Only a fool would say that "I can make money, without losing a cent."

As the stock market climate has not been very friendly lately, many of the investors are becoming risk-averse. A lot are seeking refuge on low risk but low return financial instruments. Even first time investors are afraid to test the waters and will wait until the market gets bullish before they take the plunge. Truly, global and local economic concerns have given investors a rough patch on their investments.

Given the financial pressures in the market today, can one still make money without the risk of losing?

Insular Life, the first and largest Filipino life insurance company, launches Dollar Wealth Advantage - an investment-linked insurance product that will provide Filipinos a secured way of investing while providing the potential for high returns.

Dollar Wealth Advantage eliminates the risk usually associated with playing the stock markets, especially for those risk-averse investors seeking options to improve returns from their hard-earned savings. This 8-year term product, if held until maturity, offers capital protection plus a minimum return or the return linked to a participation in the performance of developed equity markets, whichever is higher. On top of that, one is covered with insurance benefits amounting to 125% of the investment, an added financial security that only an insurance product can provide.

Make money without the risk of losing!

Thirty three educators and volunteers from Muntinlupa Itaas Elementary School (MIES), Tuloy sa Don Bosco and Insular Life participated in the recently held Adarna Storytelling Workshop. The workshop, conducted by Adarna storyteller Jay Menes, discussed basic storytelling techniques such as voice, facial expression and body movement. The participants were also coached in the actual storytelling process, from introducing the story to ending the storytelling session.

This is the second year that Insular Life hosted an Adarna storytelling workshop. Through the workshop and the participants, Insular Life aims to awaken children’s interest in storybooks, and consequently, make reading into their life-long habit.
