Policy Replacement
01. What are the factors I need to consider when replacing an existing policy?
We strongly advise you to carefully consider the potential drawbacks of replacing an existing policy, particularly when it involves a lifetime protection. Some questions to ask:
- Will the new policy provide you with the same level of returns and guarantee values as the existing policy?
- Will you get continuous coverage from the new policy (as some new policies have a waiting period)?
- Will the replacement incur extra charges?
- Will the new policy require an extra medical examination or increase in premiums?
