Last Thursday the Reserve Bank Governor, Alan Bollard, kept the official cash rate (OCR) at 2.5%, and around this annoucement we have seen further rises in longterm interst rates by some of the lenders. Due to the historically low level of the floating rate, we are now seeing more and more clients choosing to stay on the floating rate or selecting a short term fixed option.
This is having a desired outcome for the Reserve Bank as it enables them to implement the Reserve Bank monetary policy into effect faster than has previously been experienced in prior years.

Trauma Insurance pays you a lump sum payment in the event that you are diagnosed with a specified illness. Most insurance companies will cover you for up to 45 illnesses including conditions like Cancer, Heart Attack, Stroke etc.
Trauma insurance is designed to pay you a lump sum when you need it most, for example, if you were to suffer from cancer and you were off work for a long period while you receive chemotherapy, your life insurance would not pay out but your trauma insurance would give you that lump sum payment to ease the financial pressure of not being able to work.
How many people do you know who they, or a member of their family, has suffered a serious heart attack or cancer? If this was to happen to you, of course it would be devastating for the whole family but having Trauma Insurance in place would lessen the financial impact.
Please give the team at Manawatu Home Loans a call and they will get one of our advisors to talk to you about this important benefit or you can call HLG Insurances on freephone 0800 800 306 and we will organise for one of our advisors to meet with you.
