Suicide exclusion period

Asteron Life

Chubb Life NZ

If the life insured's death or terminal illness is caused or contributed to, directly or indirectly, by suicide, attempted suicide or intentional self-injury within 13 months of the cover start date or from the date the policy was reinstated after being cancelled. This applies whether the life insured is sane or insane. If the Life Cover Amount is increased within 13 months before the life insured's death by suicide, attempted suicide or intentional self-injury, we'll only pay the Life Cover Amount that applied immediately before the increase.

We don't publish a hardcoded premium comparison table. Real premiums depend on individual underwriting at quote time (age, sex, smoker, occupation, health history, sum-insured + term). Quote with each insurer directly via their provider page.
