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.
I get it—
Financial planning is such a bore, and retirement planning is not the best dinner convo, but give me 3 mins to change your life.
imagine a future where you’re sipping kopi at your dream spot, no alarms, no work stress, just you living your best life. That’s the freedom I help my clients achieve. With over 8 years in the financial services industry, I’ve learned one thing: the earlier you start planning, the brighter that future looks.
Gone are the days where you need to document your income and expenses in a wordy spreadsheet. My forte, coincidentally, is to simplify complex financial jargons, with tip-top accuracy while projecting what life could look like years from now. Can you afford to get a 2nd property 30 years from now? Ask me and I’ll tell you right away!
Growing up in Singapore’s sandwich generation, I’ve seen how juggling rising costs, family responsibilities, and a rapidly urbanising economy can feel like a full-time job on its own. Our parents gave their all to support us, but it’s time to break the cycle.
The best part? You really don’t need $50,000 or $100,000 to get started. It's about giving our children a future where they don’t have to choose between a $1M HDB flat and covering our healthcare expenses. We can change the story if we plan ahead.
My approach to financial planning is anything but cookie-cutter. Your dreams and aspirations are uniquely yours, and your plan should reflect that.
We'll create a plan that evolves with you, making it simple, actionable and (dare I say it) fun.
