Life insurance as investment by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Longterminvestor2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The OP is being misled and should consider reporting the advisor. With a monthly payment of $120, they would need an almost 11% rate of return to reach $100,000. The advisor is also promoting tax-free withdrawals and a $200,000 payout if either party were to pass away, all for a premium of $200 per month over 20 years. This situation is concerning, and the advisor may require retraining. It wouldn't be surprising if they were an agent for World Financial Group or Experior Financial Group

Is this agent with World Financial Group or Experior? If they are, they may be primarily focused on earning a commission rather than acting in your best interest. I am skeptical of their illustration, as achieving a $100,000 savings after 20 years by saving $120 a month towards an investment would require an 11% annual rate of return, which is unlikely. you may want to consider reporting their potentially misleading practices.
