Protection

Safeguarding your health grows in importance as you embark on a new phase of life. Saving for your upcoming milestones will be easier when you don’t have to worry about medical expenses.

What you already have¹

If you are a Singaporean or PR, you’re automatically covered by three national schemes:

  1. MediSave
    A national savings scheme which helps CPF members save for future medical expenses, especially during retirement.

  2. MediShield Life
    A health insurance for large hospital bills and selected outpatient treatment costs.

  3. CareShield Life
    Long-term care insurance scheme for financial support and monthly cash payouts in event of severe disability

What you may consider²

With big-ticket items lined up in your future, being sufficiently protected is critical in ensuring that your savings can be used as intended – for the new life you’re building.

National schemes do not fully cover:

  1. Hospitalisation
    An Integrated Shield Plan (IP) provides additional coverage for private hospitals or higher ward classes in public hospitals.

  2. Critical Illness
    You’ll need coverage of 4x annual income. (Recommended)³

  3. Death & Total and Permanent Disability
    You’ll need coverage of 9 – 10x annual income. (Recommended)³

  4. Savings²
    To stay covered and accumulate savings over the years.

  5. Maternity
    Coverage for baby and mum.

It’s recommended to spend at most 15% of take-home pay on insurance protection.

Why act now

Health crises can cause income loss and depletion of family funds².

Ensure either partner can sustain the family if the other faces an unfortunate event.

Find the right plan

Prepare for your health gap years—the period when a critical illness diagnosis may require time away from work to focus on recovery for yourself or your loved ones. Be protected from the financial impact of serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, and heart attack, so you can recover with peace of mind and continue supporting your family in the event of a critical illness.

Wealth

Making plans to settle down requires stability. Having a plan to grow your money steadily will help achieve your goals including future expenses and retiring comfortably with your partner.

Basics – what you should have³

  1. Emergency Funds
    At least 3 – 6 months’ worth of expenses (including dependants) for rainy days.

  2. Legacy Planning
    A plan for a will, family trusts, life insurance, powers of attorney, and CPF nominations.

What you may consider²

Creating new memories during your new phase of life will need savings. Giving your money time to grow can mean that your future milestones can be met comfortably.

  1. Investment
    It is recommended to allocate at least 10%3 of your take-home pay for key milestones.

  2. A Retirement Plan³
    It is never too early to start building your nest egg for the retirement lifestyle you want, including monthly payouts.

Why act now

Supporting dependants and your lifestyle requires building a well-diversified portfolio².

As lifespans are increasing⁴, you’ll need a plan for your financial needs in the future.

Give more time for compound interests to accumulate over the years⁶.

For your dependants

One of the best gifts you can present to your children is securing their road ahead.

Basics – what you should have¹

  2. MediShield Life
    A health insurance for large hospital bills and selected outpatient treatment costs.

  3. Dependants’ Protection Scheme⁷
    Term life insurance scheme that provides basic financial protection for you and your family in the event of death, terminal illness or total permanent disability.

What they may need

  1. Integrated Shield Plan
    Additional coverage for private hospitals or higher ward classes in public hospitals.

  2. Life Insurance
    Coverage for death, terminal illness and total permanent disability.

  3. Personal Accident
