Cash Benefits on the 3rd Year

At the end of the 2nd year of the plan (3rd year basically), receive cash benefits that comprises of guaranteed amount that is equivalent to 3% of the Sum Assured as well as non-guaranteed yield bonuses. This provides some flexibility while not locking up everything in the plan.

Re-Invest Your Cash Benefits

You can receive the cash benefits paid out and should you choose not to use them, you have the option to accumulate and re-invest them at up to 3% annually (non-guaranteed)

Flexible Premium and Policy terms

A new feature that allows for policy term to be stretched as long as possible is to be able to go up to age 120 for the policy term. Premiums term can be short like 5 or 10 years, the advantage is that after your premium years have stopped, your wealth in the plan will continue to grow and compound continuously until you are age 120.

The idea is not to wait until 120 years old to receive the grand maturity amount (although it will be good to receive it then) but to accumulate and grow to have flexible cash withdrawal as and when you need it, as it is similar to an investment tool that is ongoing for life.
