- You never know about Auto Insurance or Motor? Or maybe health insurance? Well kind of term insurance is usually purchased by many people, because the premium payment cheap and get great benefits. In other words, pay less, failure by many, but if it is not used in insurance claims and does not occur, then the money we deposited will be forfeited.

We pay the same as travel insurance, time will be billed an amount of money on a plane, after getting off the plane safely, the contract is completed. Because the premium payment period is not specified, then every year, premiums will increase with age insured.

- Wholelife, meaningful life. This type of insurance protects the insured until the end of the age, are usually covered up to age 99 years. And great! premium payment period is determined from the outset, there could be no extension of the period of premium payment.

Usually the premium offered is much larger than the type TERM and Wholelife.

Modern Insurance

Non Traditional insurance or insurance called modern, is a type of insurance with UNIT-LINK. Where the Unit Link Insurance is very popular at the moment, why? because unit-Link is a type of insurance that combines life insurance and investments. Mated life insurance with investment, is a type TERM. Remember! TERM if it is a short-term insurance, and insurance costs could rise with age.

UNIT + LINK = TERM Investment

Most people take a Unit Linked because they want to save the results many times, than have savings in the bank, the interest does not amount to much. By investing or MUTUAL FUND, then the money we invest will grow prolifically. But you have to remember, the greater the profit, the greater the risk.

Investment can increase and may decline, according to the economic development of the nation at that time. In times of crisis, it is certain that the value of investments that we have dropped dramatically, and consequently the value of our savings will be depleted. If so, do not protest my last want gain a lot, means must bear the loss as well .. :)

It is certain, on the type of unit link insurance, do not have a cash value that is guaranteed, even the company that issued the insurance policy, the cash value can not promise that obtained in X. Another case of traditional insurance, in her policy is clearly stated and guaranteed cash values ​​obtained in X.

Because there is no guaranteed cash value, probably in the 11th or so, the insured must pay the premiums back, even though the promised pay only 10 years old, in fact is not listed in the policy premium payment period, so that premiums can be BILLED BACK at any time.

Link Unit, bear the cost of life insurance is the type TERM, then each year the costs will go up with age, and the cash value that is formed will cut the cost of insurance and other administrative costs.
