QUOTE(roystevenung @ Jun 7 2012, 08:51 AM) As Colaboy mentioned its the client obligation to declare any changes to his lifestyle. so in cases of claim, the co will adjust the payout, or totally refuse to pay? Smoking status will affect his premium (non-smoker pays lesser premium) as its higher risk of getting smoking related illnesses. Another thing that will affect the premium would be the occupation. For example if someone is doing office admin work (Class 1), suddenly have a part time job as a construction worker or lorry driver (Class 4) and met accident, the insurance company may dispute on the claims. Well if a person who is from Class 4 and now gets promoted to become office Manager (Class 1) you'd definitely want to go to declare because this will bring down your premium significantly. As for gender change, so far I've not have any experience in this |

QUOTE(Smurfs @ Jun 27 2012, 10:23 AM) think of applying Buy term and invest the difference. if that is what u intend to do, u can consider ILPs can get better result if i park the money in fd/bond fund/reits rather than paying high premiums since the payout for whole life n term is same,thus same protection Added on June 27, 2012, 11:08 am QUOTE(MaxWealth @ Jun 27 2012, 10:58 AM) Your whole life plan is participating or non participating plan? Agree If your terminate and get a new 1, most of your premium paid will be burned. Furthermore, the waiting period will start over. Or else you can ask them to fully paid up plan and convert in to term. How long and how much they can cover is based on branch/HQ calculation. Btw, term only covers up to age 70. Unless you are very confidence in accumulating few hundred thousand just for "insurance" purpose after age 70. This post has been edited by Pink Spider: Jun 27 2012, 11:08 AM |

Well said by Roy Steven,
Which makes me think, (touch wood) if anything happens to me, my only dependent is my dad, and my EPF and investments would be more than enough to last him til he (touch wood) masuk container. Currently my ILP only cover Life/TPD RM150K Income on TPD RM12K p.a. i.e. RM1K a month Premium waiver on TPD/CI, premium RM220/mth I have a separate life/endowment which covers CI for RM60K, similar to GE's Living Assured (I forgot the name exactly) which the SA increases every year Do you think I should reduce life cover, and ride on a medicard? Pls advise P.S. my plan is GE Addvantage Plus This post has been edited by Pink Spider: Mar 9 2013, 08:47 PM |

QUOTE(roystevenung @ Mar 10 2013, 12:33 PM) Touch wood, if anything happens to you, I'm sure you do not want to have to use the Life/CI/TPD money to pay for the hospital bill, no? If there was a severe accident that needs to be hospitalized, surely you'll need the money and of course the first thing is to save life. Ooh I just remember the name, Great Living Care. GE no longer offer this plan, right? Back then it's one of GE's bestsellers. My plan is quite similar to GLC, only difference being pay-til-55, cover-til-85. That's the reason why I bought it. I wouldn't want to be still paying insurance premiums after I retire from active working. If I don't remember wrongly, based on the "conservative" cash value projection, IRR for this endowment is only around 2%.Secondly, what was your purpose of getting an endowment plan of CI for RM 60K? I hope that the endowment plan is not for savings as having a RM 60K CI cover eats up on the cash value as most of it would be used to pay the insurance charges. Do yourself a favor, calculate the endowment returns yourself. I'm sure you'd agree that it is more for protection. Definitely a medical plan is needed. Your car is compulsory to have a 'medical card' as it is protected againsts financial losses should we are involved in accidents. Get my drift? Last time I contacted my agent to include medicard into my ILP, but he was adamant that I topup my premium (currently RM220/mth) to at least RM300. Perhaps I should reduce my life cover to RM100K from RM150K, keep the premium at RM220? Do u think my cash value would be sufficient to pay for the insurance charges? FYI, I plan to terminate my ILP around age 45-50 when the charges should shoot up dramatically. Current: Life/TPD RM150K Great Income Rider RM120K Premium Waiver on TPD/CI Thanks This post has been edited by Pink Spider: Mar 10 2013, 02:17 PM |

QUOTE(roystevenung @ Mar 10 2013, 03:05 PM) Whether the cash values will be able to cover for the insurance charges, no one can tell as there are simply too many uncertainties. Who knows what will happen to Malaysian economy 20 years down the road. For example Lahat Datu case. Maybe reduce Life/TPD to a nominal amount (well, insurance is to cover, right? Upon retirement, what is there to cover? But one thing is for certain, irrespective of whether the insurance charges goes up or not, you buy insurance for its coverage/protection, never to expect to get back anything. For medical if you were to cancel your plan at age 50, just promise that you wont get sick till 80. Otherwise, the investments that had been generated over the years may have to be liquidated. |

QUOTE(roystevenung @ Mar 10 2013, 04:08 PM) Yup, which is why I advise earlier against buying Life/CI/TPD for people age 60. Thats where you need to focus the medical so that you do not need to liquidate whatever that had been saved/invested for your retirement. Yes. Makes sense? Now, last questions... 1. For a 30 yr old, reducing Life/TPD from RM150K to RM100K, is the reduction in insurance charges significant? 2. My agent kept pushing me to take SmartMedic 200 with SmartMedic Enhancer, but after looking thru the brochure, I felt than SM Enhancer is a bit "lebih", it's looks more like a "luxury" than a "need" to me. |

QUOTE(joseph8 @ Mar 10 2013, 10:46 PM) yes, it will be affected because the cost of getting a medical card is higher than the insurance charges saved from reducing sum assured. (output more than input) AddVantage PlusFor example lets look at the insurance charge at 60 years old (30 years later) , At the age of 60, the insurance charge for death n TPD = RM1707 for 150k coverage. the insurance charge for death n TPD = RM1138 for 100k coverage. You saved RM600 at that age for cutting RM50k death n TPD coverage. The cost of getting SM150 at 60 years old is RM1100. Hence cash value estimated to drop RM500 at that age in this example. Is your plan Smart Protect Essential Insurance 2? My numbers are based on this plan. |
