LIFE INSURANCE & YOUR FINANCIAL NEEDS - Retirement Planning
Life Insurance: Planning for Your RetirementImportance of retirement planning
What are the consequences of not providing enough for the nest egg?
Why retirement planning is often neglected:
Another reason why retirement planning is not widely pursued is because most people think that such prospect is still too remote and time is still on their side. But, do you know that in order to generate a monthly retirement income of RM2,000 based on a Fixed Deposit interest rate of 3.7% per annum, one would need to have a principal of RM650,000 upon retirement? This figure would presumably double for someone who wishes to enjoy a monthly retirement income of RM4,000 (these calculations assume that the principal is not liquidated). Therefore, starting early is essential to avoid a shortfall in one’s retirement income.
How much is enough?
Another factor is a person’s life expectancy. Men’s life expectancy in Malaysia is said to be around 70, whilst ladies go up to 75 years old ( Abridged Life Tables (1999-2000), Dept of Statistics, Malaysia). Therefore you need to ensure that your retirement fund stretches until then to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. It is always better to overestimate than underestimate and have to live through the consequences later.

Guaranteed Income Provider (GIP) Guaranteed Income Provider combines the best of short-term commitment and long-term benefit. Guaranteed premium duration and guaranteed annual income… your premium commitment is guaranteed to be 10 years only, after which you will enjoy a guaranteed annual income of 4% of the initial sum assured (hereinafter known as “the guaranteed annual income”) up to age 88. This means after 10 short years, you have acquired an invaluable asset that will continuously pay you the guaranteed annual income of 4% regardless of the fluctuation in interest rate, ensuring you have an extra income to assist you in facing life's uncertainties.
Potential returns… to supplement your guaranteed annual income, Guaranteed Income Provider also builds up a substantial cash account through its dividend participating program. AIA will declare yearly dividends according to its participating fund’s performance. You may use the dividends to supplement your guaranteed annual income or leave it with AIA to accumulate with interest for the rainy days ahead.
Guaranteed Income Provider also serves as a lifetime companion, faithfully giving you the financial support as you progress through the different life stages. During your younger days, it can help to support your standard of living and build a foundation for the future of your family. After retirement it can be used to supplement your retirement income, providing you with the financial freedom when it matters most. In short, you can use the guaranteed annual income to fit your ever-changing financial needs.
Benefiting three generations… Guaranteed Income Provider does not only benefit yourself, but it extends beyond that. By insuring your child while you hold ownership of the plan, you will be enjoying the guaranteed annual income. Once your child is an adult, you can transfer the ownership of the plan to your child where he/she can continue to enjoy the annual income. In turn, he/she can nominate his/her child to receive the death benefit. In short, Guaranteed Income Provider can benefit three generations.
Free disability benefit (for standard lives)… assure yourself of added coverage providing disability income. In the unfortunate event of total and permanent disability, you will receive disability payment in one lump sum or 10% of the sum assured in the first two years, followed by the remaining 80% in the third year, depending on the nature of the disability.
Optional waiver of basic premium… this plan also comes with an optional waiver of premium upon the diagnosis of critical illness, ensuring the continuation of your plan. Most importantly the guaranteed annual income from the end of the 10 th year onwards will see you through the most critical period of your life by supplementing your living expenses.
