    The cost of early surrender needs to be felt by insurers, intermediaries, not customers
    Mint Jul 23, 2019

    Other than reasons of lack of transparency and complicated structures, a high exit load—charge levied for early exit—is what makes traditional bundled life insurance plans the least favourite among financial planners and Mint’s personal finance team. In fact, from data on persistency—which is the number that shows how many policies are renewed year after year—it appears that even customers have a change of heart and end up surrendering these plans despite the painfully high exit barriers.

    How foolish. This article only talks about surrender and surrender only. Why would anyone buy the policy if they want to surrender any which ways? How can persistency of insurance companies be better if surrender value is kept at 100%? How can investors benefit if they surrender and get the full value? Why would they stay till the end and fulfill the purpose for which they bought the policy in the first place? And if surrender value is kept at 100% means you are encouraging surrender which is foolish.
