Your questions answered
GREAT Flexi Advantage is an investment-linked insurance plan (ILP) designed to meet your wealth accumulation needs. By giving you access to professionally managed funds, this allows the account value of your policy to potentially grow in the long term. The account value of this plan will vary directly with the performance of the funds.
You may choose between single premium and recurrent single premium.
GREAT Flexi Advantage can be purchased with cash or via the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS).
Recurrent single premium, or RSP, is a payment method that gives you full flexibility to continue or stop paying the recurrent single premium at any time. You may increase or reduce your recurrent single premium amount, subject to financial underwriting or the prevailing minimum premium limit. Mid-way termination of premium payment does not subject you to any penalty.
GREAT Flexi Advantage provides you with financial protection against death and accidental death.
We will pay the account value in one lump sum if the life assured dies or the higher of the following amounts if the life assured dies by accident: -
(a) 105% of the total recurrent single premiums or single premium paid, whichever is applicable, plus 105% of the total single premium top-ups (if any), less 105% of the total amount of partial withdrawals made (if any); or
(b) the account value,
less any debt under the policy.
An accident is an event that results in a sudden, unforeseen and involuntary injury which occurs independently of an illness, disease or any other cause.
There are certain situations when we will not pay the benefits under the plan. These conditions are stated in the policy contract.

(a) Premium charge
We will deduct a premium charge from the premiums you pay before the remaining amount is apportioned to create and grant units in fund(s) chosen by you. The premium charge is a percentage of the single premium/recurrent single premium or single premium top-up (if any) and varies according to the attained age of the life assured.
(b) Switching fee
There is currently no switching fee if you decide to switch funds. However, we may impose a fund switching fee at any time in the future by giving you at least 1 month’s notice.
(c) Partial withdrawal/full surrender charge
There is no charge levied on a partial withdrawal and/or full surrender of the policy.
(d) Fund management charge and custodian fee
We will deduct a fund management charge and custodian fee from the fund value at each asset valuation, before the determination of the unit prices. Please refer to the Fund Details and PHS for the fund(s) selected. These documents can also be downloaded from our website.
As buying a life insurance policy is a long-term commitment, an early termination of the policy after the free-look period usually involves high costs. Insurance coverage will be lost if you surrender your policy early.
The actual amount you will receive depends on the value of all your selected funds based on the prices of the respective funds at the next valuation date. This may be lower than the total recurrent single premiums/single premium and total single premium top-ups (if any) which you have paid.
When you invest in this plan using funds from your SRS, the plan will be managed in compliance with the SRS regulations as amended from time to time. If the terms and conditions are inconsistent with those regulations, then the regulations shall prevail.
1. What is Investment-linked Insurance Plan (ILP)?
An ILP is a life insurance policy which provides a combination of protection and investment. Premiums buy life insurance protection and investment units in professionally managed investment-linked fund(s). ILPs do not provide guaranteed cash values. The value of the ILP depends on the price of the underlying units, which in turn depends on how the investments in the fund perform. Fees, expenses and insurance charges for an ILP are paid for through a deduction of the premium and/or sale of purchased units.
You may refer to 'Your Guide to ILP' for more information.
2. What is the difference between investment-linked insurance and endowment?
Endowment insurance combines protection with savings. It pays a guaranteed sum assured plus any bonuses at maturity or upon death/total and permanent disability (if this benefit is provided) during the policy term. Returns are relatively stable but may vary depending on bonus declarations.
Investment-linked insurance provides life coverage and invests your premiums in managed funds. You can choose funds based on your risk appetite, and the value of your policy depends on fund performance. While you may receive a death benefit on top of your investment value, insurance charges generally increase with age. If coverage is high and fund performance is poor, your policy value may become insufficient to cover charges, risking policy lapse.
