What is the rough cost of whole life with ECI for 35-year-old male? Sum assured 100K. Any recommendations or are policies mostly similar with different insurers?

What are the best whole life plans out there that cover ECI? Are there any policies that are significantly better than others? or is it a scenario whereby most policies are so similar that it doesn't really matter who you go with anymore?

Hi Anon,

I think Hariz has painted out to you the best possible products on what he can offer as a FA. As for us who are tied to our agencies, like Prudential and AIA. We can only advise you on what we have on hand.

I think in regards to insurance, most insurers actually look at each others' products and try to match them closely as we all know Singapore is a very competitive market, so at the end of the day, you are the one who makes the final decision to follow which insurer. But I would just add that, for insurance it's really not just about the price, but it's about the peace of mind when one has to do their claims. Similar to why some of us would still choose to get an iPhone as compared to a cheaper android phone, haha. If you are open to options, do reach out

Hey Anon, coming from an IFA, I'm able to compare products across multiple insurers and surprisingly, some insurers vary widely for premiums for exactly the same product.

AIA in this example is 50-60% more expensive than the median cost.

A 35 Male, I'm assuming healthy and doesn't smoke would pay 2000/yr for 20 years for a 100k (50k X 2) Whole Life With ECI.

The cost will depend on a few other factors, e.g. smoker v non-smoker, health conditions.
