Dear Ringgitplus,

I have an Investment-Linked Insurance policy which I have been paying for the past 7 years. In 2021, the insurance company raised my premium for 30%. Now in December of 2023, they sent me a notice saying the premium will be increased for another 50% starting next year.

I am unhappy with the frequent increments of premium. If I want to terminate the policy, how many percent of the Investment Value (which is invested in Unit Trusts) can I get back from the insurance company?

Normally, the amount you receive when terminating your policy depends on the surrender value, which is subject to deductions such as charges and fees. Contact your insurance company for specifics.
