Benefit Illustration for a Life Insurance Policy

When the agent gave you a benefit illustration, did the agent explain the following?

1. That you have a 14 day free look period to cancel the policy for a full refund?
2. That the amount shown as "distribution cost" s taken away from your premium?
3. That the "effect of deduction" is taken away from your investments to pay the various charges under the policy?

If the agent has explained these points to you clearly. the agent is being transparent and can be trusted. If some of the information is hidden from you or the explanation is not clear, you have to read the benefit illustration again. If you need help, you can approach FISCA, www.fisca.sg
