Guys Guys Guys!! I need your help.

I'm currently service two insurance under Investment link type.

I noticed that the investment fund which is high risk doesn't seems to be earning well. Averagely it's getting only nearly 4% annually for 5years.

Now my question is, Is it possible for me to take out this investment so that I can have my own decision to invest in which fund or for any other usage?

what is the down side? Anyone did that before?

It is possible to withdraw a portion of the cash value, please consult your servicing agent for further info.

Best,

4% for an insurance product is considered above average considering it's only been 5 years for a high risk profile.

If you decide to take this money out, then might as well opt for a term insurance and invest the rest of the money. But you have to bear in mind that any difference that you earn from your own investment needs to be kept for your insurance in the future as your premium increases.

If you don't have the discipline to do the above then you will have problem in the future in managing your insurance policies.

Basically I buy this insurance for the purpose of insured only. I get IL policy coz its cheaper. What I need is protection like DB, CI, and Medical card etc. Since It's that low, I thinking if can I'm pulling it out to invest other things. Even put in Unit Trust also better as I got more freedom on my investment.

If not mistaken, lets say my IL premium is RM400, even the insurance increase every year, I will still pay RM400. Just my investment portion is reduce. Correct right?
