TLB Launches Genesis Indexed Universal Life in Singapore, Offering HNW Customers More Growth Opportunity & Protection
Transamerica Life (Bermuda) Ltd. (TLB), a leading High Net Worth (HNW) life insurance provider, announced yesterday the launch of its new Genesis Indexed Universal Life ("Genesis Indexed UL") plan available through its Singapore Branch Office.
Genesis Indexed UL is designed for HNW customers who are seeking more opportunities to grow and protect their wealth and it allows them to enjoy the benefit of potential gains, whilst being shielded from market downturns. More importantly, Genesis Indexed UL provides them with lifetime protection giving customers peace of mind that their financial legacy is secured. Offering broad diversification across world markets and economic sectors, Genesis Indexed UL is tied to three major international stock indices - the S&P 500® Index, the Hang Seng Index and the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index*. A "Guaranteed Floor Rate" in the product's Index Account provides assurance for customers while they participate in the upside growth opportunities of the stock markets, alongside a Fixed Account that affords stability.
Key features and benefits of Genesis Indexed UL include:
- Lifetime insurance protection – with a Death Benefit designed to last a lifetime, providing secure life protection for both family and business needs;
- Growth potential – its Index Account provides opportunity for higher interest earnings along with a guaranteed persistency bonus, enhancing the policy's long-term growth performance potential;
- Protection from market downturns – provides a Cumulative Guaranteed Crediting Interest Rate of 2.00% p.a. on a cumulative basis upon full surrender, while customers also may allocate all or a portion of the premiums or account value to a Fixed Account that earns a declared interest rate not less than the Guaranteed Minimum Crediting Interest Rate over the life of the policy;
- Flexibility and control – allows customers to choose payment options for Single Premium and Planned Premiums as well as choice in premium allocations between the Index and Fixed Accounts and fund transfers;
- Dollar Cost Averaging – an in-built mechanism, at the customer's discretion, that serves to stabilise returns and reduce exposure to market volatility;
- Accessibility – Withdrawals and Policy Loans from the Cash Value of the policy can be accessed when needed with a Surrender Charge-free Withdrawal without any reduction of the Sum Assured from Policy Year 11 onwards;
- Tailored underwriting and pricing – with a non-medical limit up to USD 3 million Sum Assured for ages up to 55 for residents of selected countries; and
- Insured Exchange option – an Insured life can be changed during the life of the policy (subject to certain conditions), adapting to different customer needs.
