Footnotes
1 At the point of application, the policy requires you to select your Target Income Goal, which is the sum of Target Monthly Income you aim to receive over the target retirement period starting from your Target Retirement Age. Changes made to Target Income Goal after policy inception will not affect any basic or supplementary benefits of the policy. The policy does not offer any guarantee that your selected Target Income Goal will be achieved. Target Monthly Income is dependent on the actual fund(s) performances meeting the illustrated rate of return.
2 You can choose to withdraw a fixed dollar amount from the funds on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually basis. You may exercise this option after the premium payment term.
If this option is activated before the Target Retirement Age, the regular income drawdown will cease at the Target Retirement Age.
3 You are not allowed to partially withdraw units from the Policy in the first 2 policy years. The minimum amount that can be withdrawn each time is S$500, subject to a minimum balance of S$1,000 in the Account. After 2nd policy year, surrender charge will be imposed on the partially withdrawn amount, if the partial withdrawal request takes place during the premium payment term. Please refer to the Product Summary for the surrender charge table for more details.
4 Please see the Product Summary and Policy Contract for details of the Death Benefit and waiver of premium on Critical Illness (CI) and/or Total and Permanent Disability Benefit.
5 Please see the Product Summary and Policy Contract for details of the Welcome Bonus, Loyalty Bonus and Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.
6 Diagnosis of the Loss Of Independence (LOI) must be confirmed and certified by a medical examiner. Manulife will pay the LOI income as long as you meet the LOI definition. You cannot leave the LOI income due under this benefit with Manulife. This benefit ends immediately on the date you recovers and is no longer in the state of LOI. If you have recovered but losses your independence again, you are entitled to this benefit again as long as you continue to meet the LOI definition.
7 The benefit illustration is based on fund management charge of 1.25% per annum on projected investment returns of 4% per annum. The rate of return is used purely for illustrative purposes but it is a Life Insurance Association of Singapore (LIA) prescribed rate of return for benefit illustration – the actual rate may be higher or lower. The actual benefits payable will depend on the actual performance of the Manulife SmartRetire fund(s) selected.
The performance of the Manulife SmartRetire fund(s) is not guaranteed and the account value may be less than the principal invested. No guarantee is given, express or implied, that you will receive any amount invested.
