I took a wealth provider policy with panafrica insurance but i've got no idea how many units i have or how much they are worth. If i ask for a statement, i get a statement showing how much premium i've paid. Anyone with an idea of how to know how many units i have and what those units are worth?

@Josiah33: Pretty interesting, you need to visit their offices and demand answers. ICEA does provide a statement complete with interests earned to date. If the absense of this, how would anyone know how their policy is doing?!

@barrywhite umenichanua. Those people must let me know how much am worth now. The only thing i know is that the unit price was sh.18 when i took the policy and now it's sh.27.44 or something like that.

any investment insurance in kenya is a mere con due to material facts non disclosure by agents.Take pure life cover seriously though.

@Josiah33: How many units did you initially buy? Then if you know the quantity and the unit price, you can calculate the value of your investment.

@barrywhite that's my dilemma. You see, i've got no idea how many units i've bought up to now because i can't calculate how many they are from the premiums i pay even when i know the unit price at that particular time. If only i knew how much upfront fee they deduct and their other charges i'd be in a position to know how many units i have after deduction of upfront fee and cancellation of some units to cover this other charges. @niando is insurance investment a con for non disclosure by agents of the fact that it is worthless or is it a con for not disclosing how your policy is doing even when it's supposed to be doing fine?

The agents wont tell you that 45% of your premium goes to 'administration fees' read their commission in the first year and 10% till the maturity of the 'investment'.

woe unto you if you decide to withdraw after the policy has acquired a surrender value.

A certain percentage will be deducted to punish you for that.This is not indicated anywhere in the policy so the Insurance company has an upper hand.Utado?

Josiah did you know that .

Many other costs too.

Buyer beware .

I have burnt my fingers on these 'investment 'policies.Learned and moved foward.

@niando ok, looks like i've burnt my fingers but i am made to understand that if u hold on for 5 years and above your returns would be able to cover for the initial administrative and agents commissions and still be left with something. I am going to find out the truth from those panafrica guys.

Relax; Just because you don't have info doesn't mean there is something wrong with the policy. As you find out the truth about the policy enjoy its benefits like taking a loan against it. PanAfrica is a very good co. and all policies under AKI are similar if not the same. Pan Africa scooped the following Awards last yr: Fastest in claim settlement, best customer service!, 1st Runners-up in ICT, life insurer of the year, Fraud Detection And Prevention Initiative Of the Year.
Disclaimer: I don't work or intend to work for Pan-Africa or any insurance co. I've 2 policies with them and a loan on one of them.
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.
