Return structure and key concepts

Understand where the value comes from in 5 minutes

GlobalFlexi is a participating savings policy. The end value combines guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed dividends. The guaranteed portion grows slowly but forms the safety base, while dividends drive the long-term upside. Looking only at “6.5%” can hide that structure.

Single pay vs 5-year pay mainly changes cash-flow timing. Single pay puts the full amount to work from year one and usually breaks even faster. 5-year pay spreads the burden and preserves liquidity, suitable for steady income planning.

IRR is an annualized return metric for multiple cash flows. For participating policies, IRR varies by holding period and dividend realization. We show conservative/base/optimistic ranges so you can see the possible band rather than a single number.

Withdrawal strategy matters. Early or heavy withdrawals reduce compounding and extend break-even. Define your goal year first, then set a safe withdrawal rate and keep a buffer for protection needs.

GlobalFlexi offers multi-currency switching, which can help with overseas education or diversification. Switching introduces FX risk and plan differences, so align it with your future spending currency.

Dividend lock/unlock options can convert part of non-guaranteed gains into a more stable form. Locking improves stability but may reduce upside, useful when you are closer to the target year.

Flexible withdrawals and value protection accounts add liquidity, but withdrawals reduce policy value and death benefit. Always check the official rules before relying on a withdrawal plan.

Legacy planning features such as policy splitting and beneficiary arrangements help distribute assets, but they involve legal and tax considerations and should be confirmed with professionals.

The guaranteed/non-guaranteed split helps you see where returns come from. A higher non-guaranteed share means higher potential returns and higher volatility.

Before deciding, clarify your holding period, withdrawal needs, and protection or estate goals. Then adjust the plan with an advisor based on real cash flow.

If you plan to use funds within 20-30 years, prioritize break-even and liquidity. Longer horizons should focus on compounding and volatility tolerance.

Participating policies are not short-term savings products. They work best for long-term goals with sufficient buffer.

Return sources
  • • Guaranteed cash value provides the base layer
  • • Reversionary and terminal dividends drive growth
  • • Lock/unlock options affect liquidity timing
Break-even & withdrawal
  • • Expected break-even around 7 years, guaranteed 15-20 years
  • • Earlier withdrawals reduce compounding
  • • Consider a 4-5% withdrawal rate as a guideline
Who it fits
  • • Long-term wealth accumulation and education funding
  • • Multi-currency allocation and legacy planning
  • • Preference for stable, explainable structure
