Insurance is obviously a scam .. Been paying mine since 2017 and never once i use itbur the insurer write to me that there will be a hike in premium payments because others are using it casing the pool to shrink ..

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.

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

It's better to rely on the payment schedule of the insurance plan to see how it scales as one ages.

Some non ILP plans like standalone medical card or term plan pricing towards older age scales up very high.

But as 4D is not compulsory to buy, i think insurance is also in that sense not compulsory. It's like how we see people queue up buy 4D hoping to kena and this is other way round. Hope don't kena then Win.
