How does the Singlife account work and compare to other cash / endowment / savings plans?

So far what I understand is its like a cash endowment savings plan. What you put in is the premiums, and the endowment policy return is kind of like up to 2.5% for first 10k, and 1% thereafter. Different from the general endowments where the first 80+% of first year premiums is fees and commissions paid to the insurance Co / agent, this one seems like they give you less return, but the cost is lower (at least they don't eat the 80% of first year premiums). Is my understanding right?

The other plans you are referring to are participating policies where the money are invested in the par fund. These policies have charges (sales, management, etc) and usually, a lock-in period as the policy is meant for long term investment (10years).

A short term endowment plan is non-participating and functions similar to a fixed deposit.
