It's an investment-linked life insurance plan that offers you an easy and seamless way to apply for insurance with no medical exam. It also provides the combined benefit of lifetime insurance protection and investment growth over time. You pay premiums for five or 10 years, but your coverage continues for life (up to age 100). Part of your premiums are also invested in fund options you choose, and you earn special bonuses along the way.
2. What does fund value mean?
Fund value refers to the savings or funds you have built through the investment component of your plan. As it grows over time, it can help support emergencies or important goals like home or business improvements, passion project, education/retirement planning, or other financial goals.
3. How much life insurance coverage do I get?
Your initial life insurance coverage is at least 5 times your yearly premium. As your fund value grows, your death benefit (at least 5 times the yearly premium or 105% of the fund value, whichever is higher) may also increase. Coverage is guaranteed until age 100, as long as your policy remains active. However, if your policy is issued under the Guaranteed Insurability Offer and you, the insured, passes away within the first 2 years of the policy, you will receive back the fund value plus charges. Should you pass away due to accident, full death benefits will be paid.
