Disclaimers

These policies are underwritten by Singapore Life Ltd.

This is for general information only and does not have regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person. Product Summaries for Direct Purchase Insurance (DPI) may be obtained from Singapore Life Ltd. and at singlife.com. As DPIs are sold without financial advice, you should make sure you have carefully assessed your insurance needs as well as whether you can afford the premiums for the duration of the policy. You should also read the Product Summary, Policy Illustration, DPI Fact Sheet and Checklist, and all related information available on singlife.com to understand the features of the product and assess whether the product you have chosen is appropriate to your financial needs and insurance objectives. If you are unsure if DPI is suitable for you, you may wish to seek advice from a Financial Adviser Representative who may be able to advise you on a suitable product.

As buying a life insurance product, including a DPI Whole Life, is a long-term commitment, an early termination of the policy usually involves high costs and the surrender value, if any, that is payable to you may be zero or less than the total premiums paid. As the DPI Term Life has no savings or investment feature, there is no cash value if the policy ends or if the policy is terminated prematurely. Buying a health insurance policy that is not suitable for you may impact your ability to finance your future healthcare needs.
