FAQs
Should I buy life insurance? Who does it insure?

Life insurance is a good way to protect your cash flow against the sudden loss of a key person which can alter the future of your business if a robust continuity plan is not in place. We can also use it to fund buy-sell planning, as a form of an executive bonus, and to add an alternative asset class to your company’s portfolio.

How does policy value accumulate?

Policy charges and the interest crediting rate will impact the growth in your policy value. Face Amount Charges and Cost of Insurance are deducted monthly from the policy value with Face Amount Charges payable only in the first 10 policy years. The minimum guaranteed interest crediting rate for the plan is 2% per annum with potential for further upside.

Here’s an illustration:

What is the Quit Smoking Incentive?

Smokers can enjoy standard non-smoker policy charges for the first 3 years. With satisfactory evidence you have quit smoking for at least 12 consecutive months by the end of the third policy year, you will continue to enjoy this privilege until the end of the policy term

Is premium financing available?

Premium financing is available to provide additional liquidity for your company, the amount of the financing is subjected to the asset holding and liabilities of your company.
