How Insurance Serves to Protect Your Valued Assets
Consumer protection is top of mind nowadays. With identity theft and other fraud schemes plaguing Canadians, governments are interested in helping consumers protect themselves against risk. Financial literacy helps educated, empowered consumers make smarter, more responsible decisions. By understanding how insurance works, and risk management best practices, you can use these important tools for financial planning.
With additional knowledge, people can often reduce their insurance costs and improve the protection for their most valuable possessions – their cars, homes and businesses.
