Guys, I have a prudential Ilp at its 18 yr. lose money for sure

Also bought 2 for my kids

What are my options?

 

I can always add on more insurance by buying more insurance from saf group term insurance

For investment, I can always turn to etf

 

Can I stop my contributions by stopping the insurance portion then wait for an opportune time to sell off my units when the price gets better?

How come 18 years still losing money? Mine less than 10 years break even already. Since it is more than 10 years. You can cut losses by reducing sum assured to 0 if you don't want the coverage anymore. Then keep the money in there and maybe rebalance the fund allocation and let it grow till you need it.

Stay calm...

 

Recheck your options...

 

Should have some flexibility to "re-design" your ILP - check whether can switch funds to a more profitable ones, allocation, insured and investment amount, how's your current health situations, how much rider coverage your ILP has, etc...

 

Can't go into details for you, but you need to DIY for the fine prints and details.

 

Worse case scenario will be to liquidate the loss, start afresh... But make sure your critical illness coverage is not severely affected.

My whole life cannot breakeven even after 25 years and somemore need to top up premiums at one stage. :wacko:

 

Got another small ILP, need to switch funds and reduce investment to minimise losses after relooking at their simulation and actual performance.

 

All I use cash money to "invest" ones seem like loose $$$

 

Another one I use CPF to buy, I liquidated within 1 year and made some profits. But, cannot take out $$$ :XD:

I have received calls from Prudential , thrice in last 4 days and just 2 days back gap was likely hardly 1/2 a day...... they must be on some kind of surge or dynamic mode; After my bitter sour taste experience with AIA with Choice Life 10 .... KNN  pay and pay premium until like dont know when to stop (finally stopped only this year and had to pay extra about 10 years ) as they finally say the Policy can run on its own finally now,   i don't want to work with any of them Western or American Insurance Companies, I trust our local ones more better

How much did you lose? Mine broke even around the 8~9th yr mark.

If you want more coverage, buy a proper medical insurance.

I think you can adjust the % but not totally cut off. Normally, they will send a quarterly or half yearly report. Look through the number and do adjustment accordingly.

You see.. you are savvy to how the mechanisms work.. most people.. are those that think.. buy liao .. chuck it one side.. every month just pay....wait till maturity.. can take money and go happy... but fact is.. many dont bother to read the fine print.. 

 

imo.. i feel.. that agents take such a decent portion of the $$ .. yet sadly the follow-up advice is lacking.. or maybe.. the people who buy them in the first place.. really dont bother...  and only start to kpkb when shit hits the fan..  

 

eitherway.. personally..  term insurance and self invest...  period.

Like me la, go buy SAF term insurance and surrender all the ILPs and stuff.

 

Much more money to put into SSB :grin:
