Spouse Retirement Savings Plan

The Spouse Retirement Savings Plan is an investment linked plan designed to encourage individuals to save for their spouses’ retirements. This plan is a variant of our default retirement savings plan and it promotes main lives, who already have a workplace pension scheme, to cater for their spouses’ retirement benefits.

The Retirement Savings Plan can be set up by a single life only. The minimum age at entry is 18 years and maximum is 60 years provided age at maturity does not exceed 65 years. This is an investment savings product that has single, regular or a combination of both contributions. The net amount of the premium will be invested and the Company will declare return on the investment which will accumulate. The value of the policy at any time will be referred to as the Personal Private Account, PPA.
