Can see pru quite aggressive with their portfolio according to the asset allocation from the blog.

Anyway someone mentioned the key point, what are the declared bonus when the market is not good? Is the smoothing really working?

Around the same. 2012 or 2011 they even declare addtional bonus.

I think they smoothen the return, last 3 years my bonus much lesser than par fund return. :(

Your policy projection is based on 4.75 or 5.25? Anyway for those with projection of 4.75< will the insurer still honour the returns capped at that level?

Din do exact calculation, but the actual one is somewhere between these 2 values.

Gxgx, at least still higher than the current capped level. But I guess good intervention by MAS since endowments are meant to be low risk products.

Doubt so, is the same par funds they're using. On top of that, the SA usually is lower for endowments plan, so the contribution to the par funds for return would be higher.

Most the PAR returns in 2015 are quite bad, considering SG & world economy are not ok.

Think 2016 will be worst off compared with 2015, in general.

Firstly, it is fear mongering towards clients so that they will buy their products.
