How the value of this kind of plan works

How the value of this kind of plan works

Read this before any illustration. It describes these plans in general; the policy contract decides.

Guaranteed part
Guaranteed cash value is specified in the contract. Early values are usually low; non-guaranteed values may change.
Non-guaranteed part
Dividends and bonuses depend on the insurer’s results and can be cut. Fulfillment ratios show past payouts.
Stopping early
Early surrender usually returns less than premiums paid. The break-even year depends on the individual illustration.
Currency
Values are paid in the policy currency. If you spend in another currency, exchange rates can add to or erase the return.
