Manulife Singapore upgrades income-generating product

About 9 in 10 S’poreans said they want to earn without working.

Manulife Singapore's income-generating product, Manulife IncomeGen (II), has been enhanced. This new version features a shorter breakeven period and introduces a terminal cancer benefit, providing more robust financial solutions.

According to the Manulife Asia Care Survey 2024, over 90% of respondents in Singapore have long-term financial goals, with "having income without working" ranking among the top five. 

The insurer said the upgraded product targets these aspirations by offering a lifetime of monthly income payouts up to age 120.

  • New terminal cancer benefit: Provides support following a terminal cancer diagnosis, enhancing the policy's significance during critical times.

“Our customers express significant concern about the increasing cost of living, and almost half are worried about unexpected expenses. Enhancements such as a short premium paying period and a potentially long income payout duration offer our customers a valuable buffer against financial uncertainties.” said Mark Czajkowski, Chief Marketing Officer of Manulife Singapore, in a press release.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
