Manulife Singapore launches Manulife IncomeGen - a short-term premium commitment savings solution that offers Singaporeans a lifetime lifestyle allowance that can be passed on to future generations

• With just three years of premium payments, customers can enjoy a reliable and steady lifestyle allowance to live their desired lifestyles
• Customers can pass the gift of the lifestyle allowance to their future generations with a change of life insured option and assignment of policy ownership

SINGAPORE - Manulife IncomeGen is the latest whole-life insurance savings product by Manulife Singapore to empower Singaporeans to take back control of their financial lives.

Designed to help customers live their desired lifestyles, Manulife IncomeGen provides a reliable and steady stream of lifestyle allowance1 up to life-insured age 120, with just three years of premium payments. One of the unique features is the Change of Life Insured option, which allows customers’ loved one to take over as the new life-insured. When the Change of Life Insured option and assignment of policy ownership are held together, customers can pass down the policy in its entirety to their loved one and even their next generation.

This short-term premium commitment plan is the latest in Manulife's wide suite of products aimed to safeguard the needs of today's customers. A recent "Manulife Asia Care Survey" shows that while more than half (52%) of Singaporeans have accepted that COVID-19 is here to stay, they remain concerned about the pace of the economic recovery and income security. These concerns have spurred them to take charge of their financial well-being, with more Singaporeans intending to purchase new insurance (58%), invest (20%) more this year and cut back on unnecessary expenses (30%).

Manulife IncomeGen aims to allow customers to make lifestyle choices that bring them happiness. The regular lifestyle allowance payout will enable them to enjoy lifestyle moments with their loved ones for a lifetime.

Darren Thompson, Chief Customer Officer and Chief Product Officer, Manulife Singapore, said, “One key thing we’ve learned from the pandemic is that our financial situation can change in an instant, necessitating a change in lifestyle to cope. What if we can offer a new product that empowers

Singaporeans to preserve their desired lifestyle? With this insight, we launched Manulife IncomeGen to provide customers with a steady and reliable stream of lifetime allowance for themselves and their loved ones. As a short-term premium commitment plan, we hope to be able to help Singaporeans reap the benefits early so that they can feel secure about their future.”
