The question is, how much % of your salary you used to purchase this policy?

P:S: Great Eastern also have this plan starting this Monday. 😜😜

She said her existing life cover is not much, therefore would like to top up a bit. She is around 45 yo, working in office environment and maybe a RM500 monthly premium top up for a start of the conversation be good.

thumbsup.gif will need to find out more about her existing coverage and see what's the right amount to top up from there. Maybe can save abit here or there and may not spend so much in the end

ah I see, well that make sense, you should cover for the loan still outstanding to the loan as at to-date.

Get MLTA in this case.

Any prudential insurance agent here? This is the package my wife sign up to insure my kid from birth. Is it too much? I'm paying RM188 per month.

If you are asking for policy/certificate efficiency, the only way to find out is to make comparisons, just like how you would do the same when buying your gadgets or singing your mortgages. The RM188 is your resource, however it is subdivided and assigned to the policy and its riders is up to you and the agent.

QUOTE(cherroy @ Apr 15 2019, 09:27 AM)
This is the same for both traditional/standalone and ILP medical.

Both cost of insurance definitely will rise together with ages one.
Just in ILP, they utilise (or in other word withdraw/redeem) the unit trust to pay for it.
*
The problem is that the premium/contribution for ILP is cut by the company upfront, when the cost of insurance is the cheapest. whatever the difference between the COI and Premium could have been invested directly

Pru wealth is an ILP....(investment linked protection plan)
comparing it with a non ILP?

read up from last page...there had been some discussion about it very recently......especially those by HoNeYdEwBoY

then,....as normally suggested.
a) You should assess the affordability and suitability of the product (including optional benefits) in relation to your financial goals and risk appetite.
b) Buying life insurance policy is a long term financial commitment.
c) You are advised to choose the type of product(s) that best suits your financial needs.
d) You are advised to read and understand the insurance policy

To achieve this, may i recommend that you speak to your agent and preferably if possible from another companies to perform a needs analysis and discussion and assist you in making an informed decision.

Thank you.

Hi, this is regarding fire insurance for shop house which is rented out.
Can it be insured floor-by-floor so the premium is less?
Because:
Ground floor is currently empty.
1st floor - storage of general merchandise
2nd floor- dwelling

The agent simply gave quotation based on the whole shop house used for retail of general merchandise, which I think carries a higher tariff rate.

I am not sure, the insurance company will normally assess the usage of the overall building and quote accordingly rather than the purpose of each "floor" as they can't ascertain what is each floor used for in the future.

You can insure floor by floor. Just fire happen only cover the floor u r insured.

Fire insurance can include value of stock and what items you would like to choose to cover eg burgarly, stock value, building etc

Pretty much all insurance companies have this. The more famous plan would be an investment-linked-plan.

Dear sifus, my Prudential agent introduced me a cash value life insurance plan called Pru-wealth. Is it a better plan compared to a conventional term life insurance plan? Any other insurance company selling similar product? 

Thank you,
Rain

do you buy because of the cash value or because of the life insurance? if u buy because of cash value, then you might be disappointed. if you buy because of the life insurance then yes that is a good plan. buying intention is very important so you make clear decision.
