Secure Retirement Plus (S$)
Plan For A Secure Retirement Future

To enjoy a secure retirement, you need a comprehensive solution. One that will help you manage potential risks and help to ensure you have sufficient resources to last throughout your retirement.

Secure Retirement Plus (S$) is such a solution that can provide a predictable, sustainable and potentially increasing retirement income.


Secure Retirement Plus (S$) at a glance:
Predictable
Guarantees you will get back all of your subscription via regular withdrawals regardless of how the market performs.

Sustainable

Starting from the Life Insured turning 65 years old, you can elect to receive Income For Life.

Potential To Grow
Your Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit may increase via the Step-Up mechanism and the Loyalty Bonus.

Guarantees Your Retirement Income Irrespective Of Market Movements
Secure Retirement Plus (S$) can help to give you financial certainty for your retirement. By setting aside a lump sum towards the plan, you will enjoy a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (GWB), which initially will equal the subscription amount. This GWB, adjusted by any withdrawal, Step-Up or Loyalty Bonus, will be available for withdrawals in your retirement.

You can receive a percentage of the GWB as your Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (GWA) per annum. The GWA is 4% of the GWB. Secure Retirement Plus (S$) guarantees you will get back all of your subscription via regular withdrawals over 25 years regardless of how the market performs.

You will also participate in the potential return of the funds linked to this plan. Your subscription will be invested into any of the Secure Retirement Plus (SRP) Lifestyle Portfolios you select to provide an opportunity to potentially increase the account value as well as the GWB.

Guaranteed To Grow with Loyalty Bonus - Even If The Market Doesn't
Receive a Loyalty Bonus of up to 50% of your total subscription
With Secure Retirement Plus (S$), your GWB will have the opportunity to increase. If you do not make any withdrawal during the first 5 policy years, your GWB will be revised from 100% to 125% of the total subscription as Loyalty Bonus at the end of the 5th policy anniversary. From policy years 6 to 10, an extra 5% of the GWB will be added at the end of each policy year to the GWB as Loyalty Bonus if no withdrawal is made during those years.

However, if any withdrawal is made in a particular year in the first 10 policy years, the Loyalty Bonus for that year and all future Loyalty Bonus of all the years thereafter will be forfeited.

It pays to wait: A total Loyalty Bonus of up to 50% of your total subscription can significantly increase your Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit

For illustrative purposes only. A S$100,000 subscription will provide guaranteed withdrawal of S$4,000 for 25 years. If no withdrawal is taken during the first 5 years, a 25% Loyalty Bonus will be added to the GWB at the end of year 5 and your GWA will increase to S$5,000. Thereafter, if you make no withdrawal, at the end of year 10, your GWA will increase S$6,000.

An Automatic Step-Up
To Capture Potential Increases of Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit
The GWB can also be enhanced based on the performance of the underlying investments through the Step-Up mechanism. On every 5th policy anniversary up to age 80 of the Life Insured, your GWB will be automatically stepped up to the current account value if the market value of your portfolio has risen and is higher than your GWB at that time.

With the stepped-up GWB, your retirement withdrawals are increased and can potentially provide higher annual withdrawals.

For illustrative purposes only. This is a hypothetical example of how the Step-Up feature would work. On every 5th policy anniversary up to age 80, in the case where the account value has risen and is higher than the GWB at the time when Step-Up is applicable, a new higher GWB will be available.

Income For Life
Moreover, starting from age 65 of the Life Insured, you can elect to make withdrawals that are guaranteed for the rest of the Life Insured's life. The yearly amount available for withdrawals as Income For Life (IFL) is equal to 4% of the GWB at time of election.

Even if your account value goes to zero, you can get all your subscription back and have regular Income For Life.

4 The claimant can select between receiving
