Investment Portfolio
There are some common misconceptions about what insurance companies do with the premium they collect from you and other policyholders. Some people think it sits in the bank until someone makes a claim. This is not true. Others believe that premiums go to pay for claims that have already happened. Not true either.
Your premium dollar travels a long and winding road but in the end, most of it goes to assist customers in one way or another. For example, if you or your family suffer a loss financially through disability, critical illness, terminal illness or death, a portion of your premium and those of other policyholders find its way back to you or your family, to help you recover from this loss.
