QUOTE(skyblack4492 @ Nov 20 2013, 03:30 PM) None. Do the savings in pure savings like bank FD or ASNB, never in insurance.When you look at insurance, you are buying the coverage associated to it. The cover is NOT FREE and RM 100 that you put in perhaps RM60 will be used to buy you the cover. This is why if you choose to surrender the plan in one year, if you put in RM1200 per year, you will only get back RM 400 maybe lesser. Do not get brain washed by insurance agents selling and promising you high returns. At least for bank, you can withdraw it after one year.

Savings plan, to actually benefit from it you need to be young wheb you buy . Old people buying can't break even lol.. Savings plan is for people who do not save at all so having something is better than 0

Insure against risks you cannot afford to happen, such as the loss of your ability to earn an income.
For investment, do it yourself. Never mix with insurance because they do not mix. Nothing is free in this world and everything must have a price. Not wanting to brag, but I just spend less than 30 mins a week reading up on finance and economics, and my investments are performing way better than any managed funds or savings plans in the market. There are many advantages to doing your own research. At the end of the day, you are smarter and you learn through the mistakes. Think about it, is your 30 mins per week worth more than the fees you are paying to the agent, insurer and the fund manager? |

QUOTE(jay @ Nov 20 2013, 07:05 PM) y now most of the insurance in malaysia is term life insurance? dun hv whole life insurance one meh?? Whole life still got bro, it depends on clients needs and mostly age. For younger clients most agents prefer to give ILP because it has the flexibility to be upgraded (provided healthy).For example if a single person who just started work just need a basic insurance with medical, he surely cannot afford to pay much. Also a single person does not have responsibility likeus parents has to a newborn child. Giving a single person Rm1m cover is kind of ridiculous, unless he is rich and afford it. But if he is rich and can afford it, why does he need insurance, as he can afford to pay for whatever that comes to him? Fikir2kan For whole life, it is not that easy to be upgraded as there is a lot of restrictions. For example the cash calue allocation will need to be resetted etc |

insurance...
student: insurans tu apa cikgu? teacher: insurans tu bagus. kalau kamu mati, kamu dapat duit student: ???!!!??? simpan di bank, bila2 boleh keluar, cepat simpan di insurans, bila sakit perlu duit, mau claim pun susah, lambat, kadang2 langsung tak dapat. ada medical card pun tarak guna, normal uncomplicated delivery masuk hospital pun takbleh claim, jadi yg dah terpergi private hospital utk delivery mau claim pergi mampus la then ada agent yg gila prihatin, orang masuk hospital mau mati tengah cpr pun datang mau urus claim, tapi medical record by right cuma boleh keluar after 2 weeks, masa tu pun masih confidential, so datang pun tak guna, lepas 2 minggu baru boleh claim, lulus tak lulus belum cakap lagi. orang duit banyak tak kesah la bayar itu ini, bil itu bil ini, bayar insurans. sebijik macam bulan2 guna duit beli loteri. bila kena loteri (ada mati ka, sakit ka) kamu dapat duit |

QUOTE(PVCpipe @ Nov 20 2013, 02:58 PM) Start by reading books on Economics. Find easy reading materials which explains the concept of value. Learn the terms. Through economics, you'll learn how the world works. You'll learn the concept of money, trade, currency etc.Then start to pick up finance. Learn the concept of price and value. Understand the financial world of stocks, investments, derivatives, insurance, bonds etc. Meanwhile, look at every day businesses and brands. Think to yourself, can this world function without this business? What makes this business thrive? What are its competitors? How easy is it for a new player to come in and disrupt the current business? Is this a totally new field that will disrupt the way we live? After that, armed with the knowledge of pricing and value, you can then know how to value the business and get a price. If the price you have is higher than its current price to buy, then invest the shit out of it (I mean, taking into account your own risk appetite of course). You'll be amazed at how many overvalued companies there are in the world when markets are optimistic. On the contrary, in a downturn, there are so many bargains to be had. As an added bonus, you'll know how to value things and you'll soon realise that investment linked insurance plans have very low value. I'm not saying its useless or a scam, it's just that you'll get better value not buying them. I started relatively late in 2009, due to lack of capital. However, it was a good time as many were pessimistic. Now, I focus on growth companies and starting to dabble in derivatives. I made some bad decisions along the way like selling too soon or buying too high, but you live and learn. My portfolio since 2009 is now up 69%. I'm happy with it considering I did not pay anyone for advice and I'm not from a financial background. So to stick to the topic. Let insurance be just like what its name is, "insurance". Insure yourself against risks that may hamper your ability to continue to live your life, and your dependent's life due to your inability to provide for them. E.g. Health, life (if you have dependents) and disability (if the disability will cause you to lose your ability to earn). Insure against potential costs which may cause financial ruin, such as fire, 3rd party liability and to a certain extent legal insurance. Anything else, is useless to insure against, such as electronic gadget extended warranty. Also, don't mix the investment part into insurance. If you really need someone to manage your money for some reason, get a fee-only financial advisor and avoid compensation based ones like the plague.

Please do not simply discredit our work because of a few agents who is only out for the commission. This is why I am asking why you had problems with the claims and should you need help with the claims, do let me know and I will guide you. I will even help you do the claim if you are a Prudential client. Secondly the claims are paid from the insurance company to the hospital directly. |

QUOTE(darosha @ Nov 21 2013, 04:25 AM) Roy is right to ask you know... Medical insurance usually do not cover pregnancy and delivery. There is a different product for that. And your previous statements on insurance make it sound like people in developed countries are complete idiots for buying insurance. There is really no reason for your claims to be denied if you are claiming from the right policies. I hope this helps |
