I primarily bought this as a substitute for savings in view of low interest rates, but have also come to realise that the returns are really bad (2% after 20 years) as I could have opted for a shorter term one / topped up my CPF instead. Is there anyway to switch plans, reduce the annual premium...or should I just eat the loss and invest differently? I probably can bear the premium, it mostly looks like the opp cost is very high.

Yes glad you realised, still not too late. You can sell your policy to a company which deals with traded endowment policy like Policywoke. Very high opportunity cost here due to the high commitment and long duration. Better to cut loss and invest elsewhere. E.g. through a robo advisor or opening your own brokerage account to diy

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks Jesslyn for recommending us. Since the policy is less than a year since inception, there may be an option to reduce the sum assured to reduce the annual premium payable. But you must first seek advice from your financial advisor if it is suitable for you to do so, or if there are other options.
