Investment-linked policies also have different types and they will ask what’s your risk appetite and how soon do you want to see returns.
I’ll say this much: with few exceptions, not a single fund can beat the market overall. Some years you’ll do better, some years you’ll do worse. Consider it as a way to park excess money, but if you’re eligible for the Amanah Sahams, take those instead.
I’d say so, but ILPs will be a dominant part of a typical agent’s sales pitch so if you don’t prep you might get caught up by their catalogue. But at least you got that clear!
Thanks for the great insight by the way! The one thing that bothered me is the base plan was life insurance and TPD, which wasn’t what I really wanted(I’m mainly looking for medical insurance). I guess I just need to think what I really and get a plan that I really need, then only add riders as years go on.

Eh, shouldn’t I treat investments and insurance apart tho ? 😅
