What is an Endowment Plan?

An endowment plan is a life insurance contract that pays a lump sum after a specified time (maturity or death). This kind of traditional insurance plan has the highest form of savings; thus, the premium is also higher than a whole life/limited pay/term insurance. If you want to get a guaranteed regular stream of income, then an endowment plan is for you.

• What makes the traditional plan unique is it shields us from the market fluctuations. Worry no more because the benefits of traditional policy like an endowment plan are guaranteed regardless of the performance of the market.
• It can also serve as contingency funds for the times you badly needed money for emergencies as you are allowed to take a loan against the policy (compared to withdrawing funds from your VUL plan when the market is down or taking a high-interest loan from a bank).
• The anticipated endowment benefit gives you a regular stream of income.
