You can get $228,000 more from NTUC Income

Be ready for a big surprise. Maybe a shock!

A young man aged 30 invested $100,000 in an investment product offered by a large insurer (not NTUC Income). He showed the benefit illustration to us.

We made a similar illustration based on the Flexi-link from NTUC Income. We used the same assumption, ie a gross yield of 5% and 9% per annum on our investment fund, and the same format as prescribed by the Life Insurance Association.

The difference in the projected return at age 65 (ie after 35 years) is staggering.


Projected return at age 65
5% p.a. 9% p.a.
NTUC Income $375,000 $1,390,900
Other insurer $313,400 $1,162,900
Difference $ 61,600 $ 228,000


The difference is due to the higher charges imposed by the other insurer.

By investing in a lower charge plan from NTUC Income, the policyholder can enjoy $228,000 more (or 20% extra) at age 65.
