Are you interested in having unit link life insurance too? Check out this article first.


What is Unit Link Life Insurance?

Previously, let's discuss the meaning of unit link insurance first. Unit-linked insurance is insurance in which there is a combination of insurance and investment products. Unit-linked insurance, as we know it, is a life insurance product on a unit-linked basis. That way, unit-linked life insurance can be said to be a life insurance product with two components: protection and investment.


How Does Unit Link Life Insurance Work?

The workings of unit-linked life insurance start from the policyholder paying the initial rate intended to pay for protection, administrative costs, insurance management fees, and acquisition costs. 


Later, these insurance rates will also be included in the investment instrument you choose. This insurance rate will produce investment results where this result will be used to pay insurance costs. Thus, the covered protection will be paid out of the investment results. Oh yes, the investment value of the policyholder will be deducted regularly to pay for insurance costs. After all, payments are made, the policyholder can use the investment value as an education fund or pension fund.


However, to keep in mind, as long as the policy value is sufficient to cover the premium, the protection covered will continue to run. Otherwise, the insurance company will ask the customer to top up the funds, or the policy will be cancelled if the policy value is insufficient to pay the insurance costs. 


For this reason, you need to read the insurance policy carefully and ask the marketers clearly so that they are not misguided.
