Aviva's MyShield

Aviva's Myshield is a hospitalisation and surgical insurance plan that helps to insure against medical costs.

It is a Medisave Approved Integrated Plan which is an Enhancement plan on top of the basic Medishield plan operated by the CPF board. Medishield forms the basic tier of insurance whilst MyShield serves as the enhancement to Medishield.

One unique feature of the the Myshield plan is that when both parents are covered under the plan, their children (up to age 20) will be automatically covered too for FREE.

With the MyShield Plus rider, one will also be covered for the co-insurance portion. There are no riders available for the deductible portion.

To be eligible for the plan, the person must be a Singapore Citizen or Singapore PR; age 75 years below based on next birthday; and must have a CPF Medisave Account from which to pay for the premiums of the policy.

One of the strong points of this plan is its affordability especially for families because of the free coverage for children as well as the "As Charged" limits for the various claims.

Manulife's Life Protector Plus

Manulife has a participating whole life policy called Life Protector Plus that is designed to provide high coverage at affordable premiums. For a male non-smoker age 27, coverage of $240K can be obtained at a monthly premium of $194. How it provides such a high coverage is with something called the Minimum Death Benefit (MDB) factor that depends on the entry age of the policy holder. Each band of entry age has a different MDB factor. Age 0 to 30 = 2.4 Age 31 to 35 = 2.15 Age 36 to 40 = 1.90 Age 41 to 45 = 1.65 Age 46 to 50 = 1.40 Age 51 to 55 = 1.20 So the basic sum insured for a guy age 27 is actually 100K but due to the MDB factor of 2.4, his coverage is increased till $240K until he is age 65. Thereafter, the MDB factor drops to 1.0 Do note that with any surrender of reversionary bonus or coversion of policy to reduce paid up, the MDB factor will drop to 1.0 This MDB factor also applies to the Critical Care Enhancer Rider (for critcial illness) up to age 65 too.

PruWealth Endowment Plan

As stated in its benefit illustration, PruWealth is a participating regular premium endowment insurance plan.  Unlike other endowment plans, PruWealth is meant to be long term wealth accumulator that matures only when the life assured turns 100 years old.  That means the plan does not mature in your typical 20 to 30 years that is common in other endowment plans.  Of course, that depends too on the age you are when you purchased the plan. Some interesting features of this endowment plan are as follows: There are various options of premium paying terms ranging from 5 years, 10 years, or 20 years. This basically means it is a limited pay plan where you just need to pay regular premiums for a certain number of years and can stop paying thereafter. Death benefit will always be higher than the amount of premiums put in.  This is typical of any endowment plan so I won't elaborate any further.  Surrender value comprises both guaranteed and non-guaranteed component...
