Prudential plan eases protection gap for caregivers

Children receive lifetime cover whilst parents gain protection for specified age-related conditions.

Prudential Singapore launched a whole-of-life protection plan which enables caregivers to provide protection for both their child and ageing parents under a single policy.

The insurer said the plan comes at a time of a super-aged society, as the proportion of citizens in Singapore aged 65 and up was over a fifth of the population in 2026.

“By 2035, more than one in four citizens is expected to be aged 65 and above. As such, there will be an increasing number of people taking on caregiving responsibilities,” the press release said.

The plan, “PRUActive Family Care” (PAFC) provides lifetime protection for the caregiver’s child, as the life assured, covering death, terminal illness, and total and permanent disability (TPD). 

The plan also offers critical illness add-ons, which cover 182 conditions, including juvenile conditions and mental illness.

Additionally, the plan also provides protection for the caregiver’s parents up to the age 100, without the need for medical underwriting. 

The plan covers diagnosis for parents with specified age- related conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

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.
