Are you adequately protected against life’s uncertainties?
Singaporeans Face a $952 Billion Protection Gap
The latest Protection Gap Study 2022 by the Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA) revealed that there remains a 21% mortality protection gap and a staggering 74% critical illness (CI) protection gap among economically active individuals in Singapore1.
Life Expectancy is Rising: Singaporeans are living longer, but extended lifespans mean more years of health-related expenses. Have you factored this into your current coverage? Not doing so could erode years of savings and derail even the most carefully laid retirement plans.
Critical Illnesses are Expensive: Did you know that on average, patients struck with a critical illness take around 3 to 5 years to recover and return to being economically productive? This leaves many families under-prepared for long recovery periods and lead to degradation in standard of living.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones: Ensuring you are fully protected with life and critical illness insurance isn’t just about safeguarding yourself—it’s about giving your family financial security if the unexpected happens.
According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Basic Financial Planning Guide2, here are the basic rules of thumb for protection that you can consider.
For example, someone with the median monthly income of $5,197 should be covered for death & total permanent disability to the tune of at least $561,276. This person should also be insured against critical illness for at least $249,456.

Note: Insurance plays an important role in your financial planning, and buying an insurance product is a long-term commitment. You should seek financial advice from your trusted financial adviser representative before purchasing any policies.
Term insurance is life insurance that provides insurance coverage only for a fixed period of time. An example of term insurance is the Dependants' Protection Scheme.
Riders can be attached to enhance the benefits provided by the policy. As this may vary from product to product, check with your insurance company for more details.
Back in 2016, I was about to be enlisted in the Military and I thought it would be a good idea to start saving money.
I met up with a few agents from reputable insurance companies, they all presented very well and I was almost sold on the spot several times. However, each time the meeting ended, I thought to myself...
"If Company A can offer me XX product, what can Company B offer to me?"
"This will take forever if I were to meet 10 different agents from 10 different insurance companies..."
"Wouldn't it be good if there was a company that offers a One-Stop Service that could provide a comparison across the nation?"
That was when, I chanced upon Independent Financial Advisory.
My then advisor turned mentor, presented an excel comparison table that comprises of 6-8 companies and shared with me the features of each product.
"If you are looking for higher returns, company A is the best. If you are looking for flexibility, you can go for company B...."
And this was exactly what I was looking for!
