Life insurance offers protection against risks such as disability and death, and lets you save on taxes<\/a> while your retirement capital continues to grow through compound interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people\nthink that life insurance must be expensive because it offers so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The truth is that only a small portion of your monthly savings goes towards insurance fees. Most of the capital you pay in continues to belong to you and will grow steadily through compound interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a single life insurance policy you can cover several needs at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do I\nbenefit from life insurance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life\ninsurance policies are incredibly diverse. The best life insurance policy can be\ncustomised according to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if a\ntrip abroad or emigration is planned, no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 2\ntypes of life insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Term life\ninsurance, which is divided into death and disability insurance, and endowment\nlife insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment of\ninsured capital in the event of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the\nevent of disability due to illness, the insured person continues to receive a\nsalary so that he or she does not have to live on welfare at subsistence level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Endowment life insurance combines risk protection (see above) and savings. The contributions are saved in the form of the 3rd pillar and earn interest.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\nchoose whether you want to receive a fixed rate of interest or profit from\nreturn opportunities (higher risk, but much higher return).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Young\ninsured persons in particular usually choose the chance of return, since such a\nlong investment horizon usually results in much more capital for the insured\nperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More and\nmore people are choosing this form, also called mixed life insurance, because\nit can be used in so many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end\nof the insurance period, such an enormous capital is built up through compound\ninterest, which would never be possible by saving alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payments\ninto life insurance can be made via pillar 3a or pillar 3b (e.g. if you move\nabroad).<\/p>\n\n\n\nDoes life insurance make\nsense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
