Life insurance

• There is no strict limit to the number of life insurance policies you can have.
• However, it is important to take into consideration your needs (e.g. number of dependents you are and will be supporting), lifestyle and budget.
• Alternatively, have your financial goals assessed by consulting one of Great Eastern’s Financial Representatives for personalised financial guidance.

• Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones in case of an untimely death or total permanent disability (TPD).
• The payout from your life insurance can help you cover daily expenses and other expenses like your children’s education.

• Life insurance is a broad term that includes various policies, while term insurance refers to a specific type of policy with unique features.

(i) Coverage Period: The coverage period for term insurance is flexible, depending on the customer’s choice, whereas life insurance covers the insured’s entire lifetime.

(ii)Payout: If the term insurance person insured passes away within the term, the beneficiaries will receive a death benefit. However, if they outlive the term, no payout will be issued.

(iii)Premiums: Term insurance generally offers significantly lower premiums compared to whole life insurance as it only covers a specific period and generally has no cash values.

(iv)Cash Value: Unlike whole life insurance, term insurance generally does not build cash value.

• Great Eastern’s term insurance policies include GREAT Term, GoGreat Term Life, etc.

• To put it simply, you pay premiums to an insurance company in exchange for a payout upon the events covered such as death, total and permanent disability, or terminal illness.

(i)Premiums: the regular payments you make to keep your policy active.

(ii)Death Benefit: the amount of money payout to beneficiaries upon the death of the person insured

(iii)Potential Cash Value: certain types of life insurance policies build cash value over time

• Great Eastern’s life insurance policies such as GREAT Life Advantage 4 and GREAT Flexi Protect Series are some examples. 

• Determining whether you need a life insurance policy depends on individual circumstances.
• If you have dependents you may need to have life insurance.
• Extra consideration should also be taken if you have financial obligations e.g. debts, mortgage payments, car loans, etc.
