Minimum Investment Period (MIP)

Q:What is the Minimum Investment Period (MIP)?

A:

MIP refers to the period you have chosen to pay regular premiums and this cannot be changed once the policy has been issued.

You may choose to continue paying regular premiums after the MIP.

No Lapse Guarantee (NLG) Benefit

Q:What is the NLG benefit?

A:

During the minimum investment period, if the policy value is not enough to cover the fees and charges due on your policy, we will apply the NLG benefit and we will not end the policy. In other words, the policy will continue during this period.

When we apply the NLG benefit, you will still need to pay the fees and charges due on your policy and your unit deducting rider, if any. We will take these fees and charges from any policy value or claim proceeds that you may be receiving under your policy.

We will apply the NLG benefit only when:

- you pay all your regular premiums due before the end of the grace period; and

- you do not make any withdrawals (including any funds that declare distribution) more than the total top-up made.

Once we end the NLG benefit, we will not reinstate it.

If you increase the sum assured of your policy, this will result in:

- An increase in the sum assured of your unit deducting rider(s), if any; and

- An increase in your regular premiums.

The increased sum assured will be based on the increased premium and applicable sum assured multiple.

The cut-off time used to determine the pricing of units is 3.00 pm (Singapore time) on each business day (Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays).

Buying a life insurance policy is a long-term commitment and an early termination of the policy usually involves high costs and the surrender value may be less than the total premiums paid.

From the 2nd anniversary, if you still have not paid the premium after the grace period, this policy will enter into a premium holiday. During this premium holiday period, you can stop paying premium provided the policy value is able to cover the fees and charges that continue to be due on your policy.

From the 3rd anniversary, you can take a premium holiday without any premium holiday charge according to the minimum investment period shown in Table below. After which, we will apply the premium holiday charge if your policy continues to be on premium holiday during the minimum investment period.

You cannot make any top-ups during the premium holiday.

Any premium holiday will end once you start paying your regular premiums again.

If this policy ends because its policy value falls to zero or less (negative value), you can request to reinstate within 36 months by starting to pay the required regular premiums. This applies as long as you give us satisfactory proof of the insured’s good health and there is no change in the risks covered by this policy. Also, if the policy value has become negative, you may need to make a top-up in addition to the required regular premiums before we agree to reinstate your policy.
Q:Is there any insurance coverage provided during premium holiday?

A:

Yes, your insurance cover charge continues to apply during premium holiday hence your insurance coverage will be provided during premium holiday.

Before the 2nd anniversary during the minimum investment period, if you still have not paid the premium after the grace period, we will end this policy with no payout to you.

The formula for computation is as follows:

Withdrawal value = Number of units withdrawn from selected fund × Bid price of the selected fund

Partial withdrawal charge will apply for each partial withdrawal you make during the minimum investment period.

The policy fee applies throughout the policy term and we will take this policy fee from the policy value of your policy by cancelling units at the bid price.
Q:How much is the insurance cover charge?

A:

You must pay a monthly insurance cover charge.

We will work out the monthly insurance cover charge taking into consideration of the sum at risk, the Insured’s age, gender and whether they smoke at the time of application.

Premium holiday charge does not apply if the policy enters into a premium holiday after the minimum investment period.
