September 21st, 2024

HL Assurance Early Protect360 Plus is an affordable way to address critical illness coverage gaps in your insurance portfolio.

The Life Insurance Association (LIA) of Singapore, which promotes financial literacy and sets industry standards, published a Protection Gap Study in 2023 and found these to be the reasons.

  • The complexity and wide variety of CI policies make it confusing for consumers.
  • Many people deprioritise CI insurance, thinking they won’t be affected.
  • High premium costs.
  • Standalone CI policies typically do not offer cash value upon surrender or maturity.
  • It is difficult to assess what adequate coverage is due to the wide range of critical illnesses.
