The pros of term insurance are:
- It provides the most cover for the least premium, compared to whole life and endowment insurances.
- Renewable and convertible term insurances are flexible, and they safeguard the life insured against a sudden loss of insurability.
The cons of term insurance would include:
- It does not offer any surrender, loan, paid-up values and non-forfeiture privileges.
- Underwriters tend to underwrite such applications much more stringently and the non-medical limits are usually lower than that of permanent insurances.
- As it has no savings element, the policyowner receives nothing at the end of the term of the policy.
