Bought Maxgrowth Enhanced few yrs ago. Now looking at it, realised that the guaranteed sum is actually lesser than what I paid in total? Can anyone give me advice?

Bought from OCBC, Great eastern endowment. Matured in 2027. Will pay 35k in all, but realised that sum assured is only 31k. I was looking at the guaranteed value if I were to surrender now, and is only 35% of what I paid so far, so don't think surrender is an option. If I were to wait till 2027, if year 2027 is a poor economy year, does it mean I have high chance of getting much less than what paid? Even if is good economy, does that mean that I will lose money should the investment turned wrong?

Happy Friday everyone!

When MaxGrowth Enhanced plan matures, does it automatically pays out into ocbc or need to fill in redemption letter?

Fraud I Totally agreed. lesson learnt and will never ever again.

The Maxgrowth Enhanced product is on the borderline fraud. Just the name itself suggest good returns and growth. I am expecting my payout next year, and I would have earned more just doing nothing i.e just have the money in a normal bank account . At least it is a lesson learnt, and all trust with OCBC is now totally gone

I bought the $30K GE Maxgrowth policy matured this year. Same reason of poor performance and get a m...
