Hi all! I was recommended by my agent to get the prulife multiplier flex for early critical illness coverage. She said that this can complement my current ILP that has CI rider. When the ILP cost of insurance gets too high I can choose to terminate and fall back on this as my main coverage.
Is this true? What do you guys recommend?
I earn about 4K/month. Currently have an ILP which I’m paying $160/month and have a hospitalization plan as well.

Well, i have a couple of questions for you:
1) Why did u purchase the ILP at the start?
2) What was the purpose of your ILP?
Based on what you have shared, your annual income is approximately S$48,000. In terms of CI coverage, it would be good to have 4 - 5x of your annual income as CI coverage. Hence, I would suggest that u cover $50,000 to S$100,000 in ECI and another S$150,000 in CI Coverage.
As for what kind of plans for your coverage, it really depends on your overall budget, and preferences. For ECI, i would strongly suggest that you stick to a Whole Life Plan rather than term plans unless you can easily invest the difference to generate at least 5 - 6% annually.
As for CI, it would be good to have it as a rider to a term plan, since ILPs arent the most efficient way to provide coverage for CI.
