Education Endowment Plan

In planning for your children’s education funds, these are some factors to consider: where would you like them to further their studies, when will they need the money, your current financial situation and your risk appetite. The earlier you start the plan, the lesser you are required to outlay in premium.

Endowment insurance provides both protection and savings. The policy normally pays the sum insured and any bonuses you have built up at the end of the set period of time (maturity date), when you die or become totally and permanently disabled (if this benefit is provided) if it happens during this period. The protection coverage will be on the life of your children if the endowment plan is taken out on their lives. In addition, some plans allow riders to be added on to waive off the future premiums should any mishap occur to the payor, i.e. premature death, totally and permanently disabled or diagnosed with critical illness.

Besides endowment, Investment-linked plan (ILP) is also commonly used in planning for children’s education needs. The premiums paid will buy life insurance protection and investment units in a managed fund. The price of the units depends on how the investments in the fund perform. What it pays depends on the price of the units at the time you cash it in.

Speak to your financial planner. He/she will be able to make the recommendations based on your current financial situation, preferences, objectives, risk appetite and time horizon.
