INSURANCE & PROTECTION

Insurance should protect the life you are building —not complicate it.

Clear advice. Independent comparison. Protection that actually fits your life, your business, and the rest of your financial picture

The point
Protection should support stability, not create more confusion.
BEST FOR

Families, professionals, and business owners who want coverage that actually fits.

Approach

Independent comparison, plain-English advice, and one clear recommendation.

PROTECTION AS PART OF THE PLAN

Smart insurance is not only about worst-case scenarios.

Well-chosen insurance should reinforce the financial plan and not sit off to the side like a separate product decision.

Yes, insurance protects people and plans when life goes sideways. But it also supports stability, risk management, and the long-term integrity of your financial life.

Even when someone comes to us for insurance only, we still look through a planning lens. Coverage decisions make more sense when they fit the bigger picture.

The goal is not to sell fear. The goal is to make sure the foundation underneath your family, income, business, or estate plan is strong enough to carry what matters.

Independence matters

Lantern Wealth:
Fiercely independent

We are not owned by a bank. We are not tied to one insurance company. We never will be.

That matters because it means the advice starts with you, not with a product shelf.

We shop the market. We compare options. We explain trade-offs in plain English. We recommend what actually fits your situation.

Our Approach

We shop across the market.

We compare price, features, and trade-offs.

We explain the differences in plain English.

We recommend what actually fits.

NO QUOTAS. NO PRESSURE.

HOW WE CHOOSE A POLICY

01

Cost and claims experience

Price matters, but so does how clearly the policy works, how claims are handled, and whether the insurer is known for being fair when it counts.

02

Company strength

We look at reputation, financial stability, internal service, and whether the company is likely to remain solid for decades.

03

Policy design and flexibility

The right policy has to fit now and still make sense as your family, career, or business evolves.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Different life stages, One goal: make sure the right things stay protected

You are self-employed and do not have workplace disability or critical illness coverage.

We meet you where you are and go as deep as needed — not deeper.

PEOPLE BEFORE PRODUCTS

Most Asked Questions

“Do I need to be an investing client to work with you on insurance?”

No. We work with insurance-only clients all the time. It’s not the most exciting topic, but our goal is to make it simple, approachable, and a lot less painful to deal with.

Anyone worth talking to about insurance will do a full needs analysis; we are no different there. We will help you find the right amount, length of contract, and any add-ons that should be included.
 
Where we are different, we work with over 20 insurance companies in Canada and choose based on what’s best for you. That includes cost, ease of application, likelihood of approval, and what the claims experience will actually look like when it matters.
 
Insurance isn’t fun to talk about and is even less fun to apply for; we try and make the process from start to finish suck less.
Life, critical illness, and disability insurance; everything designed to protect against the big risks: passing away, getting sick, or not being able to work.
 
We can do simple term coverage to protect against the mortgage on your first house or design complex corporately owned whole life insurance contracts aimed at moving money from your business to personal pockets in a tax efficient manner. We love a good tax mitigation strategy!

There’s no perfect formula. It’s part art, part science, and we’ll walk through it together. We will do a full needs analysis to make sure you have enough coverage, can afford it, and leaves you with options down the road.

Yes, if you put a policy in place, we’re compensated by the insurance company. That said, our focus is building long-term relationships, not one-off sales, so the advice has to be right.

Our main business is financial planning. Life insurance is an important part of everyone’s financial plan and we know that we can make the process of buying it less awful than most.

Yes, and we always do. Before making any recommendations, we’ll review what you already have, how it works, and where there may be gaps or overlap. We will look at existing policies and work plans; explaining the benefits and downfalls of each.

We stay involved. You’ll get regular check-ins to make sure your coverage still fits as your life and financial situation evolve.
