Recently POSB contacted me about this savings plan. What do u guys think? Is it good or is it really bad?

MyRegularPay

MyRegularPay is a 100% capital guaranteed1 savings plan that pays you annually from the end of the 2nd policy year onwards. It also gives you a guaranteed lump sum amount at maturity, to meet your savings goal.

This means that you have the opportunity to enjoy a small part of your savings every year – for shopping, holidays, or anything that you may fancy. At the same time you’ll also feel secure that you’re still accumulating a substantial lump sum of cash.

Key Benefits:

Enjoy annual Guaranteed Cash Benefits2 from the end of the 2nd policy year onwards. Each annual payment is 5% of the Sum Assured3 you’ve decided.

Get a lump sum amount plus potential bonuses4, at the end of the policy term.

100% capital guaranteed1 at maturity

Pay premiums for only 10 years

Choice of the policy term to achieve your savings goal: 15 years or 18 years

Don’t feel like taking that annual payout? No worries – just put it back into the policy for greater earnings!

Reinvest the Guaranteed Cash Benefits with a non-guaranteed interest rate of 3%p.a5.

For example
Pay 10 years, every year pay $7200, total premiums $72000, from end of second year till the final year, every year able to withdraw $2725 which is the guaranteed cash benefits payout. Upon maturity value, able to get guaranteed $38150 with $4223 projected at 3.25% investment return.


Total premiums paid over 10 years= $72000

Guaranteed cash benefits payout rom end of 2nd year till maturity = $35425

Guaranteed at maturity= $38150

Non guaranteed at 3.25% investment returns = $4223
Non guaranteed at 4.75% investment returns = $14127

Is it worth it? Need advice..thanks much!

Are you an insurance agent?


Nope. I'm not.

In fact im comparing this to my limited pay life insurance plan.

The limited pay life insurance plan seems more worth it since there's insurance coverage with it. N able to get back the money upon surrender value, just that this would take 20 years.

Aviva savings plan: higher premiums $7200 a year, pay 10 years, maturity at 15 years, get back money, almost zero insurance coverage, liquidity from end of 2nd year onwards

Limited pay life insurance plan: Lower premiums $2200 a year, pay 15 years, maturity at 100 years but able to get back(break even) at 20th year, have death tpd ci coverage, no liquidity.

Or is there anything i overlooked?

Cannot compare, because this one is not a Life Insurance but Endowment

I believe the $7200 per year is just an example...

Yes. Its an example.

So the aviva myregularpay is endowment plan? So what does it do?

It looks kinda similar to the life insurance, no?

Both pay premium for a number of years. Then get back the money after number of years. Just that life insurance provides insurance coverage n endowment plan doesn't. Isn't it?

Endowments are like savings plans, you put your money inside and earn the non-guaranteed portion

Endowments also have some form of protection (insurance) inside, but the portion differs from plan to plan.

Whole life is basically, life insurance. Its about protection, not savings.

For life insurance, if i do not want to continue to be insured at say 60 years old cuz my children are already grown, and i decided to surrender, i get back all the money that i paid for premiums plus some earnings.

So isnt a life insurance better than endowment plan?

Do correct me if my way of thinking is wrong.. :)

Total premiums paid over 10 years= $72000

Guaranteed cash benefits payout from end of 2nd year till maturity = $35425

Guaranteed at maturity= $38150

$35425+ $38150= $73575

Its about $1575 more. Of cuz i havent added in non guaranteed portion of $4223 at 3.25% investment return. But what are the chances of getting the non guaranteed portion?

In conclusion, is this Myregularpay worth it?
