 "Do mental health issues affect your life insurance?")
An investor forwarded me a traditional life insurance product and asked me whether he should invest in it. I had to evaluate purely from the point of view of returns or suitability as a fixed income investment. The investor didn’t need life cover.
Breaking down a life insurance product is not easy. There are so many terms, bonuses, loyalty additions, sums assured and much more. There is a play on the timing of payments, too.
I wondered why these plans are so complex and what could have the insurance company done to make it easier for the investor to decide on his own (especially if the investor is assessing the suitability purely as an investment product)?
