First, would liek to thank you for your feedback.

You are right in saying the premium raises with age, and you are also right that allianz does have some investment linked crap which I dont want. But at the end of the day, I'm looking at a 25 yrs coverage (enuf for the little ones to graduate and kick them out of the house) and around 500~750k assured sum (yes this is not nearly enuf but its incase I croak, i have other plans in place for their education blah blah).

So for a comparison of 25 yrs term coverage @ 500k, I'm getting a monthly of 250/350 from Allianz and 420+ from Uforlife, hence at the end of the day for me as a buyer I'm only concern with the NETT premium I pay.

However, if you look at it from another angle... all things being equal, I do prefer to pay less NOW and pay MORE later as the cost will be more manageable taking into consideration my increase earning potential and inflation.

Don't think this is an apple-to-apple comparison as they are ILP and term plan, both targeting at different
customer segment.
When you compare with Allianz ILP, of coz the premium you need to pay is cheaper compare
to that of Uforlife. But you need to realize that ILP is Not Guaranteed though you pay the premium
on time (the policy fund value might not be able to sustain as you grow older and you need to top up the
premium amount). Do bear in mind that the fund value amount illustrated is not guaranteed too and highly depending on the actual fund performance in the market.

For term plan offered by UforLife, it is Guaranteed Renewable until the coverage ends.

Hmm... I thought I outlined my requirement... I dont want a policy that goes on perpetually for the next 100 yrs. I buy this JUST incase I croak while I still havent dependent. Byt the time I'm 65 my kids would have graduated, I will nto have any dependent, my wife can keep the houses etc whcih will easily feed her for the next 20 yrs.

Since it is yearly renewable, you can cancel it at any time.

In fact, ILP is perpetual. Though the ILP premium you have to pay now looks flat, it will definitely increase in the future as the insurance charges for basic/rider(s) (this actually reflects the actual insurance cost not the premium for ILP) are increasing as you grow older and you will need to increase your premium (it could be even more if the performance of the funds selected is not up to expectation).

alrdy clarified a few post back, Uforlife actually turns out to be more expensive the longer u have it for. For my 25 year case... Uforlife nearly 25% more exp on average

This could be the possible outcome due to the guaranteed renewable features of term plan offered by Uforlife.
