Read? When Your Bank RM Called??? (3)
After clearing his 5 years HDB housing loan 28 years ago and becoming debt free; now Uncle8888 is back into debt with his POSB Front Page showing "Cards and Loans" in RED whenever he logged in.
Interest rate payable for Month 1 is 0.99%
Countdown to Month 37 for monthly income from annuity plan. Not sure got kena snake oil into taking advantage of leveraging on lower interest rate over the next 10 years???
Hi Uncle8888,
ReplyDeleteA bit late for buyer's remorse ... free-look over... I'm guessing the first 3 years is sianz coz -ve cashflow ... no panadols for 3 years, bear the pain. 😂
Anyway, trade (or save?) according to the plan. Ehh, yours is accurate to 1 decimal place LOL.
Your plan allows for the interest rate to rise to beyond 6%, and still get XIRR of 2.5%.
Besides tracking interest rate, the other main thing is to monitor the projected return is on track.
I'm assuming the monthly payouts are guaranteed while the maturity lumpsum amount is projected.
Every 3 years, just ask them to generate the latest BI to check the projected returns.
Ha ha! Not too bad. Actually, this single premium $200k is counted towards monthly AUM for waiver of monthly service fee so it will free up $144K cash to invest.
DeleteCW,
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you made one RM happy! Kaching!
Commission for annuity just as juicy like for Endowment and Wholelife ;)
The best bang for the buck when it comes to annuities is CPF Life (I can't believe I just said that).
I hope at least you had fun flirting with the RM! Enjoy tight skirts and chiffon must pay up!
Not everything has to be money, money, money ;)
Of course it is juicy commission for all parties concerned with the product. Three years worth of Panadols for distribution to them
DeleteHi Uncle8888,
ReplyDeleteHow's the interest rate through till payout?
It is currently based on monthly SIBOR + 0.75% and will be switched to SORA + 0.75%
DeleteHi CreateWealth8888,
ReplyDeleteFrom reading your blog, it seems like you are a fan of CPF. To persuade a savvy CPF fan to buy an annuity is really quite an achievement for a salesman, even if the product is good.
If you don't mind, may I ask what is your rationale for buying the annuity? Mainly for the low interest? If interest rate shoots up later, are you allowed to exit? If yes, at what penalty?
I wish you all the best in this new annuity plan!
For this annuity plan by insurance; we may have to think along the line of CPF RSS @ 2.5% over $200K @ 65 and monthly payout after three years or Month 37. CPF RSS is also monthly capital reduction i.e. taking back our own money
ReplyDeleteHard to find anunnity plan that beat CPF RSS 4% . Matching 2.5% possible. Can use CPF OA to create our own RSS @ 2.5%
