It is good to highlight why personal accident plan can save money even for mild fracture or sprain as a MRI costs around 400 to 1500 alone, physiotherapy costs around 50-150 per session, tuina cost 30 to 100 etc. The problem with such fractures etc is that you need multiple treatments or long period of recovery so the cost is quite high in sg.
Dude, you got your calculation for ILP wrongly. After age 55, the next age band is 60. So if you take 72000 - 60000 = 12000. That's 12000 over 5 years which equals to $2400/year. It does not increase. Alternatively, you can take 72000, divide by 30 policy years, you would still get $2400/year. And for clarification for the rest of the viewers, that column shows net total premium paid, not premium to be paid yearly.
Thank you so much kevin. Your style and passion to teach is admirable and am grateful to all your videos. I plan to watch a lot of them to get ahead in my financial journey. God bless your sir. You are a blessing!
Hi Kelvin! I'm 25 years old this year and my plans are Hosp plan - $540 P.A. CI Plan - $1747 P.A. Accident plan - $365 P.A. Is it too expensive for my age as it would be $220 per month. And I check with my insurance agent mine is counted as term life, Is it counted as term life?
Oh, mine is also around there, i think its considered cheap already. The ci price looks like term life to me, yr agent says its term life, should be term life i guess
I guess what you have are AIA insurance plan. Hospital Plan is under Private Hospital and what you are paying is Rider’s premium. CI Plan that you mentioned could be a pure CI or Term Life Plan which includes CI. Accident Plan is Solitaire PA Plan 2 and there is a lower one which is Plan 1. Bear in mind there are premium adjustment on Hospital Plan and Accident Plan. One of the reasons is GST adjustment this year. If you really can’t afford $220 per month, downgrade on Hospital Plan and Accident Plan is one option but I personally do not encourage this. Take note that Hospital Plan premium will only increase every few years (regardless of insurance company), and it is advisable to create your own “Medical Fund” so that you could afford and sustain your future premium.
I don't think if you signed up early, at the age of 40, the premium still remain at the price you signed up at 30 years old I think the appropriate explanation is the chances u get illness at 40 are higher than 30, so u will need pay more because the underlying risk Which means if you signed up early, they have to honor the contract as u signed at 30, even u have different kind of illness at 40, insurance company will still increase the premium as illustrated in the premium table , that increase by your age, but of course without extra charges due to your body condition
Hi Kelvin, I badly need your advice! To my bad I just signed (on 10th June) for a 8 years ILP through DBS for manulife smartretire (ii). I am in my mid 30s holding Employment Pass and was looking for a long term investment ( I already have life insurance somewhere else), this platform is giving an option for switching unit trust funds without any additional cost - yearly 1.3% flat platform fee & got promotion of additional units worth of 10% first years premium + SGD 900. Can you please suggest if I should still continue?
Sir,. I had an accident at work. Pain in legs, back. Almost blind in both eyes. Doctor said need surgery. Now if I want to go to the country (Bangladesh) for treatment, will the insurance company give me any help?
Hi Kelvin, u mentioned that u will leave your insurance agent contact in the description box, but I don't seem to be able to find it. Can u please provide your insurance agent contact please? I hv been looking for a gd reliable agent for a very very very long time. Thk u.
Would like to ask for advice on if I should terminate my savings plan with prudential after paying 6 years to invest in a term insurance along with ILP.. I would lose about $10k for those amount contributed in the past 6 years… the surrender fee is $2.6k
Oh my, that sounds bad. I also terminated ILP + savings plan few years ago, and i lost a bit of money. My thought process is, if i withdraw, assuming market can give me 6-8% returns, which can give me a higher return in 20 years time
Hello Kelvin, as a beginner investor as well as someone who has sort of started my adulting journey, thank you for your videos (investments, hdb etc) as they are all very practical and useful. As I would only be able to commit a small sum on a monthly basis (~200) do you recommend slowly building a pure dividend income portfolio or what can I start with? Also, would like to ask your thoughts on pure "investment" plans by insurance companies i.e GE Wealth blah blah and AIA etc
I feel its fine to have a small amount. If you prefer to invest every month, use a broker that doesn't have min commission like tiger so ur commission is lower. Otherwise you can invest every few months instead. Personally i dont like investment plans because of the super high fees and low returns, but the good point about those is everything is done for u automatically
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting I see, thanks for your reply, also, I noticed that there's a minimum no of shares i.e 100 for DBS, how do I go about buying a small amount of that instead?
Great video ! I’m from the Philippines and I’m staying in SG now. I know I’m going back to PH in a couple of years. Is it okay for me to still get life insurance here ?
There is critical illness and early critical illnesses. I know critical illness is important.Do we still need early critical illness plan or both. Cas early CI is not cheap. Where is the cheaper early CI plan. Thank you so much
🔺Hi Kelvin, I cannot find the link or contact to your recommended insurance agent in the description box. I hv been looking for a gd & reliable insurance agent for a very very long time. I wld really really appreciate it very much if you will kindly provide me the contact for the Insurance Agent that you mentioned in your video. I really hope you will reply to this request. Thank you very much.
Good video as always. Anyways is it more worth it to have 2 separate critical illness and personal accident plans instead of one life insurance plan if u do not plan to have children?
Sorry for sounding nosey but it's the first time I heard of religion not allowing insurance. It's interesting to know. May I know what religion is that?
Kelvin, would suggest u to google directly to MUIS website, there is a fatwa about insurance for many Singaporean Muslims, in need of insurance, but do not know if they can get it. www.muis.gov.sg/officeofthemufti/Fatwa/English-Revocable-Insurance-Nomination helmihakim.com/insurance/is-there-such-thing-as-halal-insurance-in-singapore/

Good video. Term life insurance is also another simple yet hugely effective option. And it’s the cheapest.
Thanks Kelvin. Will like to know more. Wonder if you can go deeper in the topic on hospital plan? How to contact you?
Thanks Kelvin for the breakdown! Can do something similar for endowment plans?
May I know where did u get the 5:31 premium comparison table from?
Hi Kelvin! I'm 25 years old this year and my plans are

Get integrated plan because payout between medishield life and IP is a lot.
Hi Kelvin, will you recommend buying ILP for someone who do not want to monitor their investments and just focus on dollar cost averaging
If dont want to monitor, you can buy an index fund, its much cheaper and your insurance is not exposed to market risks
Just what i need! Thanks!
Sir,.
I had an accident at work. Pain in legs, back. Almost blind in both eyes. Doctor said need surgery.
Now if I want to go to the country (Bangladesh) for treatment, will the insurance company give me any help?
Hi Kelvin, will you share more on traded insurance plans. Thank you
any suggestions what good term life insurance plans there are?
Hi Kelvin, can you teach us how to trade options?
It would help if you show the number of insurance like a mind map, so it is easier to absorb the info.
If that simple kind of info you also can't absorb, yah, you definitely need an insurance
