers are today announcing further results from their latest HIV Life Assurance research. After conducting the most extensive survey into the financial needs of the HIV community, they can now confirm that 70% of HIV Life Assurance applications are being made in connection with a mortgage.
This figure is very encouraging for a community that for many years was unable to get Life Insurance and in turn was reluctant to take out Mortgage finance. The survey shows that HIV positive people are starting to look after their financial future and protect their homes. The survey also established that 30% of Life Insurance applications are taken out as family protection for partners and children.
Speaking about their survey, Chris Morgan, Marketing Manager of Unusual Risks said;
‘We’re delighted to see that the HIV community are now protecting their homes and their families with Life Insurance and Life Assurance. The introduction of HIV Life Assurance products has been hugely successful because it has encouraged people to plan for the financial future and purchase a home for their family’.
‘Every week I’m contacted by HIV Positive people who are still unaware that they could apply for Life Insurance and Mortgage products without fear of discrimination. Unusual Risks are committed to helping the HIV Community find the best financial products from the wide range of those now available in the market place ’.
In their latest survey Unusual Risks have looked into the financial needs of the HIV community in greater detail, with the percentage of HIV Positive people that now have insurance running at 23%. They also established that 58% of those now holding life insurance had taken their policy after the introduction of HIV Life Assurance in May 2009.
Chris Morgan and Unusual Risks have been helping people living with HIV to find the best Mortgage and Life Assurance for their needs for the last fifteen years. Unusual Risks in the next few months are set to release more research into the other types of insurance that HIV+ people are likely to be interested in were they to become available in the market place.
