What is Global Bond Life Plan?

Global Bond Life Plan is a whole life investment-linked plan that provides protection as well as helps investors diversify their portfolio, through exposure to global bonds as an asset class. The uniqueness of Global Bond Life Plan lies in its cash payouts. This means that while the plan invests your money for long term potential capital appreciation, it also provides cash payouts, so you can look forward to a regular income stream in the short term.

How does Global Bond Life Plan cash payout work?

The plan aims to pay a 5% p.a. cash payout for the first five years, which will be deducted from the fund value regardless of the actual fund performance, so long as the fund value is above a fixed threshold. The fund value will reduce accordingly after each payout. The maturity/surrender value can be higher or lower than the single premium.
