Dear Mr Tan,
What is the meaning of effect of deduction? Does it apply for both unit trust and ILP?
Based on $2,400/yr, if I invest in unit trust, assume 9% annualised gain for 25 yr period, I’ll get back $203,282.
If I invest in Ideal plan, assume 9% annualised gain for 25yr period, I’ll get back only $168,100.
The income bid-offer spread is lower at 3.5% and yet the effect of deduction is about $44,990 compared to unit trust effect of deduction of $11,200.
I’m just a layman doing the calculations. I may be wrong in my comparison.

Dear J,
For the Ideal plan, the effect of deduction include the following:
* advisory fee of 15% for 3 years
* spread of 3.5% on each payment
* annual management fee of about 1%
In the case of the unit trust, you have to calculate the annual charge, trailer fee and other charges (which is more than 1% per annum) to get the comparable figure.
For example, if the unit trust has a spread of 5% and deduct 2% p.a (in annual and trailer fee), you will only get $149,250 by investing $2,400 a year for 25 years (assuming the gross yield is 9% p.a.). This is much lower than $203,282.
