Insurance-linked investment

I have started insurance-linked investment 4, 5 years ago. I will not add in anymore insurance for the time being, it is good to start when you are young.

(1) The first one is investment-linked plan, AIA Arcons of Asia fund, this economic crisis gives me a very good chance to collect prices at cheaper price every single months. The breakeven time-frame is 7 years.

(2) HSBC target saver is an endowment plan, a way of disciplined saving every month, the return is guaranteed. The term is 21 years. I shall receive a lump sum cash by age of 46.

(3) AsiaLife, the best whole-life insurance in Singapore, no arguement about it. The benefits, bonuses are the highest, based on true facts. It is a must have insurance for all Singaporean.

(4) Aviva insurance, invested in Lion Global Japan Fund, not so much on the insurance return, but focus on Japan Nikkei index returns instead, a small play, with only 25% premium return on insurance.

(5) Needless to say, Great Eastern, DPS scheme is automatically set by Singapore government.

(6) I have bought Myshield plan from Aviva, using CPF MA , $142 annual, to cover some hospitalization cost.

Besides, I also invested CPF OA & SA money into unit trust, as we all know OA gives you 2.5% interest and SA 4%. For the next 30 years, I am very sure the funds return outbeat those single digit interest, especially I bought China , India & Asia funds.

p/s: the alignment of the table offset a little bit, I can't do much about it, sorry.
