We’re Mentioned On
The Purpose of a Retirement Plan
Retirement is almost guaranteed to happen.
If you have an inadequate amount of retirement funds when that time comes, it doesn’t mean you can still continue to work. Poor health can come into the picture.
This is why saving for your retirement has to start much earlier.
By disciplining yourself to save a fixed amount of money into a retirement annuity plan, you’re able to grow your savings, so that when the time comes to enjoy your retirement, you’re able to do so.

Best Retirement/Annuity Plans in Singapore (Comparison for 2023)
If you like the idea of a retirement plan, what’s next?
Finding the best one of course!
You’re using your hard-earned money and you’ll definitely want to make the best decision (with no regrets in the future).
But annuity plans come in all shapes and sizes… and one size doesn’t fit all.
The only way to find the best one for you is to do an in-depth comparison across the different plans offered by the different insurance companies.
And that’s what we’re good at.
Here’s a non-exhaustive list of retirement annuity plans that we can compare:
| Insurance Company | Plan Name |
| AIA | Retirement Saver (IV) Platinum Gift of Life (II) |
| Singlife with Aviva | Singlife Flexi Retirement (previously MyRetirementChoice III) Singlife Flexi Life Income (previously MyLifeIncome III) |
| AXA | Retire Treasure (II) – withdrawn |
| Manulife | RetireReady Plus (III) Signature Income (III) Ready LifeIncome (II) |
| NTUC Income | Gro Retire Flex Luxe Solitaire Gro Annuity II |
What’s in Our Retirement Plan Comparison DeepDive™
Unlike others, our DeepDive™ gives you the Good and the Bad…
So you will be equipped to make better decisions.
What we’ll cover in the comparison:
- How much do you want to set aside to save
- How long do you want to save for
- Potential income you may get during the retirement period
- How long can you receive this income
- Any secondary benefits
- Potential disadvantages
- Anything else you wish to know…
We spent hours scrutinising policy documents so that you don’t have to.
But, We Do Things Differently
Unlike others, we don’t publish these comparisons online (comparisons from other sites are usually generic in nature, may contain outdated information, and their quotes aren’t specific to your profile and your needs). Also, we don’t send these these personalised comparisons directly to your email.
We do this on an appointment basis (via zoom video call or a meet-up) to first understand your situation before going through the comparison with you. This ensures that we can provide appropriate advice there and then.
It may sound troublesome to you, but hear us out.
3 Reasons Why We Need to Meet
(Either through a zoom video call or a meet-up)
You just want to look at the numbers… you got no time… you don’t want to meet strangers.
Perhaps you’re here because you were doing research online or came looking for more information when someone – friend or agent – told you about this.
So you may thinking, “just email the comparison and quotes to me!“
As consumers ourselves, we understand the convenience of that.
But a mere comparison table will not help you make a concrete decision (one that you can set in stone).
Here are 3 reasons why there’s a need to meet:
1) Give Accurate Recommendations
Can you be absolutely sure of what you want? Could there be something that you may have missed?
A wrong decision might lead to a lifetime of regrets.
If you go to a doctor and without asking you anything, the doctor gives you medicine for this, this and this.
Would you have full confidence in the solution? No.
And that’s why there’s a need to understand your situation first before we give a recommendation – we’re not in the business of pushing products.
2) Requirement of MAS
In the Financial Advisers Act, it is stated that in order for a recommendation to be made, information on the client has to be gathered first.
Any inaccurate or incomplete information may affect the suitability of the recommendation.
Over the years, MAS has imposed stricter regulations to ultimately protect Singaporeans (and that includes you).
It is there for a reason and that is to ensure that you don’t end up with an unsuitable plan.
3) Touch on Fine Prints
What’s the purpose of a comparison table?
It’s to present information in an organised and simple way, so that you can make a decision based on it.
But can you really make an informed decision from it?
If you can easily do that, there wouldn’t be a need for two-digit pages of policy documents (for just one plan).
There are fine prints and clauses that might make or break your decision.
And that’s why we meet to not only show you the comparisons but to go through any critical pointers that you must be aware of.
We don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver.
