  1. An average working adults in Singapore need about $626,000 worth of coverage, do you have that coverage?

  2. In addition to the recent reports by LIA Protection Gap Study (28 Aug 2012), there are many evidence showing Singaporeans are under-insured.

  3. Besides the risk of early demise, disability can happen to anyone at anytime. Question is how financially prepared are we to counter these unforeseen mishap?

    Council for Disability Awareness (DCA) has lots of helpful info here @ http://www.disabilitycanhappen.org/preparing_disability/

    Please note that the data are based on US demographics.
    And, contact a qualified financial planner to set up your disability income plan.

  4. As a potential insurance plan owner, the following resources are what you must expect to receive from your insurance-based financial planner or anyone who is licensed to sell you insurance products.

    Please refer to the consumer guide section by LIA (Life Insurance Association)
    http://www.lia.org.sg/consumers/library/consumer_guides

    Please seek qualified insurance-based planner to explain the details of the guide whichever is relevant before your purchase of the respective insurance product.
