AXA is the insurer that can truly rejuvenate your whole life insurance Singapore plan, since its new par fund re-pricing took effect on July 1st. The Life Treasure II offers a more competitive preposition and multiplier until age 65/70 or 80, plus choices till age 65/70 or 80. It’s a good idea to develop an exit strategy for this new competitive life plan, which fits in nicely with its already excellent maternity policy.

Others require only a lack of ability to do three out of six ADLs to qualify for TPD payouts, whereas AXA is the first life insurance company to offer this option.
