A, an American living in Singapore, recently bought some properties and was looking for insurance. He turned to his friend, B, who works in the insurance industry, to help him out.
B recommended that A purchases term insurance, either level term or mortgage protection, as the insurance need was to just cover off the mortgages. B drafted a letter up on behalf of A, requesting term quotes to the top 10 insurance companies in Singapore.
A received quotes for unit linked investment plans from all the companies, and some companies stated they didn't sell term, or that they didn't know what "level term" was. A & B decided to follow up with company X, as they had the cheapest quote so far. They were told that "X doesn't offer level term", to which B replied "Yes you do, it's called x-Term". They requested that a senior agent come out and meet with them.
At the meeting, the agent pulled out his laptop and started to show ILP's. Again, A said that he is looking for term. The agent replied that term was not worth his time to do. This would have been the easiest sale in the world, as A was ready to sign on the dotted line right there, no hard sale to do, just fill out the paper work.
They also requested a meeting with company Y. They never showed up, and when they called, they said sorry and never arranged another meeting.
So, A & B decided to get some quotes from the USA, since he's American. The term quotes coming in from the USA, where about 50% cheaper than the quotes from Singapore. Even taking into account that they were for preferred underwriting, and underwriting tests are cheaper in the US, this is a large markup in Singapore. Particularly since Singapore mortality is better than the US!
So the morale of the tale, even if you want to buy term, it is very difficult to do.
