Lump Sum Disability vs. Disability Income
THE QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED
There are probably arguments for and
against each of these benefits
Many factors to consider when getting
involved in this debate e.g.
- occupation
- self-employed or not
- affordability
- financial status
- age
WHICH OF THESE
BENEFITS WILL BEST
PROTECT ONE
AGAINST THE
FINANCIAL LOSS
WHEN FUNCTIONALLY
INCAPACITATED DUE
TO ILLNESS OR
INJURY?

Depending on the medical condition, the “permanence” aspect of the Lump sum disability benefit, could leave a person financially uncovered for a substantial period of time.
As long as the impairment shows signs of adequate improvement with medical treatment, a decision on permanency cannot be made under reasonable circumstances.
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT FROM THE CASE
STUDIES
![Page 77: AGENDA - sanlam.co.za · AGENDA “Mind the gap” How adequate is insurance cover in SA? Premium patterns Have we considered the consumer implications? Disability sales trends](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d47caa688c993da7b8b7b93/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Depending on the medical condition there is a high probability that a person will not be totally disabled after treatment.
It would seem the chance of becoming temporarily disabled is greater than the chance of becoming permanently disabled.
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT FROM THE CASE
STUDIES
![Page 78: AGENDA - sanlam.co.za · AGENDA “Mind the gap” How adequate is insurance cover in SA? Premium patterns Have we considered the consumer implications? Disability sales trends](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d47caa688c993da7b8b7b93/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
The time has come for a mind shift in the way we think about protecting one’s income.
Temporary disability is a reality and are our client’s properly protected against this?
There are currently good products available to properly address the needs of our clients.
If there is a need for a lump sum disability benefit, then one must consider including a temporary income benefit as well.

KEY PERSON POLICY
The replacement cost of the keyperson must be
calculated with reference to the revenue losses as
opposed to capital losses.
Example: Husband insures the life of his spouse who
earns no income.
In business context the same principles must apply
and be recorded.

“S IR YOU REQUESTED A CONTINGENT LIABIL ITY POLICY”
For the exclusion in terms of section 3(3)(a)(ii) of
the Act to be applicable the following
circumstances must be considered:
The Commissioner must be ‘satisfied’ that all the
requirements of the section are met before the
exclusion will be allowed. To enable SARS (on
behalf of the Commissioner) to consider whether
the proceeds of a policy fall within the ambit of the
exclusion, all the relevant documentation
pertaining to the case:
-copies of the resolution taken by company to
take out such policy, - application made for the
policy and any other documentation to prove that
the proceeds of the policy were not applied to
benefit either the estate, any relative of the
deceased or any person who was dependent
upon the deceased for his/her maintenance or a
family company of the deceased as envisaged in
the relevant section of the Act.
These must be submitted together with the
Liquidation and Distribution Account to the
Master’s Office where the SARS estate auditor
will verify the documentation.
The policy will have been ‘effected by the
deceased’ if he was the person who contracted
with the insurer for the issue of the policy,
whether or not he was the beneficiary under the
policy.

SARS REFERENCE GUIDE 2008
SCENARIO 2: A is the
Managing Director of a private
company. The company
borrows R1million from a
financial institution. A, as MD
of the company, stands surety
for the company’s debt. The
company takes out a policy on
the life of A, to meet their
obligations to the financial
institution at A’s death.
In cases where the company took out
insurance cover on the life of A to
enable them to pay the debt as set out
in (1) above to his estate, the argument
that the policy was not effected by or at
the instance of A would be very difficult
to prove as the deceased (my
underlining) was directly involved in
the negotiations regarding the whole
transaction.
![Page 99: AGENDA - sanlam.co.za · AGENDA “Mind the gap” How adequate is insurance cover in SA? Premium patterns Have we considered the consumer implications? Disability sales trends](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d47caa688c993da7b8b7b93/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
“SURPLUS FUNDS SHALL BE USED TO
REPAY THE LOAN ACCOUNT”
The words ‘no amount has been’ or
‘will be paid to the estate,’ are
capable of meaning that the
condition is not fulfilled if there is an
actual or future payment of any
portion of the proceeds into the
estate. The absence of some
obligation linking the proceeds with
the payment to the estate largely
removes the basis for connecting any
payment to the estate with the
proceeds of the policy, a connection
which must be present before it can
be said that the condition has not
been fulfilled.

SHARE BUY BACKS?
What about a share buy back?
Compare a share buy back vs traditional buy and sell.
The answer is simple. Additional estate duty, CGT and the
forced distribution of dividends are increased and forced
where the main intention is to preserve and transfer wealth.
The real question is the whether the correct risk profile is
addressed?

They are a dead investment from a Business Succession and Financial Planning
Perspective.
Policies effected to repay loan accounts increase the value of the company and
has relevance with share buy backs as well, but no negative dividend tax
implications.

DIRECT, DIGITAL, DATA & ‘THE NOISE’
Direct distribution of life insurance is non-intermediated selling with
paperless/electronic application and underwriting done on a pre-approved basis
using personal data or automated at point-of-sale.
“Cut-out the middleman!”
“Get 20% cash back”
“No medical exam”

MYTH-BUSTING ADDS COLOUR TO THE
DEBATE
Source: Discovery Life. “The value of the financial adviser in life insurance. 2013
Myths dispelled by Discovery Life:
Myth 1: Direct insurance is cheaper than buying life insurance through a financial adviser
Myth 2: Financial adviser commissions inflates premiums compared to direct insurers who do
not pay commission
Myth 3: Consumers will be able to maintain direct insurance premiums over the long-term
Myth 4: Direct insurance products offer comprehensive cover
Myth 5: Consumers do not need financial advice as information is readily available
Myth 6: Financial advice is the same whether a call centre agent or qualified financial planner
provides it
Myth 7: Claim pay-outs from direct insurers are transparent and certain
Myth 8: Intermediaries do not add real value to consumers

MYTH-BUSTING ADDS COLOUR TO THE
DEBATE
KEY FINDINGS:
1. Initial premiums of direct life insurance
companies are 9% more expensive.
2. Limited premium guarantees create
uncertainty for consumers and increased
unsustainability.
3. Benefits are not comprehensive and do not
address consumers’ needs at every life
stage.
4. Restricted maximum cover amounts render
them unsuitable for high income earners.
5. Poor claims payment record.

Telemarketing in 1970’s

CLIENT BEHAVIOUR IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT FORCE TO UNDERSTAND
Why are clients attracted to direct and digital
ways of doing business?
Information (24/7 any time)
Functionality (quotations)
Convenience (at home)
Personalisation (tailored for me)
Comparisons (window shopping)
Lowest price (client can decide)
Brand trust (they will pay me)
No obligation (its just a website)
Immediate/ quick (on my terms)
Event-triggered (as it occurs to me)
Drivers of behaviour will vary depending on
what the client wants to do:
Research for information?
Make buying decisions?
View their portfolio?

REGULATION IS ( INADVERTENTLY) MAKING
DIRECT MORE APPEALING
RDR ushers in ‘pay for advice’ which
seems likely to drive more people online
POPI requires client opt-in which seems
likely to stem the growth of direct marketing
Ideology plays a major role too … will we
always follow the UK? Post-2008 will an
increasingly ‘heavy hand’ continue to be
seen as a necessary counter-balance?
Compliance remains a disproportionate
burden for all players, especially IFA’s?

for our business” (large direct insurer)

PRODUCTS ARE BECOMING SIMPLER AND
MORE COMMODITISED
PWC noted in their 2014 Insurance Report that
products sold through direct and digital channels
have achieved relevance through standardised,
simpler product design
“The first generation of products sold over digital
channels have tended to be relatively simple, off-
the-shelf options.”
Implication: these products are less complex, less
advice-intensive, easier for the client to make his
own decision…

STILL EARLY DAYS FOR DIGITAL INSURANCE
“Insurance in a Digital World” survey by EY 2013:
Insurers acknowledge their digital immaturity
Ambitions are high, but not yet in line with digital capabilities
Insurers are constrained by culture
Insurers want more direct control and better customer experience
Channel conflict can be reduced by treating distributors as digital customers
Data analytics is critical to future digital success
Insurers should commit to the mobile and social future
And some Recommendations …
Frame the case for investment … and plan a strategy
Build the analytics infrastructure … and the implementation capabilities
Embed a culture of innovation … so that everybody sees the opportunities

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIES ARE EMERGING
Friendsurance.de founded in Berlin in 2010 (Australia in 2014)
An online “peer-to-peer” insurance broker to reduce
marketing, admin, claims costs & risk
People invited to use social media to invite friends into self-
selecting groups
Two people connect & agree to support each other with an
amount in case of claim (max €30 but grows as network grows)
Insurers are there to cover the claim amount that exceeds the
network support (or provide payback)
Payback of 50% of insurance fees is possible with 10 or more
connections in the network
People who invite low-risk friends enjoy lower cost of insurance
Benefits = less fraud, better risk selection, lower sales costs,
lower admin cost, risks self-managed
“Probably the most
disruptive and
innovative thing you
can do in the
insurance world” Tim
Kunde, co-founder of
Friendsurance
“Don't
underestimate
what people are
willing to do to
save money”

Case Study: Aviva life insurance
• US operations of Aviva traditionally used
medical tests to ascertain customers’
lifestyle patterns, which determined
insurance coverage, but pathological tests
are costly, manipulated, not user-friendly
• Aviva analysed the online behaviour of
60,000 insurance applicants from their
online shopping, social media activities
• Categorised as runners/hikers; dieters or
couch potatoes.
• Predictive modelling to estimate longevity
• Coverage decided on the basis of lifestyle
pattern life expectancy
ONLINE PROFILES & SOCIAL MEDIA CAN
DETERMINE COVER LEVELS
Benefits achieved:
Social media analytics are considered
more efficient and customer-friendly
Insurers expected to save approximately
$125 per applicant by eliminating
conventional medical tests
Facebook page 'likes' and Tweets are
better indicators of lifestyle risks such
as high blood pressure

Data strategies can help us know:
- Who our existing customers are
- Who our future customers should be
- What insurance they will need
- When they will need it
- How to reach them
- How much they can afford
- If they are a high or low risk
Every insurance study identifies data and
analytics as an imperative strategy to adopt
If every distribution channel uses data
properly it would level the playing field

CONSUMERS MAY HAVE INFORMATION BUT
NOT KNOWLEDGE
Source: EY – Key findings from the Global Insurance Survey, S. Hanlon.
Ernst & Young - “In an era when many consumers
feel bombarded by push communications and
suffer from a general sense of information
overload, it is particularly interesting for
customers to express a desire for more
communication from a company”
57% of global insurance consumers
surveyed say they want more frequent,
personalised and meaningful
communications from their insurer, agent
or broker
JP Morgan - “Our research indicates that the most
powerful trigger for paying for advice is a
recognition by an individual of the limits of their
own knowledge on a particular finance issue”
Advisers must show a deep understanding
of a clients needs, and pro-actively identify
opportunities to alert clients to events that
may affect their cover.
