Conclusion:

ILP need to pay yearly fund management fee 1-2%. Return is so so at 3-4% ..

Ignorance people get mislead into buying ILP thinking the Investment can help to offset premium later. They pay a higher monthly fee to cover insurance and investment. Agent also get a higher commission.

The truth is, you can actually buy a standalone and invest the extra money your own way. You can offset the premium in the future using your own investment . Pay zero fee for investment and potentially higher return if you know how.

ILP is just a way for them to make more money. The fund manager charge u 1-2% every year and agent drive bmw.

The management fee don't go to agent. It's for fund manager that manage your investment fund. If you think 1% is low, times with the size of their fund then you know. Remember fund manager usually manage ten to hundreds of millions.

But some one pointed out above GE scenario the standalone policy commission is higher than ILP how leh ?

That one I have no idea. But think about this. ILP usually pay 3-4 times more per month.

The fee is in percentage. So who pay more at the end?

100 x 10% = 10
300 x 8% = 24

If....

Might as well say don't buy any insurance if one is rich enough to cover potential medical fee.

What u talking about? Even rich people buy insurance. Insurance is a good thing, protect you from the risk. Not the ILP.
