Are You Making The Common Mistake Of Considering Term Plan As An Investment?
Many people typically buy a financial product only when they get returns. As a consequence, they consider term insurance plans as an investment. The truth is that a term plan is a pure insurance product that provides financial protection to your family which pays the family when the insured’s eventuality, such as death or critical illness, occurs. Here’s why you should not view online term plans as investments.
Term plan protects your family till you have saved enoughIt takes time for people to save enough for various life goals, such as a home, car, retirement, child’s higher education and wedding. Most people use regular investments to prepare themselves to meet all life goals as and when they are due. Typically, the work life of people is around 30-35 years, and people keep contributing to their savings kitty till retirement, so that the family can lead a comfortable life and fulfil aspirations of family members. At the initial stage of one’s career, people are most vulnerable against risks to life of the earning member. This is because there aren’t enough assets built from which ample future income could arise and take care of the family in his absence. With time, as one starts accumulating assets, there are sources of future income which can financially support the family
Protects from premature exits from investmentsYou might have made excellent investments that are growing well. That said, distant life goals, such as child’s higher education and retirement, need substantial savings accumulated over long periods. Now, if the worst were to happen to you, all your hard work would come to a naught because your family might have to make premature liquidation to make ends meet, be it taking care of the living expenses or meeting obligations such as outstanding loans. This is where a term plan comes in. It provides financial cushion so that your existing investments can run their full course.
Protection allows you to explore high growth investmentsIf you and your family are financially vulnerable, your risk appetite would be low. Your main investment objective would be to remain focused more on preserving capital, and not growth. Hence, you would prefer to invest in conservative products like fixed income investments such as fixed deposits where the returns unlikely grow faster than inflation. On the other hand, if you take a term plan with ample life insurance coverage, you would be assured of your family’s well-being in your absence. This can increase your risk appetite while investing. Equities are known to be volatile in the short- to medium-term, but are considered one of the best asset classes for long-term investment made over 8-10 years or more. This capacity to invest in higher risk, higher return investments, is enhanced by ample coverage from term plans.
Term plan is an expense that rewards you much more in a different wayGiven the all round financial security term plans bring, they are far more rewarding than many think. It would be wrong to compare the benefits of a term plan with other investments since its function is completely different i.e. of protection. Since term plans are the least expensive ways of ensuring your family with a high life cover at a nominal cost, it’s prudent to include its premium as an essential expense for the family’s well-being.
Explained! The Differences Between Buying A Term Plan Online And From An Advisor
Now that you have decided to buy a term plan, the next question on your mind will be whether to approach an advisor or buy the plan online all by yourself. We tell you how these two approaches work and which one you should use given the circumstancess.
Self learning, need analysis and expert advice
When buying a policy through an advisor, you would typically need just a good reference of an advisor. This is usually from a person whom you trust, and who has had a good experience with the recommended advisor, both in terms of subject knowledge and service quality. Another way of finding an advisor is to do basic research or ask your friends and relatives about how to find the right insurance company. Once you decide the company from which you want to buy your term plan, you can call up their sales team or contact their branch office from where you are assigned an advisor.
The advisor works like a consultant who asks many questions to you to learn about your finances and understand your future financial needs. Based on your inputs he can suggest a term plan that’s suited for you. When you decide to buy a term plan online, you will need to figure out the way yourself by going through numerous resources like knowledge websites, expert blogs, forums and online communities, and know about the various products and people’s experiences, as well as understand the process of need analysis.
Finding the right company for your term plan
Advisors can be associated with only one life insurance company. Therefore, their recommended products would come out from that company. On the other hand, an online search process, besides helping you find the right insurance amount, will also help you find an appropriate term plan that meets your financial security needs in the best possible manner. Online forums also provide you the platform to interact with many people who had similar experiences and have gone through this self-learning process earlier. Discussion on similar topics available on various blogs and forums also work as a readymade material with which you can quickly relate and move up the learning curve about discovering your insurance needs and the right product. You can also ask questions to subject matter experts on their blogs. You could also find many online product aggregator websites which provide the quickest and easiest way to comprehend the comparison on various product features offered by insurance companies.
One point contact verses direct contact
Besides assisting you on your insurance needs, an advisor could also help you with your overall financial planning. As a one-point contact, most advisors help their clients in regular premium payments, nomination updates, change of address or bank details, and if need arises, help the family with the claim settlement. However, when you have sufficient time and interest to do it yourself, you can get full control of managing your personal finances by buying insurance plans online, among other things. With evolution of alternate channels like customer service on phone or email, you can also have direct communication with the insurance companies. You can get statements and updates over email. You can also get your requests processed through phone, email, or by contacting the nearest branch of the insurance company.
Cost saving vs. convenience and consultancy cost
When you embrace the advisor model, there are many costs which are built in the price of the term plan bought through the advisor that the insurance company bears in the distribution of the product. Besides the commission from the insurance company, many financial advisors also charge a consultancy fee. On the other hand, if you buy the term plan online, the insurance company saves on the distribution and operational expenses, and hence, passes on the benefit to the customer by way of lower premium charges.
Why Buying The Term Plan Later Will Be Costlier Than You Think
We have all heard the saying “stitch in time saves nine” referring to the importance of doing things on time or face the consequences of the delays. The age old wisdom works pretty well when it comes to delays in buying life insurance, especially term plans. Mostly people wait for events like marriage or parenthood to buy a term plan when the need to protect their loved ones dawns on them. However, buying a term plan later in life is more disadvantageous than it may appear.
This is to state the obvious. Without a high life insurance coverage term plan you and your family remain exposed during a phase of life when, in your absence, your savings will not be enough for your family to meet regular expenses and future needs. If the worst were to happen, your investments would also have to undergo premature liquidation. This effectively is a huge cost your family will have to pay at a time of great need.If you buy a term plan when young, your premiums are lower compared to buying them later. This is because of lower mortality charge levied by the life insurance company which increases with age. So, more the delay in buying the term plan, higher the premium you will end up paying. On the other hand, if you buy a term plan early on, besides paying a low premium, you enjoy this advantage throughout the term of the plan.If you buy a term plan at early age then most of the medical tests are waived off or are lighter in nature. However, as you get along with the years, medical conditions surface typically from the late 30's to 40s. At this stage, medical tests are comprehensive and in the event of detection of complications, you will need to pay a higher premium. Also, you could be charged a higher premium if you have been suffering from ailments in the period leading up to buying the plan.
Postponing the purchase of a term plan leads to certain consequences which few people anticipate. With time you have other financial obligations such as meeting regular obligations like home and car loan EMIs, school education expenses of your children. This means there will be competing demands for your money by many important heads of expenses. The term plan premium payment only adds to the difficulty.
As you progress in life, your income and savings go up. It is important that this savings is deployed in investments in progressively increasing amounts to meet all future needs with ease. This process is likely to get disturbed if your finances get stretched thanks to premium obligations. Remember, the life insurance cover needed in later years will keep rising as you are likely to have increasingly higher living expenses and aspire for upgraded goals like foreign education for children, instead of studies in India.
Clearly, the cost of a delay in securing your family with a term plan is much more than what meets the eye initially. There is little doubt that you owe to your family the stitch in time especially when it comes to securing them.
