The information and descriptions contained in this material are provided solely for general informational purposes and do not constitute any financial advice. It does not have regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any persons. The precise terms, conditions and exclusions of these plans are specified in their respective policy contract.

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Past performance, as well as the prediction, projection or forecast on the economy, securities markets or the economic trends of the markets are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the ILP sub-fund. The performance of the ILP sub-fund is not guaranteed and the value of the units in the ILP sub-fund and the income accruing to the units, if any, may fall or rise. A product summary and product highlights sheet(s) relating to the ILP sub-fund are available and can be obtained from your insurance advisor or online at www.income.com.sg/funds. A potential investor should read the product summary and product highlights sheet(s) before deciding whether to subscribe for units in the ILP sub-fund.

All our products are developed to benefit our customers but not all may be suitable for your specific needs. If you are unsure if this plan is suitable for you, we strongly encourage you to speak to a qualified insurance advisor. Otherwise, you may end up buying a plan that does not meet your expectations or needs. As a result, you may not be able to afford the premiums or get the insurance protection you want. Buying a life insurance plan is a long-term commitment on your part. If you cancel your plan prematurely, the cash value you receive (if applicable) may be zero or less than the premiums you have paid for the plan. If you find that this plan is not suitable after purchasing it, you may terminate it within the free-look period, and obtain a refund of premiums paid. We may recover from you any expense incurred in underwriting this plan (subject to the respective products’ terms and conditions). For ILP, the refund amount is based on the market value of your selected funds and this could mean that you get back less than the original investment.

These policies are protected under the Policy Owners’ Protection Scheme which is administered by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC). Coverage for your policy is automatic and no further action is required from you. For more information on the types of benefits that are covered under the scheme as well as the limits of coverage, where applicable, please contact Income or visit the GIA/LIA or SDIC web-sites (www.gia.org.sg or www.lia.org.sg or www.sdic.org.sg).

ft1 Gro Saver Flex Pro pays 105% of all net premium(s) paid or 101% of the cash value, whichever is higher in the event of the insured’s death or terminal illness. Net premium(s) means the regular or single premium amount as shown in the policy schedule, or the reduced regular or single premium amount if a part of this policy has been cashed in earlier. If you change the frequency of your regular premium amount, we will use the then current regular premium amount to work out all net premium(s) paid. Net premium(s) do not include the premiums paid on riders.

ft2 Capital guarantee on Gro Saver Flex Pro excludes any optional rider(s), on the condition all premiums are paid, and that the policy is held until maturity date with no policy alterations or claims made during the entire policy term. This only applies to single premium and regular premium policies paid yearly.

ft3 If the insured survives at the end of two years from the policy entry date and premiums for this policy have been paid for at least two years, you will start to receive cash payouts after the end of the 2nd policy year. The cash payout consists of a yearly cash benefit, which is 3% of your sum assured, and a non-guaranteed cash bonus, which is up to 5.40% of your sum assured (based on a 5 year premium term for a policy term till age 120 and the assumption that the Life Participating Fund earns a long-term average return of 4.25% per annum). The non-guaranteed yearly cash bonus is dependent on the premium term and policy term, and may vary according to the future performance of the Life Participating Fund. If the Life Participating Fund earns a long-term average return of 3.00% per annum, the non-guaranteed cash bonus will be up to 2.97% of the sum assured (based on a 5 year premium term for a policy term till age 120). The policyholder will receive the final yearly cash benefit and cash bonus as a lump-sum with the maturity benefit if the insured is still alive and the policy has not ended. The policy will end once this payment is made.

If the sum assured of the policy is at least $80,000, the yearly cash payouts can be received in monthly payments. The amount of each monthly cash benefit payment will be worked out. The policyholder cannot change the payout frequency once the first cash benefit is paid.

ft4 Capital guarantee on Gro Cash Flex Pro excludes any optional rider(s), on the condition all premiums are paid, and that the policy is held until maturity date with no policy alterations or claims made during the entire policy term.

ft5 Only yourself (policyholder before  the  age  of  65  years  old),  your  spouse  (before  the  age  of  65  years  old),  or  your  child  or  ward (before  the  age  of  18  years  old)  can  be  the  secondary  insured  at  the  time  of  exercising  this  option. You can exercise  this  option to appoint a secondary insured no more than three times, and provided the following conditions are met:

- The premium of this policy is paid only with cash;

- No nomination of beneficiary has been made for this policy; and

- There is no change to the ownership of this policy including assignment, bankruptcy and trust.

ft6 For regular premium policy, Gro Retire Flex Pro includes Gro Retire Flex Pro – Protection Benefit, a non-participating rider, which includes the Accidental Death Benefit, Disability Care Benefit and Retrenchment Benefit. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.

ft7 If the insured dies as a result of an accident (before the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 70), we will pay an additional 105% of all net premium(s) paid, on top of the death benefit, as long as the insured was not taking part in a restricted activity at the time of the accident. If the insured was taking part in a restricted activity at the time of the accident, we will only pay an additional 63% of all net premium(s) paid, on top of the death benefit. We will pay this benefit only if the death happens within 365 days of the accident. Please refer to the policy contract for further details.

If you have appointed a secondary insured before the insured dies as a result of an accident (before the anniversary immediately after insured reaches the age of 70), we will not pay this benefit. Upon the accidental death of the insured, the secondary insured becomes the insured and the basic policy and its rider, Gro Retire Flex Pro – Protection Benefit, will continue.

ft8 Disability Care Benefit will apply upon diagnosis of the insured with any one of the conditions – loss of use of one limb, loss of speech, loss of sight of one eye and loss of hearing, arising from accidental injury or sickness during the term of the Gro Retire Flex Pro – Protection Benefit rider. The benefit will be paid according to the date of diagnosis. There are certain conditions under which no benefits will be payable. Please refer to the policy contract for the definition of each condition and the circumstances in which a claim can be made.

ft9 During the term of this policy, if the insured becomes terminally ill or dies, before the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 85, 100% of sum assured and 100% of bonuses or minimum protection value of the basic policy, whichever is higher will be paid. The minimum protection value of the basic policy depends on the age of the insured at policy entry date (age last birthday), and it is up to 320% of the sum assured. Minimum protection value means a percentage of the sum assured shown in the policy schedule. If the insured becomes terminally ill or dies, on or after the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 85, 100% of sum assured and 100% of bonuses will be paid. Bonus rates are not guaranteed and will vary according to the future performance of the Life Participating Fund.

ft10 Provenance Solitaire includes a non-participating compulsory rider, Provenance Solitaire – Protection Benefit. This rider pays part of the minimum protection value. Please refer to the policy conditions for further details.

ft11 Guaranteed cash value of 80% of your single premium. Single premium refers to the premium amount before any additional premiums charged due to medical conditions.

ft12 If the insured survives at the end of 3 years from the policy entry date, you will start to receive cash payouts starting from the 37th policy month after the policy entry date. The monthly cash payout consists of the guaranteed monthly cash benefit and the non-guaranteed monthly cash bonus. The guaranteed monthly cash benefit is 0.109% of the net single premium, while your non-guaranteed monthly cash bonus is up to 0.2035% of your net single premium (based on the assumption that the Life Participating Fund earns a long-term average return of 4.25% per annum). Over 12 months, you would receive 1.308% of the net single premium as guaranteed cash benefit and up to 2.40% of the net single premium as non-guaranteed cash bonus. The non-guaranteed monthly cash bonus may vary according to the future performance of the Life Participating Fund. If the Life Participating Fund earns a long-term average return of 3.00% per annum, the non-guaranteed monthly cash bonus will be up to 0.104% of the net single premium. You will continue to receive your monthly cash payout at subsequent policy months if the insured is still alive and the policy has not ended. Net single premium means the single premium amount as shown in the policy schedule, or the reduced single premium amount if a part of the policy has been cashed in earlier.

ft13 Only yourself (policyholder before the age of 65 years old), your spouse (before the age of 65 years old), or your child or ward (before the age of 18 years old) can be the secondary insured at the time of exercising this option. You can exercise this option to appoint a secondary insured no more than three times, and provided the following conditions are met:

- The premium of this policy is paid only with cash;

- No nomination of beneficiary has been made for this policy; and

- There is no change to the ownership of this policy including assignment, bankruptcy and trust.

The secondary insured becomes the insured of this policy upon death of the insured for the remaining policy term. The policy can only have one insured at any point of time.

ft14 The original insured means the insured that was appointed when the policy was issued.

ft15 Sum assured multiple means the factor we use to work out your sum assured for your basic policy, or for a specific rider that you attach to your basic policy, based on your regular premium when we issue the policy. The sum assured multiple cannot be changed unless the retirement option is exercised.

ft16 Each time the insured experiences a life event, you may choose to take up the Guaranteed insurability option, subject to the policy’s terms and conditions. Please refer to the policy conditions for further details on the life events and the applicable terms and conditions.

ft17 We reimburse you the eligible hospitalisation  cost  you  have  incurred,  subject  to  deductible,  co-insurance,  admission  of  ward  class,  benefit limits and any other policy terms (including exclusions).

ft18 Star Secure Pro includes a non-participating compulsory rider, Star Secure Pro – Protection Benefit. This rider pays accidental death benefit, Retrenchment Benefit, Family Waiver Benefit, and part of the minimum protection value. Please refer to the policy conditions for further details.

ft19 Minimum protection value means a percentage of the sum assured shown in the policy schedule. The minimum protection value is applicable before the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 75 or age of 80. The applicable age will be based on the option selected by you as shown in the policy schedule. You cannot change the minimum protection value and its applicable age which you chose at the start of the policy.

ft21 Guaranteed renewal is applicable only if there is no claim on your policy during the policy term and the insured is age 79 (last birthday) and below. We will renew your policy for the same sum assured and policy term. However, if the insured’s 84th birthday falls within the next policy term, we will only renew it for a shorter term (in multiples of 5 years) such that the renewal term will not exceed the insured’s 84th birthday. The renewal premium will be determined by Income and is based on the policy’s renewal term, sum assured and the age of the insured at the time the policy is renewed.

ft22 We will not pay this benefit if the insured was diagnosed with the dread disease within 90 days from the cover start date for major cancer, heart attack of specified severity, coronary artery bypass surgery, angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery or other serious coronary artery disease.

However, for angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery, we will pay 10% of the sum assured, subject to a maximum amount of $25,000. The benefit for angioplasty and other invasive treatment for coronary artery will end once we make this payment. The policy will continue with a reduced sum assured instead.

ft23 Underwriting will be based on the health declaration found in your proposal form or the medical questionnaires. However, if we deemed necessary after assessing the declaration, we may require the insured to go for specified medical tests.

ft24 If the insured becomes terminally ill or dies during the term of the policy, we will pay the sum assured. The policy will end when we make this payment.

ft25 We will renew your policy for the same policy term at its prevailing sum assured only if your policy has not ended as a result of a claim during its term and the insured is age 74 (last birthday) and below. However, if the original policy term is not a multiple of five years, or if the original policy term is a multiple of five years but the anniversary immediately after the insured’s 100th birthday falls within the next policy term, we will renew it for a shorter term that is a multiple of five years, as long as the minimum term is 10 years, such that the renewal term will neither go beyond the original policy term, nor the anniversary immediately after the insured’s 100th birthday. We will work out the renewal premium based on the policy’s renewal term, sum assured and the age of the insured at the time the policy is renewed.
