Should You Ever Buy an Investment Linked Policy (ILP)?


When you think about life insurance policies do you think about the peace of mind you get knowing that you’d be protected for life?

 Or, do you recall that one time when a friend-turned-financial-advisor sold you an expensive plan called an investment-linked policy?

 Investment linked policies (ILP) are one of the most complex forms of insurance. Let’s see if you should buy one.
