Before thinking of where to invest your money and get rich, think for a moment which situation applies to you...
Are you thinking how you can build up cash assets fast so you can retire in comfort? How will you ensure that the ABC of financial planning is covered? Where is a safe place to invest your money?
What is the best way to invest your money? Will you put up your own business? Buy real estate? Buy stocks? Buy bonds, mortgages, etc? Will you invest in mutual funds or UITFs? Do you have the skill and expertise required?
Are your kids finished or about to finish college? Don't you have much working years left and is insurance now more expensive due to age, health and other factors? Do you have some assets now? Do you have excess cash after expenses?
Thinking of where to invest your money and get rich is good after knowing what happens to the surviving spouse after the other dies. Joint bank accounts, shares and investment certificates are frozen, including mutual funds and UITFs. In the Philippines, the BIR allows only a maximum advance of P20,000 from bank deposits.
What can the surviving spouse do? Borrow money from children? Sell non-conjugal personal assets such as wristwatch, clothing, toothbrush, etc.? Borrow money from friends? Whatever he or she might try to do, the cruel and persistent pressure is on - to pay the estate tax as quickly as possible!
What investments do well during stagflation? Will you invest small amounts of money or are you looking where to invest 1 million dollars? Do you like liquid, transferable, profitable, flexible, safe, easy to manage investment with built-in protection?
Variable universal life (VUL) insurance is the right policy for you. It is a flexible investment and protection plan. This is life insurance with values directly linked to the investment performance of special funds managed by the company. You get all the investment rewards...
But assume all risks. It is not just planning where to invest your money and get rich. There are risks.
VUL works like a mutual fund but it is better because of the built-in protection. You decide on premium amount, then decide on premium's fund allocation. Funds are pooled, company manages the investment accounts.
Common funds are equity fund, bond fund and managed fund. Equity fund invests in stocks and shares with high rate of return for investments. This is good for those who want high capital growth - one reason why stocks are a good long term investment - with high risk tolerance.
Bond fund invests in government and corporate bonds or fixed income securities - good for those who want stable income and are risk averse. Managed fund invests in both equity and bond and is good for those who want moderate capital growth and capital preservation.
You see, VUL is a venue where to invest your money and get rich. Returns can be higher than 10% or more depending on the fund allocation, but there are certain risks. Your financial adviser will determine your level of risk tolerance. Then he will come up with the proposed fund allocation for you.
