I bought a A-Life Link + Medi Plus Investment Link Plan from my friend, from AIA.
Every month I'm paying RM500.
After servicing one and a half years I check my fund value and is terribly shock to see it's only RM6.3k despite I've been forked out RM8k so far.
And I find out from every RM500 only RM420 was invested for UT. Others are management fee, charges, GST bla bla bla. It's a bloody 16%!

I feel like bloody cheated. I bought it in hope for capital appreciation, I address this issue clearly before I sign the plan.
Now tell me how many UT out there can beat an appreciation of 16%?
Not to mention my coverage from Medi Plus is only fcuking RM10k in case of death or permanent disable.
Seriously? RM10k only?

Currently on premium holiday. Still thinking what to do next.

IMO AIA ILP policy sucks. At least for the one I'm holding.

So disappointed I must say.

Hello, u are buying INSURANCE, it is an EXPENSE.

U expect to pay RM8K and get back RM8K cash value, i.e. get insured for FREE?

Know your insurance and finance.

What is investment-linked insurance?
It is buying into UTs, and using the UTs' value to pay for your insurance costs.
E.g. your insurance cost per annum is RM2K, and you pay RM8K per year, you should get back only RM6K of value (assuming zero management fee, agent commission, charges etc, just for discussion purpose).

Don't simply tembak if u don't do your homework.

P.S - I'm not an insurance agent

Hello. Did u even READ?

No. I don't expect to pay for free.
But deduct 16% of my fee to cover only RM10k in case of death and disable? It's overpriced!

Don't simply tembak reply if u don't even read.
And you're not helping. Stop flaming.

I repeat - you did not read your policy document

Read the section on the rate of agent commission, and section on charges.

And, do u know that share markets did not performed well over the past 1 year and so?
UTs are investments, u expect your insurance company's fund managers to beat the market and deliver positive returns all the time?

I dare you to report to the insurance company, Securities Commission, Bank Negara or any higher authority, all will laugh u off.

Calling roystevenung
He's Prudential agent, NOT AIA agent. He will gladly tembak u into enlightenment.

I'd rather a legit AIA to provide their own insights into this.

As for you, just another typical keyboard warrior.

i remember one saying, if buy insurance juz opt for sole protection purpose, don bother those saving plan, investment plan etc. if not mistaken, it was said by mr.chong the tax consultant who always appear on 988 and tv shows.

let say a PA per annum premium cost u RM1xx can cover rm120000 death + disable, then got medical expenses few thousands, dental benefits, ambulance, hospital incomes , etc

then juz add 1 medical card

Hi

From the look of it, you've purchased into an investment-linked policy, the first year commission is charged at 20% for distribution fee, this is written upfront in the policy and also in the proposal form before you accepted it. If the agent didn't explain this part, then blame on the agent that you bought from.

As for the product, it is across all insurance company, this model is run by all the insurance company, be it you want to jump to other insurance company, same foul cry you're going to make. It's not going to be any greener on the other side.

And if you're buying the investment-link policy for "CAPITAL Appreciation" purpose, then you're on the wrong boat son. Insurance is for protection, if you're looking for 8% - 35% return, forgetĀ  about it.

The problem here is not AIA, the problem is you buying the policy for wrong intention which was "capital appreciation".

Hi.

You're right. I was not informed about this 20% part.
And it's over one year, the deduction fee is still the same.
And no I don't receive any hard copy policy. Website wise it's not written.
Just as I suspected the agent's fault.
I'll just cancel the policy then thanks.

How long was ur policy ago ?

Why haven't the agent deliver you the policy ?

1.5 years.
And it's still deducting the same 16% fee, not just 1st year.
The agent's my school Friend. He hope to get me sign up proper insurance but I wish to observe what kind of service he deliver so support him a ILP first instead.
Looks like I made a right choice.
