Life is unpredictable. No matter how well you plan, you cannot foresee the future. That in itself is the beauty of life. Life brings with it a lot of good things, like family, loved ones, moments you never want to forget and relive constantly. But all good things come to an end, and sometimes abruptly and prematurely. While nothing can ever replace your presence, life insurance can and will at least ensure financial protection and stability in the short run. It helps people cope better with tragedy, and honor the memory of their loved ones, instead of wondering how they will pay for thei..

Can I buy life insurance as an investment?

Let’s be clear, LIFE INSURANCE is not an Investment!

As a financial advisor based in Dubai, I fully believe that Life Insurance is a particularly important component of anyone’s Financial Plan, however it is not an investment product, and should never be considered one. When you buy Life Insurance, you are purchasing protection for your family against unforeseen incidents that can adversely impact their financial well-being. Thus, life insurance is a risk mitigation strategy for the financial uncertainty of your family and your assets. Henc..

Everything You Need To Know About Investing In Gold

Gold is considered as an integral part of one’s portfolio since ages. As an asset, there is a prestige factor attached to owning gold. However, I am not sure the yellow metal is worth the euphoria around it. Even veteran investor, George Soros has something to say on these lines.

In early August, 2020, gold touched a record high of $2,061.5 amid fears of economic uncertainty induced by the COVID-19 pandemi..
