hi, I do not know of any agents. Nid some quotes before I make up my mind buying a whole life policy. Prob go with the cheapest in the market, not really interested in returns, just coverage alone. Details as below

1) Whole life 100k SA with CI rider (pure without the multiplier, I already have a term)
2) 27 years old male, non smoker
3) pay 20 years

To make a more complete comparison, u may want to consider term insurance cos there are some which covers up to 99 yrs old and add CI rider. I think CI is capped at 65 yrs for even for whole life.

Covering using term till age 99 is not practical. Yes premium is much cheaper but considering the total outlay of premiums over the whole term VS a whole life policy which pays for a limited term and covers for life, it is not cost efficient at all. Not forgetting that there is cash value accumulated inside a Whole life policy.

And as for CI, it stays on for life too for whole life policy nowadays.

Hi, compare the outlay of premiums vs the payout when something happens, and you'll note that the term will win in regards to coverage. Albeit having a disadvantage of not having a surrender value.

The question now is do you think a surrender value is more important or the coverage.

Mate, if you're only worried about rock-bottom rates, get some more term life. DirectAsia just quoted me seventy bucks a year for a 27-year-old non-smoker. SEVENTY BUCKS. That's two thousand dollars a year of extra cash in your pocket.

If you save that two thousand bucks a year and stick it in the stock market and don't touch it, then at the end of twenty years you'll end up with - not forty thousand dollars, but sixty-six thousand bucks. By the time you're 57, you'll have $100,000 in actual cash money. If you live to 77, you'll have a quarter of a million.

I think the question you should be asking is "why do I really want a whole-life policy? What am I trying to do?"

Would you do a breakdown of what was quoted for you? How long is the coverage for and what kind (critical illness/death/tpd/ti) and amount of coverage is in that?

Would be much appreciated if you would!

This policy is a yearly renewable term plan offered by Axa. Your premium will increase as you age. So it is not comparable to a whole life plan with CI coverage.

For insurance products, you pay for what you get. What you got pays only for Death and TPD and nothing on CI. I will recommend you Aviva SAF plan for it provides such coverage on level premium till age 65.

For limited payment life plans, for thread starter, premium term ends in 20 years. Which meant he do not need to keep his money invested like yourself to provide coverage. It will be at a discounted dollar compared to your planning where assets is your invested money.

You may want to check how is your investment portfolio now, discipline in investing, liquidity and profitability, estate tax if applicable in event of Death and TPD. Some may not like the investment risk.

“What’s the definition of a good investment?"
One that pays the most when it’s needed the most.”

Yes you are right in why do I really want a whole-life policy and what am I trying to do?
