This could a big miss, and potential lead to people to misunderstand the standalone medical premium keep on increase, while with ILP, its premium of medical coverage doesn't.
The fact, ILP never state the premium is guaranteed forever the same.
It depends on the cash value to compensate the COI.
Imagine after listen to an agent saying ILP premium will be the same until maturity, after 20 years later, insurance company sent a letter stated, cash value of ILP not enough to cover, need to top up premium, if not risk of cease of coverage.
How do you feel about the "miss" done by the agent only after 20 years later on?
i strongly agree with cherroy statement above . . . if compare for medical rider attached to ILP / traditional / standalone card the INSURANCE PREMIUM will still increase as age increases.
Why ILP does not increase in most cases told by agent? It's because ILP or investment-link policy have cash value
in the policy & will increase year by year. Insurance company will project the return of certain % FORECAST in the quotation as investment return less the inflation on medical charge. Do take note there is no guarantee in any Investment.
+points for getting ILP early or when you are young:
*insurance charge is low compare to majority of other range of product
*can accumulate some form of savings & policy will not easily lapse compare to standalone
*flexible to top up / reduce the coverage from time to time
