Singlife 3% Endowment Plan. Would you sign?

I was scrolling through FB recently when I saw an ad that attracted my attention.


Reminded me of the FWD 2.02% plan one year ago - which I applied for.

Now Singlife is offering a 3% GUARANTEED plan which last till 30 Nov, at up to $6k:
This Single Premium Endowment product’s availability is based on a first-come-first-served basis and is only available for purchase while the acceptance tranche is still open. Singapore Life reserves the right to decline any application that does not fulfil the requirement of a complete application without prior notice, including the invalidity of payment received. (1) The guaranteed maturity yield is 2.20% p.a. and 2.50% p.a. for 3-year-term and 5-year-term respectively. The 5-year-term is only available through our financial adviser partners. During the period between 26 Nov and 30 November 2018, there is a special campaign that gives 3% p.a. guaranteed maturity yield for the 3-year-term and this offer is strictly applicable for one policy per customer for up to S$6,000 single premium. (2) The policy owner can request to partially withdraw the policy and get back part of the single premium paid without incurring surrender charge and without interest upon specified events. Please refer to the product summary for more details. Terms and conditions apply.
On top of treating it as a "savings" plan, it covers death benefits:

** There is a special campaign starting on 26 November 2018 that gives maturity benefit of 109.27% of single premium for a 3-year Endowment Series Three policy. This offer is strictly applicable for one policy per customer for up to S$6,000 single premium only. This promotion is for a limited period only and on a first-come-first-serve basis.


With $6,000 invested, we are expected to get back $556.40 guaranteed "interest". Not bad ah?


With 2 days left to go, would you sign? 

PS: I just received the full allocation of $10k for my Dec 2018 SSB. Should I park another $6k here, given that this 3% might turn out to be a better deal than my stock purchases? 🤔

(If the take-up rate is high, I suspect they'll roll out more of such plans in the near future, just like FWD)

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

Image
As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth 🎉 This is all thanks to the increased in value of my crypto holdings as well as my US stocks. My HK/CN stocks are still in bad shape. On stocks front, truthfully, my overall investments is still in the red. I had made mistakes in stock picking and has not taken the opportunity to cut losses. I had the view to hold and pray those stocks in deep red would go up - after all, I told myself I don't need the money right now. On crypto, given that BTC has bounced back, I'm sitting on decent profits. I've been cashing out bit by bit. The last I spoke in Mar , I cashed out a rather sizeable amount of BTC at 50% profit. On hindsight, if I had waited till now, I could have cash out 3000 SGD more. Anyway, this time round in Nov, I cashed out 2 times, at a 70%-80% profit. Not bad considering the rest of my investments. As long as there are no major global events impacting the markets negatively, I believe I woul...

🤞On track to hitting $950k networth by end 2024🤞

Another blink, another year ending soon. How have you guys been? I wonder who else is still monitoring my blog despite my lack of updates. Again, so much has happened, but not much have changed. I travelled well, continued with a 3rd round of IVF egg retrieval (result was extremely poor), and went through uncertainty at work due to restructuring but was thankfully able to keep my job. I still haven't fulfil my dream of being a mother. Though honestly, it now feels more like a checkbox to be unchecked than the actual fulfilment of wanting to nurture and grow a child. I think the weariness is getting too much. I will embark on my final transfer within these few months. This would be my 7th transfer. If it fails, I'm likely going to stop further treatments. I have already done the best at my "peak".  I am telling myself that my life is still amazing despite these hiccups. Anyway, onto my financial goals. Back on 31 Dec 2024, I posted my goal to achieve $950k networth by ...
