Dear Mr Tan,
I like to get your advice on this investment product: a single premium investment linked plan with annual payout of up to 4% over a 5 year term and return of 100% of the principal invested at maturity. Also get additional life insurance coverage of up to 110% of the amount of investment.
It invests into a Collateralised Debt Obligation (CDO) tranche of corporate credits with credit rating of AA by S&P's. Min. single premium of $5K.
MY REPLY:
Are you sure that the return on maturity is guaranteed? Who provides the guarantee?
Usually, when the issuer states that the money is invested in a certain class of assets, there is a statement that, in the event of default of the assets, the investor has to suffer a loss. You should check this point carefully.
Collateralised debt obligation are a risky class of asset now, even if they are rated as AA. Some of these assets have depreciated in value.
