III. YOUR INVESTMENT

1Why are we projecting the growth of my withdrawal value only at a maximum 10% per year?

Life insurance companies in the Philippines are mandated by the Insurance Commission to       project only at a maximum of 10% growth per year. This is because these amounts are based on the movement of bonds and equities -- and are therefore changing. The Insurance Commission then set 10% as the maximum annual growth projection of your policy's withdrawal value.

However, in reality, Pru Life UK's funds, managed by Asia's leading asset management company called Eastspring Investments, are actually doing so much better than the 10% growth projection. For more information, please take a look at page 6 of your policy.

2. Are these amounts withdrawable?

Yes, these amounts are withdrawable however I highly recommend that you only withdraw an amount that will leave at least PhP20,000 in the policy. This will allow the insurance coverage to stay in force up to a certain extent.

3. How can I avail of the Loyalty Bonus?

You may avail of the Loyalty Bonus if during the first 10 years of your policy, you did not miss any payment nor withdraw any amount. The Loyalty Bonus adds an additional 10% to your monthly premium -- courtesy of Pru Life UK.

  1. As you get mature many items in life insurance begin to change. Your children get mature and leave the property. You become a grandparent. Your resources are usually compensated for and most elderly people settle into a life of pension. Then you must need to make Life Insurance for Elderly Over 80 which will be helpful .
