Also, your other video on IFA and FA, you don't even know what you are talking about when it comes to comparisons. You hide and mislead others without saying the cons of distributors channels when products rights are revoked. What happens when it's sold and years later it requires services???
      You also mislead others by saying best. What is best is best in your current situation. U mean your life situation doesn't change at all?

    Hi Seth,
    Thank you for this video.
    It is very informative in my point of view which helped me to understand more about ILP, especially on the fees portion.
    What I did after viewing this video:
    1. Got a 3rd party insurance agent to review the plan during the 14 day cooling period.
    1. Terminated my newly bought ILP during the cooling off period sucessfully.
    2. Got back 100% of my initial costs upon sucessful termination of the policy.
    3. Switched to a term plan instead & kept most of the monies.

    hi, i am totally late to this video and i wish youtube algo helped me earlier. i just purchased an ilp that was marketed as a "critical illness plan" to me - dont get me wrong, there is the CI aspect of things but i wasn't aware of how shitting the ILP aspect is. also, as expected, coverage is shitty as well. i just paid my first yearly premium and freelook literally ends today, any exit strategy or next steps will you recommend?

    • @Sethisfy

    • @Vickie317
      @Vickie317 Год назад +1

      you can reverse the formula actually. assuming you only have supp charge 3.9% a year, compounded over 10 years for the first year premium, actual premium allocation is only (100-3.9%)^10= 67.17% in the first year, not counting the fund management fee yet (multiple layers of fund management fee because of sub fund - eg aia fund buy into aia fund which buy into another company fund) . so instead of saying 100% premium allocation, 32.83% of your first year premium is guaranteed in fee (supp charge). you can apply same formula for y2 to y10 premium. total fees add up to 2 years out of your 10 years worth of premium. Hope this helps :)

    I have a ilp. Monthly i am paying $300. Since 2012. Now is 10years i thought of surrender this policy but i realised the remaining amount that i will get back is only 3000 plus. Agent told me that this happen because i did a 14,000 plus withdrawal. So now if i terminate my policy i really lost quite alot. Agent advise to stay on another 5 years, i might break even. Whats your opinion on this?

    • @Sethisfy
      @Sethisfy  Год назад

      The loss is already incurred whether you terminate the policy or not.
      The question now is: to grow back your loss, will it be better to remain in the ILP, or is there a better instrument?

      Single-premium ILPs are usually better than regular premium ILPs, but that's about it. Underlying funds are often expensive high annual management funds.

      You have already incurred the worst parts of the ILP which is the upfront costs. It's a sunk cost that has been incurred whether you keep or maintain the policy.
      You should probably keep it since the coverage was underwritten 6 years ago where your health is likelier to be better, and you can take it as an increasing term + investment, although the investment funds can be quite pricey.
      I will make a video about this topic.

    is term/whole life policies considered as ilps?

    • @Sethisfy
      @Sethisfy  10 месяцев назад

      Term policies are without cash value.
      Whole life policies tend to refer to traditional policies with savings element. Insurance company will invest the premiums and declare bonuses each year. Policyholder don’t have a say in the investment direction.
      ILPs are investment-linked policies. Usually a term packaged with investments + loads of fees. These days the insurance component is reduced, but the fee structure is still costly. One can insure and/or invest without this kind of cost structure

  • @CHeeKMunK

      Even till today, he can't say what are the different types of ILP and their functions that can benefit which category group of people.

    Talking nonsense. There are 3 different type of ILP. Not all are insurance loaded.
    You are also inclined on high term plan without saying the cons when there is no cash value. On the flipside, you are neglecting the part where the terms comes to an end, and the insured faces uninsurability.
    Can see you are motivated to your agendas with all the cons without the pros.
