Unable to comment on specific products

Hi, Mr. Tan,
I have signed up for the following life insurances:

1. Life Protector Plus is uniquely designed to give you maximum and permanent life protection at a very affordable rate. It provies up to 140% extra coverage in addition to your chosen sum insured till age 65. Protection for loss of life, terminal illness and total and permanent disability (TPD). In the event of TPD, a lump sum benefit will be paid. Choice of supplementary benefits available for additional benefits and protection.

2. Nest Egg is a regular premium participating endowment plan which allows me to participate in the performance of the participating fund in the form of bonuses that are not guaranteed.There will be no bonus paid on death or TPD claim. IRR for a sum assured 50k, cover term of 20years and premium term is 15 years is 3.6%

Are these products suitable for me?

I am not able to comment on these two specific products. Generally, I dislike them due to the high upfront cost to pay commission to the agent.

I advise consumers to buy term insurance and invest the difference in a low cost investment fund.
