What are Savings Plans?
A savings insurance plan helps you set aside money for future expenses and financial goals. By regularly investing money into a savings plan, you can build a financial cushion to fall back on in an emergency, such as a job loss, medical expense or even something as severe as a permanent disability.
The life cover, an important component of a savings plan, provides financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your untimely death during the policy term. The life cover pays out a death benefit to your selected nominee/beneficiaries, who can cover expenses such as funeral costs, outstanding debts, and daily living expenses.
Some savings plans also offer benefits such as bonuses / dividends in addition to the regular maturity or death benefits of a savings plan. However, it is important to note that bonuses / dividends are generated from the profits of the insurance company and are non-guaranteed components. This means that these components are variable and depend on the performance of the insurance company. A savings plan can also help you save for long-term goals like buying a house or retirement. Lastly, such a plan can also help you make some investments for the future with potential gain and some financial freedom.
