127. Insurance Inside vs. Outside Super

Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast! 

In this episode, we discuss personal insurance and the benefits of holding it inside or outside of superannuation. We explore different types of insurance covers, such as life insurance, permanent disability, income protection, and trauma insurance. We also discuss the increasing responsibilities that make having the right insurance cover important. Funding options for premiums are discussed, including using cash flow or faying for this through superannuation.

Furthermore, we also touch on tax efficiency and how this will change depending on the structure of how this insurance cover is held. Benefits and product benefits may also differ depending on how this is held.
