If there is no claim up to this point, Mr Lim can look forward to an illustrated surrender value of $212,59111.
The above figures used are for illustrative purposes only and are rounded to the nearest dollar.
The non-guaranteed figures above are based on the assumption that the Life Participating Fund earns a long- term average return of 4.75% p.a.
Should the long-term average return be 3.25% p.a., the illustrated surrender value at age 85 would be $104,88712.
1 For Star Assure, the minimum protection value is 100%, 200%, 300%, 400% or 500% of the sum assured before the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 70, selected at the start of the policy and is applicable upon death, total and permanent disability or terminal illness. Advanced Assure Accelerator rider’s and Early Assure Accelerator rider’s minimum protection value will follow Star Assure’s minimum protection value.
2 Advanced Assure Accelerator is an accelerated whole life rider that provides coverage for dread diseases and a major impact benefit. We will not pay the dread disease benefit if the insured is diagnosed with the disease within 90 days after the cover start date for major cancer, heart attack of specified severity, coronary artery by-pass surgery, angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery or other serious coronary artery disease. For angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery, we will pay 10% of the sum assured under this rider, subject to a S$25,000 maximum sum payable (not including bonuses). The benefit for angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery will end once we make this payment. This will reduce the sum assured and any bonuses of this rider, its basic policy and other accelerated riders attached to its basic policy by the same amount that we pay under this rider.
Please refer to the policy contract for further details.
Cover start date refers to the date we issue the rider; or the date we issue an endorsement to include or increase a benefit; or the date we reinstate the rider (whichever is latest).
3 Early Assure Accelerator is an accelerated whole life rider that provides coverage for early and intermediate stage dread diseases. Any payment for an early or intermediate stage specified dread disease will reduce the sum assured and any bonuses of this rider, its basic policy and other accelerated riders attached to its basic policy by the same amount we pay under this rider. We will not pay this benefit if the insured suffered symptoms of, had investigations for, or was diagnosed with the disease at any time before or within 90 days from the cover start date for major cancer, heart attack of specified severity, other serious coronary artery disease, or coronary artery by-pass surgery. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.
If you succeed in claiming the early and intermediate stage dread disease benefit, the special benefit and juvenile benefit will end. You will stop making premium payments on the rider. The rider will continue to apply for the Advanced Restoration Benefit.
You will have to attach the Advanced Assure Accelerator rider to the basic policy if you would like to add the Early Assure Accelerator rider.
4 For Hospital CashAid, the premium will be based on the prevailing premium rates as of the insured’s age and sum assured at the anniversary. Anniversary means the last day of every 12 months from the entry date for the basic policy. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.
5We will not pay Hospital Cash Benefit, Additional Intensive Care Unit Benefit and Recovery Benefit where the insured stays in a hospital before or within 30 days from the cover start date (except for accidents).
6Recovery Benefit will only be paid once for the same stay in hospital as the Hospital Cash Benefit claim.
7You can only make a claim under the Advanced Restoration Benefit if you have previously succeeded in claiming the early and intermediate stage dread disease benefit and if your basic policy has not ended.
We will pay this benefit if the insured is diagnosed with any of the advanced stage dread diseases (stroke with permanent neurological deficit, major cancer, and heart attack of specified severity). Once we make payment under this benefit, the rider will end. We will not pay this benefit if the insured was diagnosed with the disease within 24 months after the date of diagnosis or surgical procedure, whichever applies, of any of the early or intermediate stage dread diseases. The insured must survive for at least seven days from the date of diagnosis, or after having the medical procedure, before we pay this benefit. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.
8 We will pay no more than $100,000 (not including bonuses) for each insured (no matter how many policies we have issued to cover each insured). The surgery or infection and the stay in the ICU must be directly due to the same cause and confirmed as necessary medical treatment. We will not pay this benefit if the insured suffered symptoms of, had investigations for, or was diagnosed with the illness any time before or within 90 days from the cover start date. Claim under the Major Impact Benefit will reduce the sum assured and any bonuses of this rider, its basic policy and other accelerated riders attached to its basic policy by the same amount that we pay under this rider. This benefit can only be claimed once. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.
9We will pay the Additional Intensive Care Unit Benefit in addition to Hospital Cash Benefit. But if we have paid the Hospital Cash Benefit, up to a maximum of 750 days for the same stay in a hospital, we will not pay Additional Intensive Care Unit Benefit any further.
10The surgery or infection and the stay in the ICU must be directly due to the same cause and confirmed as necessary medical treatment.
