Pure life insurance, the benefit will be obtained by the Insured Heirs, while dwiguna, contains elements of savings and benefits can be obtained by the Policy Holder and or the Insured although there is no claim of death.

Some things to be considered in Traditional Insurance:

1) Sum Insured

For pure life insurance, Sum Assured far greater than the premium to be paid. While dual-life insurance, the sum assured is not so great, but has a definite return benefits and is listed in the policy.

2) Products and Investment Results

Because it is certain and listed in the policy, then the value of the benefits can be calculated. Investment Value is the premium received by the insurance company is invested, but the risk is borne by the insurance company, while the Policyholder has been pledged with certainty the value of cash benefits that will be obtained in the period that has been determined and agreed.

3). Investment Cost

Premiums that are routinely paid by customers, will certainly be managed by insurance companies. These costs have been estimated previously to determine the premium rate.

INSURANCE OF LIFE UNIT LINK:

Unit Link Life Insurance is an insurance that provides a choice of investment benefits, or often also referred to as Unbundled Life insurance, namely Life Insurance which between the elements of protection and investment can be separated clearly.

For unit link products, the important thing to remember is the premium of this product is usually divided into two, namely insurance premiums and investments. Insurance premiums are allocated to finance life protection when the risk of death occurs, while the investment premium will be allocated as an investment that can be enjoyed whenever the investment returns are available.

Some things to watch out for in Link Unit Life Insurance:

1) Sum Insured

The sum assured is small, because most of the premium is allocated for investment. If there is a death claim, the Policy Holder's beneficiary only obtains Sum Insured plus the Unit Link Value. Thus, if the value of the investment has not developed, because it took insurance several years, then the heirs only get a small benefit.

2) Products and Investment Results Under the name of the same insurance product, the results can be different. This is due to the different investment options at the beginning of the contract.

3) Investment Value The value of an investment is not guaranteed (commonly called the value of the policy) by the Insurance Company, and the Policyholder must be aware of the rising risk of the price. If the Fund Manager has a good performance, the value of the Unit Link policy can be profitable because it generates high profits, even much higher than the savings of traditional insurance.

4) Investment Cost Under the condition of rising or falling value of Unit Link, there is always the cost of investment in the burden to the Policyholder. Rider products, such as hospitals, where hospital premiums are paid only for a certain period of time, but covered over, say up to the age of 60 years, in fact premiums to be paid, are only taken from the investment allocation. Unfortunately, some Insurance Company Agencies are less transparent in explaining to their Clients.

CONCLUSION:

All insurance products have different purposes and objectives and benefits, depending on customers' needs. If the customer is young, 25-35 years old, who is more concerned with investment, then Unit Link product can be according to his wishes. Both in terms of protection of his soul for the long term, as well as value added from the investment. As for customers aged over 35 years, it is better to take traditional life insurance, where the sum insured is large since the policy approval, in proportion to the premium paid. This is to anticipate, if at any time there is a risk, either because of illness or because of other reasons.

Such is the general description of the type of life insurance. For that, please you choose life insurance products that match the needs and in accordance with your financial capabilities ...
