“Staying covered means you can focus on life, not bills.”

You’ve worked hard to build your retirement. But medical curveballs can drain your savings or affect your family. The right plans help protect what you’ve built, so you can live with confidence and independence.


Is my hospitalisation coverage enough?

Hospital bills can add up, especially if you prefer private or A/B1 ward care. MediShield Life gives basic coverage, but it may not cover all hospital costs or specialist fees.

An Integrated Shield Plan (IP) like Enhanced IncomeShield helps with higher-class wards and pre- and post-hospitalisation1 costs. You can use MediSave to pay for premiums, up to the Additional Withdrawal Limits2. It’s worth reviewing your plan regularly to make sure if still matches your preferred ward and budget.

Can I afford care if a critical illness strikes?

Recovering from cancer, stroke or any chronic illness isn’t just about hospital bills. You may need time off work or help at home, and these costs are often not covered by your hospitalisation plan.

That’s why many choose to add a critical illness plan. It pays you a lump sum when you’re diagnosed. This payout could help replace lost income, pay for treatments not covered by hospitalisation plans or support your family’s daily expenses while you recover.

A plan like Complete Cancer Care focuses on cancer and supports you from diagnosis to remission with monthly payouts3 and premium waivers4, so you can focus on healing instead of worrying about additional financial stress.

If you’re exploring critical illness plans, check what conditions are covered, how long support lasts, and whether premiums are waived.


Could an accident set me back?

Even if you’re healthy, slips or trips can happen. These may lead to outpatient treatments like physiotherapy or doctor’s visits, which may not be claimable under MediShield Life or IPs.

A personal accident plan like SilverCare Insurance may offer financial support for outpatient treatments and recovery-related expenses. When exploring personal accident plans, consider benefits that support recovery and independence like coverage for mobility aids, daily hospital cash, and protection against common infectious diseases such as Shingles, Hand Food Mouth Disease (HFMD) or Dengue fever.


Protect my wealth and legacy

Keeping your retirement plans and loved ones supported

"Taking steps today helps protect your plans and the people you care about tomorrow."

Retirement is a time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work and explore new possibilities. But unexpected events like health issues or financial setbacks can disrupt your plans. Planning ahead helps you stay financially prepared for life’s uncertainties, from medical costs to supporting loved ones.

Safeguarding your retirement and supporting your loved ones

Life insurance helps protect your retirement savings and support your loved ones financially when the unexpected happens.

Term life plans, such as TermLife Solitaire offer protection during the policy term, helping you safeguard financial commitments like home loan (mortgage) or family support. 

retirement-legacy-planning-singapore

Whole life plans, like Complete Life Secure offer lifelong protection and build cash value over time. With Flexi Cash Access5, you can receive annual payouts from age 50 to support retirement and leave a legacy for loved ones.

FeatureTerm life insuranceWhole life insurance
Coverage periodFixed term (e.g., 10-30 years)Lifetime
PurposeProtection onlyProtection + builds policy value
PremiumsStart lower but may increase with age upon renewalUsually start higher
Cash valueNo cash valueBuilds cash value that can be used to supplement retirement years


The plan that fits best depends on affordability, your preferred coverage period, whether you prefer pure protection or cash accumulation, and how it fits with your retirement and legacy goals.


Managing care costs without burdening loved ones

Government coverage like ElderShield and CareShield Life provide a baseline for long-term care, offering monthly payouts if you’re unable to perform 3 or more activities of daily living (ADLs). 

Care Secure Pro complements national schemes by offering monthly payouts6 starting from mild disability6,7 (1 ADL), along with caregiver8 and dependent benefits9, and a tiered support benefit10 from 2 ADLs onwards. This supplement helps manage care costs, easing potential financial strain on your family and helping to protect your retirement savings.

When considering a supplement to ElderShield or CareShield Life, think about how early you want coverage to begin, the level of monthly support you may need, and whether additional benefits like recovery or dependent support are important to you. These factors can help guide your choice of long-term care coverage that supports your care needs and helps ease future responsibilities for your loved ones.  


Plan my retirement

Feel confident about the golden years ahead

"Retirement is best when it’s planned around your life, not just your savings."

Retirement can feel like a big unknown. You want to stay independent, keep your lifestyle, and make sure your money lasts. Planning early helps you enjoy your future with greater confidence.

Savings plans for steady security

If you prefer predictability, insurance savings plans offer structure payouts and protection. They can help you meet retirement goals, fund big purchases, or pursue experiences you’ve always wanted. 

Plans like Gro Cash Plus provide regular cash payouts11, potential bonuses, and capital guaranteed12 from the end of the third policy year. You can choose to receive your payouts to spend it or accumulate them with Income Insurance at a non-guaranteed interest rate for potentially higher returns, helping you grow your savings and build more for the future. It’s ideal if you value stability and want a steady stream of income. 

retirement-financial-planning-discussion-singapore

To give you more flexibility in choosing when your payouts begin, consider options like Gro Retire Flex Pro II, an insurance savings plan that lets you choose when your monthly cash payouts13 begin, and adjust your choice up to 5 years14,15 earlier or later, depending on your retirement plans. Before committing, consider whether the premium and payout schedule suits your lifestyle and long-term goals.

Use our Savings Calculator to estimate how much to set aside for your retirement journey.


Invest for the future you want

You may be wondering, “Will I have enough to support myself?” The last thing you want is to rely on your children. That’s why some choose to invest regularly in a diversified portfolio to grow their retirement income over time.

Investment-linked plans (ILPs) combine protection coverage with investment. Your premiums are used to buy units in professionally managed funds. Plans like Invest Flex Vantage let you tailor your investment to suit your lifestyle and preferences, with the flexibility to top up your investments, make partial withdrawals when a specified life event occurs, or take a premium holiday16 when needed. Returns aren’t guaranteed, so consider how long you plan to stay invested, and whether you’re comfortable with market changes.

Some combine ILPs and insurance savings plans to balance stability and growth, building multiple income streams that support both lifestyle and future needs. 

A retirement plan isn’t just about numbers. It’s about having the freedom to live life on your terms. Speak with an Income Insurance adviser to explore options that support your goals and values.

Protect my lifestyle

Safeguard your way of life in your golden years

"Even minor disruptions can throw off your routine or strain your budget. Planning ahead helps you stay resilient and in control."

A burst pipe, a helper’s injury, or a minor car accident can quietly add up, affecting both your finances and daily routine. Knowing how protection works can help you handle unexpected events smoothly. 

Is fire insurance enough to protect my home?

In your golden years, your home is more than a roof, it’s a place of comfort and security filled with memories. But protecting what matters means knowing what your insurance covers. 

Fire insurance required for HDB loans only protects the building structure, fixtures, and fittings. It doesn’t cover your renovations, home contents or burst pipes. Home insurance such as Enhanced Home Insurance can help fill these gaps. It covers:

  • Repairs for fire17, theft18, or burst pipes19
  • Renovations20 and home contents21
  • 24/7 Emergency Home Assistance22
  • Liability covered if fire spreads to neighbours’ homes

When reviewing coverage, think about your home type, the value of your renovations, and whether you want protection for accidents involving guests or helpers.

Safeguarding those who support my household

Your helper plays an important role in keeping your home running smoothly. If she falls ill or gets injured, it can disrupt daily routines and lead to unexpected costs.  

Domestic Helper Insurance offers practical support:

  • Preferential rates23 for medical consultations and health screenings through MediPass app24 
  • Enjoy hassle-free hospital admission with no upfront deposit required, through a Letter of Guarantee (LOG)25 that enables direct billing. We will also pay for your helper’s hospitalisation expenses directly to the hospital on your behalf
  • Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions26
  • Up to $80,000 personal accident coverage27

Not all helper insurance plans offer the same level of protection. When comparing options, look for added benefits like wage compensation, special grants, and support if employment ends due to serious illness or injury. 


Driving without worry

Your car keeps you moving for errands, family visits, and staying socially connected. Accidents or breakdowns can disrupt these routines. 

Drivo Car Insurance offers:

  • Accident response from Orange Force
  • Unlimited windscreen cover28 for peace of mind
  • Personal accident benefit and medical expenses coverage in the event of accident
  • 24/7 referral services hotline for road and medical assistance in in West Malaysia29

When choosing a plan, consider your driving habits, preferred workshops, and travel needs.

We do not cover pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation treatment if, under the policy, we do not pay for the inpatient hospital treatment received during the stay in the hospital. Post-hospitalisation treatment, such as medication bought during a period of post-hospitalisation treatment but not used during that period, is not covered.

11If the insured survives at the end of the premium term, and if all premiums for this policy have been paid for, Income Insurance will start paying the cash benefit at the end of the premium term. Income Insurance may pay a cash bonus on top of each cash benefit by applying a bonus rate to the sum assured. Income Insurance may or may not pay this cash bonus for each policy year. The percentage of the sum assured for the yearly cash benefit is dependent on the policy entry age of the original insured. If the sum assured of the policy is at least $80,000, you can choose to receive the yearly cash payouts in monthly payments.

If the policyholder choose to cash in this policy partially, the sum assured after the partial cash payout cannot be less than the minimum sum assured limit or any other amount Income Insurance may tell the policyholder about. Income Insurance will use the new sum assured and reduced regular premium amount, excluding premiums paid on riders, to work out the guaranteed cash value (if any) from the policy entry date.

13The cash payout consists of a monthly cash benefit and a non-guaranteed cash bonus.

14The policyholder may choose to shorten or extend the accumulation period, by up to 5 years, in multiples of 1 year. The request to exercise this option must be made on a date:

The premium holiday charge may be payable during the premium holiday if it is within the MIP. From the 5th policy anniversary, the policyholder can take a premium holiday without any premium holiday charge up to the specified period, according to the MIP selected.
