Enjoy the certainty of savings for the future


We would all like the peace of mind that financial security brings. And one of the ways to
achieve such an outcome is to save regularly over the long term. But if you are just starting
out in life, or if you are heading into the final stretch of your career, committing to a long-term
savings plan may be daunting.

That’s why we have designed AIA Smart Growth (II). It’s a regular premium savings plan that
allows you to pay off your premiums faster, while helping to save for the things that matter
most. Whether your goals include saving for your child’s education, planning the holiday of a
lifetime, or saving for retirement, AIA Smart Growth (II) is a smart way to save. Plus, it has the
added benefit of offering life insurance protection too.
AIA SMART GROWTH (II) SAVINGS | 02

Benefits of this plan include:

Potential to earn attractive returns


Your plan has the potential to grow with discretionary annual bonuses1 that may be added to
your policy each year. A terminal bonus1 may also be added to your policy when you make a
claim or when the policy matures or is surrendered.

Protect your family while saving for their future


Most Singaporeans are underinsured2 and families can face financial hardship if the
breadwinner passes away prematurely. If you die or suffer from Total and Permanent Disability
(TPD) before age 70, you would have the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones will
receive the insured amount plus any bonuses after deducting any amount owing to us.

Extra protection against critical illness


If you are concerned about the impact of critical illness, you may opt to enhance your protection
with a critical illness rider which accelerates the benefit of AIA Smart Growth (II) in the event of
a diagnosis of any one of the covered critical illnesses3.

Option to purchase additional insurance (OPAI) Benefit


As we get older, it can be more difficult to be accepted into an insurance policy. AIA Smart
Growth (II) gives you the valuable option to purchase an additional whole life or endowment
policy, without any evidence of insurability4.

Choose a maturity term that’s aligned with your goal


AIA Smart Growth (II) offers a flexible choice of policy terms: 18, 21 or 24 years to suit your
financial objectives.

Pay premiums for only 12 years


AIA Smart Growth (II) gives you a smart advantage over traditional regular premium savings
plans, where your total premiums will be paid fully in just 12 years. What’s more, your
premiums are guaranteed never to increase throughout the 12 years, regardless of your age or
health status.

Optional riders for more comprehensive coverage


You may add riders which provide coverage for medical expenses, and coverage against
accidents to this plan according to your needs.

Important Notes:
This insurance plan is underwritten by AIA Singapore Private Limited (Reg. No. 201106386R) (“AIA”). All
insurance applications are subject to AIA’s underwriting and acceptance. This brochure is not a contract
of insurance. The precise terms and conditions of this plan, including exclusions whereby the benefits
under your policy may not be paid out, are specified in the policy contract. You are advised to read the
policy contract.

Buying a life insurance policy can be a long-term commitment. An early termination of the policy
usually involves high costs and the surrender value payable may be less than the total premiums paid.
You should consider carefully before terminating the policy or switching to a new one as there may be
disadvantages in doing so. The new policy may cost more or have fewer benefits at the same cost.
