Despite the tendency to think that most of the managers’ policies on the market have the aforementioned advantages, the reality is the opposite and in most cases none of these advantages exist.

  • Their coverage can be customized in the managers’ insurance, without being subject to the regulations, unlike the pension fund.
  • The insurance companies allow the member to make a guaranteed annuity factor in this product, over the age of 60 even today.
