    Child's first insurance policy

    I think I'm starting to see your point now :) Do you mind sharing the caveats when it comes to ILP, beside the non-guaranteed? And when selecting ILP, do you also considered the establishment of the insurance company? But giants companies come and go now, I'm not sure what to look out for now.
