1. Higher potential returns
An ILP could potentially give you higher returns than other types of policies, such as endowment plans. Lest it reminds you of a marketing hook employed by insurance agents, the keyword here is ‘potentially’. You shouldn’t put complete faith in this statement, although there is some degree of truth that ILPs can give you more bang for buck.
This is because the money you pay for your ILP is used to purchase units of a fund. These units can ultimately be sold in the future, which would determine your returns. There is also the possibility of additional bonus units given out, depending on your account value and duration of your ILP premium payment.
