Should I get my prudential agent to review my insurance policy or should I get an independent agent to review?

Hi,

Should I get my prudential agent to review my insurance policy? However, my concern would be she will try to sell new insurance to me.

In other side, if I get an independent agent to review my insurance policy. My concern would be I am new to him/her how am I know whether him/her advice is not up selling insurance products?

Need some advice on this.

Stick the to guidelines here and you will do fine. The value add of a consultant is simply to find the best structure for your requirements.

My 2 cents:

Take 1 step back and review what you need,

yes, what you need.

Insurance, to my knowledge, serves our protection needs the best.

Lastly, it’s also wise to update ourselves of the latest developments in insurance products.

You can share your insurance portfolio if you need further clarifications.

Hi, what are the pros and cons of buying insurance from an independent agent vs direct agent? I am considering getting a life insurance with Early CI rider and both agents recommend NTUC Star Assure. Any thoughts?

Would you get insurance coverage with (1) tied agent representing a direct insurer or (2) financial advisor from an 'independent' financial advisory firm or (3) insurance specialist at a bank?

My insurance agents have been pushing me to get whole life limited pay and ILPs. I am slightly persuaded but also especially cautious with reviews on them online. Should I insist on a term insurance?

If I have decided on a particular insurance policy I want, would it be better if I engage the insurer's agent or an independent one?

Do insurance agents use overinflated values (e.g.life coverage of 10x annual income) to get people to buy expensive policies? Are these values grounded/realistic?
