Overview of our Investment-linked sub funds

An investment-linked sub fund pools together the premiums paid by policyholders and invests in a portfolio of assets to achieve the fund's objective.

Depending on the fund's investment objective, the fund manager may invest in appropriate asset classes, including equities, bonds, money market instruments, property securities etc. Investment-linked funds can be tailored to suit your financial goals and risk profile, be it low, medium or high risk. If your financial situation and risk profile change over time, you can move your money by switching funds.

Furthermore, investment-linked sub funds allow you to access different portfolios to diversify your investments. This prevents you from putting all your eggs in one basket.

Over the long term, investment-linked sub funds may yield potentially higher returns as compared to other life insurance policies such as traditional whole life and endowment plans.
