Product Features and Benefits at a Glance

Premium and Policy Term

There are typically two types of policy term, renewable as well as level, in which both are convertible.

 

Renewable – 5 or 10 years

Choose a 5 or 10 years policy term. This is renewable near the end of the policy term and you will have the option to renew it for another 5 or 10 years term, without medical underwriting. This is useful should you be unsure of the length of coverage you want at this moment in time, as well as coming at a lower premium.

After 5 or 10 years should you want to continue the coverage (or for your child), you have the option to renew it. Premiums will then be calculated based on the new older age now.

 

Level and Convertible – from 11 years up to age 85

This option allows for flexible premium and coverage term of years, like 25 years, or 31 years, should you want your term insurance to cover specific liabilities like mortgage loan, or when your child turns 24 years old (boy after NS).

You can also choose up to a specific age, up to 85 years old.

The term insurance plans provide protection for:

• Death
• Total and Permanent Disability(TPD) and
• Terminal Illness (TI)

 

Currency Choices

Choose to pay the plan in SGD, USD, GBP, AUD

 

Guaranteed Insurability – Life Milestones Additional Insurance (GIO)

Upon reaching certain life milestones, needs change and will be different, choose to increase coverage (as life assured for yourself, or for your child), without medical underwriting:

• Marriage or divorce
• Parenthood (newborn or legally adopted child)
• Graduation (Tertiary education)
• New Home/ Property

 

Guaranteed Conversion Privilege

Choose to convert you/your child’s term assure ii into an endowment or whole life insurance plan.

 

Guaranteed Renewal Privilege

• Automatically be renewed at the end of the coverage term. This is guaranteed regardless of health condition. No check-ups nor medical questionnaire required.
• Premiums will re-calculated at the renewed age.
• What we like is that even after your original term coverage has ended, this is still applicable.

Supplementary Benefit Riders Available

Critical Illness (CI) Accelerator Rider

In the event of advance stage CI, the rider pays out the maximum sum assured.

For instance, the basic sum assured for the base plan of Term Assure II is $500, 000, with the Critical Illness (CI) Accelerator Rider having a coverage sum assured of $300, 000. In the event of diagnosis of advance stage CI occuring, $300, 000 will be paid out and the remaining sum assured of $200, 000 will be paid out in the event of death.

Another example, if both the CI Accelerator Rider and Death Sum assured is $300, 000, upon the diagnosis of advance stage CI or death, a payout of $300, 000 will be paid out by the insurer and the plan will be terminated thereafter.

 

Waiver of Premium Rider & (Enhanced) Payer Benefit Rider

In the event of diagnosis of Advance stage Critical Illnesses, Death and TPD (Total Permanent Disability), future recurring premiums that the payer will be paying will be waived off.

This is a very helpful feature for parents when paying the premiums for child’s protection. This is a 3^rd party waiver protection, can be helpful in situations like the following as well:

• Child paying for their aged parents
• Husband and/or wife paying premiums for their spouses

 

Early Critical Illness (ECI) Accelerator Rider

In the event of  Early to Intermediate to Advance Stage CI, as well as Special and Juvenile Conditions, receive a lump sum payout. This reduces the basic sum assured.

Maximum payout for early and intermediate CI is up to $350, 000. One of the highest in the market as some insurers are capping at $250, 000.

 

KidAssure GIO Rider

The KidAssure GIO Rider, as the name goes, is GIO. It is a guaranteed issued rider that protects against death, hospitalisation and juvenile/child-related illnesses. A good feature of this rider is that it matures when the child turns 19 years old, 80% of your premiums that were paid, will be refunded back to you, the payer.

 

Protect 1 Lite Rider

Tokio Marine’s Protect 1 Lite Rider is a unique rider that pays out every month for a period of 6 years in the event of inability to perform 1 out of 6 ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). Choose to receive a benefit ranging from $1, 000 to $10, 000.

• Wide range of useful and practical supplementary benefits for parents to enhance the coverage making it even more comprehensive:

• Protect 1 Lite pays out a monthly benefit from $1, 000 to $10, 000 in the event of partial disability. Only Tokio Marine has this feature in the market, worth a lookout.

• You are looking for a protection plan with limited premium payment term and whole life coverage.
