what is better option 'Term insurance' or 'whole insurance'? Should we see insurance as a investment or a pure term cover?
06 March 2012
Investment cannot be Term insurance', it can only be 'whole insurance' or similar or shorter terms depending on a particular need and for financial planning.
'Term insurance' is used to cover a person who has loans, outstandings and to ensure family does not lose all in case the breadwinner is no more.
Hence insurance can be a investment or a pure term cover depending on a person's situation.
Ideally insurance is investment as it is a vehicle to ensure a person does not get into the debt trap later in life when money is needed, if investment is started in insurance when one starts working.
