My life insurance policies

Dear Kin Lian
I am insured with NTUC. Seriously. I am naive and ignorant, how I should address my concerns (of the poor return) to the management board? Do you still have NTUC policies?

REPLY
I had about 15 life insurance policies during my time with NTUC Income, including policies taken for my children. Many of them have matured. Some were transferred to my children.

I cancelled four whole life policies (on my life) during the past two years, due to the reduction in bonus rate and the increase in management expenses. As I am past 60, I do not need the insurance protection.

I have only a few investment linked policies left. I shall cancel them at the right time.
