    Does he need life assurance?

    Personally, i dislike MPPI or PPI. I would prefer permanent health insurance as it has far better claims stats and is more useful for the long term. Plus, it can be tailored to fit employer benefits. It doesnt cover redundancy but then a standalone unemployment plan can do that if he wants to cover for unemployment.
