It's frightening that there are some who wants returns even before they protect themselves. If disaster strikes, all their returns will then be used to pay for that, maybe plus more.<br /><br />I will still not park money into whole life policies just because of the cash values. There's a real worry that I might not keep up the payments when my expenses increases or my salary drops, and when the policy is terminated as such, the returns will be 0. As with all financial planning, proper asset allocation is very impt.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-17727701486037949002009-08-21T13:31:17.097+08:002009-08-21T13:31:17.097+08:00Hi LP,
I bought lots of whole life policies. zero...Hi LP,<br /><br />I bought lots of whole life policies. zero endownment policy. when I was an agent 20 yrs ago. <br /><br />Critical illnesses was added unto whole life by signing a form & (making paying extra premium) when it was introduced around 15 yrs ago.<br /><br />Only when critical illness is riden unto whole life that it covers that long. Others, cover only up to 60-65. I do advise all clients then that we need the coverage as long as we live. Its either u die or claim CL.<br /><br />Insurance projected returns were honoured up to many years (prior to 89) until 97. <br /><br />I have a friend who pay almost 20K premium yearly. Has a huge portfolio of dividends stocks. The returns till 2009, once declared, is guaranteeed. Overall, the return is still not bad; as u can see from your latest post compared to return of "cash".<br /><br />With his strategy, He may/maynot take out the money in his life policies. Life insurance policy taken up under section 73, (for wife and children) protect against creditors. (don't know its still valid now as I saw debate regarding section 73). He also may leave some for clearance of estate duties when he dies. Endowment policy do not have this added advantage. <br /><br />Some of my life policies reach 20 yr this year. I am curious to see the overall return but I won't take them since it is part of the designated % in my portfolio. Overall its still better than cash return now.. with protection! <br /><br />I also have friends who took up Life policy to cover child's education. Yes, indeed, 20 yrs later, they may realised they do not need to cash out because they have other means of financing the education.. and they can continue with the life plan.<br /><br />Before we talk about returns, its utmost important to protect the capital. As someone says, first rule of investment is "don't lose money" second rule is "follow rule number one". I do know of many who prefer to use Life insurance as a way of saving, including the guy who is has a huge stock portfolio.<br /><br />*My conclusion: Insurance companies are in my core portfolio now. I put my money into insurance policies last 20 yrs. I put money into insurance companies now in the next lap. <br /><br />HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-38454528298436771402009-08-15T07:57:53.519+08:002009-08-15T07:57:53.519+08:00if you start worrying about your investment, then ...if you start worrying about your investment, then it is time to sell or else don't worry and be happy as you can earn back your losses by other means.Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-34957443601260266702009-08-14T22:12:07.186+08:002009-08-14T22:12:07.186+08:00Hi mw,

But I see what your pt is - you're afraid that buying a whole life and paying so much for the premium, and in the end can't claim. Valid pt.<br /><br />This post is talking about pple who buy whole life insurance as an investment, looking for a return by cashing it out. I don't think it's wise to do that.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-83901224320806317952009-08-14T11:40:11.989+08:002009-08-14T11:40:11.989+08:00I believe those Whole Life and Endowment policies ...I believe those Whole Life and Endowment policies purchased some 15 years or more are those without Critical Illnesses. <br /><br />For critical illnesses, if the assured sum is very big, don't think your claim is going to be easy.CreateWealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04870750974362417154noreply@blogger.com
