Aviva’s MyWholeLifePlan III Product Features & Technicalities
The Aviva MyWholeLife Plan III comprises of 2 main components: the basic plan, as well as the riders, or additional covers as they are called:
Covers for Life
Basic plan of death and terminal illness coverage is for life. This means that no matter how old the person lives, the coverage for death and terminal illness is for life. The word “Life” is literally on the Policy Illustration (PI)
Wide Range of Multipliers
Go from x2, x3, x4 and x5 of your basic sum assured to enhance your protection until a certain age.
Wide and Longer Choice of Multipliers
Multipliers, or Additional Covers, offers higher coverage before a certain age. Most insurers will stop at age 70, but Aviva actually has an option for you to choose to the age of 65, 70, 75 and 80. It is considered very decent considering the basic sum assured will be multiplied until a very old age, maximum of 80 years old.
Very Flexible
Wide range of premium term from a one-time Single Premium term to 10, 15, 20 or 25 years
Cash Value
Yield and interest bonuses are being accumulated with comprehensive coverage and protection.
Income Payout Option
During retirement age, choose to receive regular monthly payout income stream up to 99 years old anytime after turning 65 years old. Cash value bonus continues to grow
Guaranteed Extra Protection (GEP)
At Key Life Events, have the option to increase your protection coverage without the need of medical underwriting nor providing any proof of insurability.
Key Life Events:
- Change of marital status
- Becomes a parent – newborn or legal adoption

Lost of Job Waiver
In the event of retrenchment or unemployed and remains involuntarily unemployed for a continuous 3 months, enjoy interest waiver for premiums that are put on hold for up to 12 months.
This feature can be activated to let you focus on looking for a new job.
Special Benefit Protection
This provides an additional amount of 20% of the main sum assured that pays out in the event of any of the 24 medical conditions such as diabetic complications or autism. This will not reduce the main death and terminal illness sum assured.

What We Like About the Plan
- Wide range of premium term – From 10, 15, 20 and 25 years
- Receive Monthly income anytime after 65 years old. This could reduce sum assured.
- Early stage critical illness and Multipay CI II riders covers 105 medical conditions and 24 special conditions.
- In the event of retrenchment or unemployed and remains involuntarily unemployed for a continuous 3 months, enjoy interest waiver for premiums that are put on hold for up to 12 months.
- Flexible multiplier term with option to choose till age 65/70/75
- Wide range of Multipliers from x2, x3, x4 and x5
- While most insurers have Total Permanent Disability (TPD) coverage until age 70 or 75 (some at an even shorter 65 years old!), Aviva’s TPD protection is for life.
What We Don’t Like About the Plan
- Minimum Sum Assured starts from $50, 000 where as some insurers start at a lower $25, 000.
- MultiPay CI rider pays out 500% where as the standalone and term plan rider version has it at 600%.
- No option for x1 multiplier. Some people may prefer to have more cash value upon retirement and would not like any multipliers.
Aviva MyWholeLifePlan III may suit if you are looking for:
- High amount of death, Terminal Illness and Total Permanent Disability Protection Sum assured at a competitive premium.
- The choice of having flexible riders to further enhance your coverage, making it really comprehensive.
- High early to intermediate to advance stage of Critical Illness with competitive premiums
- Higher Early Critical Illness, Critical Illness and Total Permanent Disability coverage in an Insurance Policy.
- Cash value that accumulates throughout the plan.
- Steady stream of monthly income during retirement age.
- A limited premium paying term and get coverage of death, TPD as well as early stage CI for life.
Aviva MyWholeLifePlan III Is Not Suitable If You Want:
- A wealth growth instrument for retirement and savings purposes.
- Frequent withdrawals and access of cash from the insurance coverage plan.
- Short breakeven years and have high cash value early into the plan.
