Insurance products as an asset class have always attracted me.This is because I am always on the lookout for investments where the downside risk is nil or minimum and the upside gain is disproportionally higher i.e a sensible asymmetric risk return scenario.I wrote about such investments in this post:Link.
Now insurance products will never give you the returns you can get from businesses, but on the other hand,not all insurance products are such losers as many financial planners,mutual fund agents and stock brokers claim.As far as returns from retail investment products go,returns from good insurance products are at the upper end of the spectrum.
Insurance products have a mixture of financial calculations and legal implications,just like options writing, which makes them interesting.So you can use them creatively to build wealth without unduly increasing risk.And meanwhile you can enjoy free insurance covers.Nothing like free options to make a bargain minded person ecstatic!

This post is long overdue.In fact its pending since last August. This shows how making excuses once, just makes making excuses again so much easier and the tomorrows never come.My apologies to sharechair.
Here is the oldest reference to the rules of this award:Link .Today this award is mostly awarded to blogs with small readerships,200 subscribers or less, to help grow their readerships.Personally I will focus on finance blogs,simply because I think they are quite niche and not as popular as they could be with a general readership.And I will not be sticking to exact subscriber numbers, but pick blogs I believe should be more popular given the quality of their content.
To start with here are my answers to sharechair’s questions:
1.What is your favorite type of book to read? Historical romances on the one hand and business and finance,especially the biographies of industrialists on the other. Read more of this post
