Shall I take reviewable or guaranteed life insurance premiums ?
Friday, October 17th, 2008There are a few options available for your premium when you decide to take life insurance . Although most of the life insurance only policies will only sell you a guaranteed premium. A guaranteed policy means that the premiums will remain the same for the duration of the contract and never change.
The reviewable ones that are available can change, these are often cheaper at the start of the plan, however they can get more expensive over time. This could transpire to be more expensive however at the end than taking a guaranteed premium
Well how is the policy reviewed you may ask ? Well this is based upon a number of different factors, the first one being claims experience and the experience over the industy, early cancellation of plans in the industry, how much it has cost to reassure the polcies, tax or changes in legislation over the previous years, investment returns, if andy medical advances have effected things in the last few years and finally but not least the expectation of future claims.
The premium could either go up, down or stay the same depending on what circumstances have occured. So when deciding what policy to take this is an important decision to make, do your research and work out how much you can afford every month. Term and the difference between reviewable and guaranteed prices at the time will obviously be an influence on the final decision you make.
