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 believe that “Worrying is not planning and Hope is not a good strategy", and that the purpose of Financial Planning is to allow us to lead fulfilling lives while being financially wise.
As such, my role as a Certified Financial Planner CFP® is to help my clients build those sound financial strategies and design action plans that put them on track to their financial goals so that they can live the best possible life for themselves.
This is done via a systematic approach of ongoing cash flow management & asset allocation, as well as investment management, estate planning, and tax optimization.
I also ascertain that I stay up-to-date with industry trends and policies changes to ensure that my clients benefit from the latest strategies and opportunities available.
Over the years, I have developed a specialty in comprehensive financial planning for busy legal professionals & educators. I also particularly like assisting working mothers & young families to achieve their long term financial goals. Working with the largest independent financial advisory (IFA) firm in Singapore also frees me from product pressures and allows me to only recommend solutions that suit my client’s needs. And client’s interest, is always the core of my FA business.
Being a wealth planner is my dream career and this is what I hope to do for a long time.
Other than financial planning & investment, I love to travel, read, bake and I am an adrenaline enthusiast. I am most looking forward to the day my children join me on my adventures.
