Tan Kin Lian: 现金返还保险计划 – Oct 28, 2009
写在前面,下面的中文请忽略。关于是否要买这种保险,上个周六在ZH家听他提到一下,原话大概是这样的:如果超过十年就继续供着,否则的话是亏本。未来两天会将他的“提纲”贴出来以嗜读者。
原文:现金返还保险计划 (Cash back insurance policy)
作者:Tan Kin Lian
翻译:玖伍贰柒
跨度:0.5天
现金返还计划是一个基本条款和年返还条款的结合。基本条款是整个生命保单年费年费为5000元,然后25年年底2%的年收益。现金返还条款特点是加了另外的1000元年费然后第二年开始付950元(第一年是没有的)。现金返还条款其实是降低年收益到1.8%。
保险经纪告诉保户他从第二年开始就可以得到返还现金,这使得整个计划很有吸引力。但是经纪并没有解释年收益降低或者因为现金返还的存在而使得年收益减少了。
经纪在6000元年费上赚取佣金(包括付给现金返还计划的年费)。如果分配成本是200%,那么保户就需付12000元的分配,包括现金返还的分配。
为现金返还计划付出更高的保费而相对增加的保费获得减少,这样对保户来说很不划算。但是保户并不知道这类保单的策略。经纪会宣传这是具有“开创性”的保单。
这是翻译得最坑坑洼洼的文章,对大部分的专业术语一头雾水,其中可能将作者的意思拉到千里之外了,费正清都没我厉害。而这篇文章只有短短的几段提纲挈领文字,还是看原文吧:
Cash back insurance policy by Tan Kin Lian
I wish to explain why a cash back insurance policy gives a poor yield to the consumer.
A cash back policy combined a basic policy with an annual refund feature. Let us take a hypothetical case. The basic policy is a whole life policy with an annual premium of $5,000 and a yield at the end of 25 years of 2% per annum. The cash back feature adds an additional premium of $1,000 and pays $950 a year from the 2nd year (i.e. no payment for the first year). The cash back feature reduces the yield to 1.8% per annum.
The agent tells the customer that he is getting a cash back every year (after the first year) and makes it look like a more attractive policy. But the agent does not explain that the yield has reduced or the effect of deduction has increased with the cash back feature.
The agent earns commission on the increased premium of $6,000 (including the premium paid for the cash back feature). If the distribution cost is 200%, the customer will be paying $12,000 in distribution cost, including the cost attributable to the cash back feature.
It does not make sense for the customer to pay a higher premium for the cash back feature and get back less than the increased premium. But the consumer does not know about this structure of the policy. The agent tells the consumer that this is an “innovative policy”.
在这篇文章后面有几个留言可以说是注释。大概有两点:
1. 现金返还是拿回自己的现金,却没有利息。。。如果你没有“坚持”到最后,则会损失一部分资产。这个计划是强制性的,同时保期太长。。。只有保险公司和经纪在赚钱。
2. 。。。人比较难坚持存钱,因此有客户还是很谢谢我让她十年后可以拿到那么多的钱,尽管我从她的保费中赚取了很大一部分。。。T.K.L对取出返还的现金会将本来就低的收益率变得更低,但是如果不提取的话,那么收益率还是会增加少少的。(注:我不知道里面的PS/BI指什么)

反正我对国内的保险一点兴趣都没。新国的就不知道了。

其实都一样的,也是种类繁多让人无可适应的计划
