Hi sofiawotson, term life insurance do not accumulate cash value and are cheaper compare to permanent or whole life. they cover u for a limited number of years.

whole life or permanent life (in ur case) on the other hand accumulate cash value and usually covers u until ur death, you can surrender the policy after the 3rd year (usually) for cash but its guaranteed to be less than 10% of what you paid for so far. Usually a person will treat it as a retirement savings and surrender the policy at the age of 60+. As for which insurer is the best, i've pm u the link to choose, judge for urself

Term:
cover a certain period (eg:20 years, 30 years or till 65 years)
pure insurance, cheap premium higher sum assure, without cash value. after the Term, policy expire, nothing left.

whole life:
cover for whole life till die
same sum assure premium much higher than term policy , have cash value. policy no expire date, surrender can get some money back.

In Singapore All insurance company is ok. they are all under MAS controll.

a) Term insurance is a policy that is valid for a relatively shorter period of time. In this policy, the insurance amount is only paid on the death of the policyholder (insured). In case the policyholder does not die during the policy term, the insurance amount is not carried over.

B). A permanent life insurance policy is a cover that lasts for as long as the policyholder lives. Along with insurance, this policy also provides a savings element that builds cash value. The premium for whole life insurance policies remains the same and is higher than term life insurance.

For my short protection need purpose, I've taken a Zurich term life insurance plan which is tailored to meet the changing protection needs!

Term Life as the name states covers you for your selected term. It can be for 5, 10 20 even till you are age 99. Term plans are relatively cheaper than whole life plans because they don't take on as much risk as life plans and don't accumulate cash values. The sum assured remains the same since inception

Life Plans covers you for life, thus costing you more. You may not be sick or disabled, but surely you will die and surely insurer must pay. Usually such a plan participate with company earnings in a way to beat inflation over the years and also create a surrender value (to entice you to surrender). You die, insurer pays more.

Different companies have different products and pricing. The contractual part in the contract also differs from one company to another. Currently, a good insurer with good life contract (with early CI) and best sum assured per dollar is Tokio Marine. No other insurer dare share otherwise.

Bro most whole life plan hardly ever beat inflation which is roughly 4.5% in the current environment

No way to vote you down Whole life plan does not need to beat inflation, it is to make sure your premiums are still reasonable to service your SUM ASSURED at later stages of life > front loading kind of.
