The Tokio Marine Atlas Wealth is one of the most competitive Investment-Linked Policy (ILPs) in the market. It is matched with high start-up bonuses and loyalty bonus incentive with a limited pay premium term of 5 to 25 years with minimum 1 year of lock in period. It is poised to be a regular premium investment plan, best suited for mid to long term of investment time horizon.

It is also very flexible with the premium holidays (without any charges), has low charges to break-even and you get to invest 100% of your premiums right from the start.

The range of funds is also competitive in the market, including retail and Accredited Investor (AI) funds. Through TM Atlas Wealth, Accredited Investor funds are made available for non –AIs. This is huge as the returns are usually high for Accredited Investor funds. However it is important to note that the risk is higher too.

The TM Atlas Wealth can last a lifetime and with its high liquidity, premium holiday features and strong fund choices, making it a very versatile wealth growth investment instrument for retirement planning, children’s education, legacy planning or just for flexible withdrawals

Be Protected For Your Investments

Choose from 2 different Death Benefits: Advanced Death Benefit or Basic Death Benefit.

The Basic Death Benefit covers you got 101% of the value of your investment policy in the event of death.

The second type of Death Benefit is the Advanced Death Benefit and pays out the higher of:

1. 101% of the value of your investment policy; or
2. 100% (The Total Premiums paid) less off the total amount of the withdrawals made throughout (if any)

In the unfortunate event of death occurring during the premium contribution period, be assured that your investments are protected. As life is unpredictable, when death occurs when least expected, this is helpful in the event if the time of death meets when the market is dipping and not performing, the investment value is being protected.

You can also complement the protection by supplementing it with benefits (riders). These riders cover critical illness aspects as well as premium waiving, if required.

Also, no matter the supplementary rider benefits or death coverage chosen, there are no medical questions, examinations and medical history required, which leads to the next feature of the plan:

Guaranteed Issuance Option
