The Lifetime Needs Plan is designed to provide the member with the means of contributing to an investment fund which can meet the members life needs such as child education, retirement etc. and in addition also provide a life cover which becomes payable to the beneficiary in the event of the demise of the Life assured.
How does the plan work?
There are three options available for the member to choose from. This has varying compositions of both the life cover and the investment element.
Who can the plan cover?
The Life assured is the only member who can be covered and must be aged 18-54 years. However trustees and beneficiaries can be named
There are two optional add-on benefits available:
a) Funeral Cover Benefit – which provides burial cover for the Life assured, spouse and children only which has a six month waiting period restriction, and;
b) Cash Bonus – which is purely investment, a structured, disciplined way to save, at good returns.
c) Lump sum payment - The policy holder has the opportunity of making a lump sum payment into the investment account of the policy whenever he or she wishes to do so.
Can I increase my premiums and benefits anytime I want to do so?
No. However you have an option to increase your premium and your benefit automatically on every anniversary year. This will be on compound basis.
When will my cover start?
Enterprise Life will go on cover once the first premium has been received.
