This summer some friends approached us representing A.L. Williams. This company appears to be organized comparably to Amway and other "part-time" companies. Their approach to insurance and investments was new to us ("Common Sense") and we have undertaken comparisons of companies for term insurance. The idea is that one should buy as pure a form of term insurance as possible and invest the difference one would have been spending on whole-life (or the even worse Universal life) insurance. The trick of course is to invest that difference rather than blow it. We intend to do just that. My question is that while A.L. Williams appears to have competitive insurance, has anyone had any experience (or rumors) about their investments? Since I've not followed investing much more than savings this is a new area for me. Can anyone give some good, reasonably safe approaches? Replies will be summarized to net.invest.
