How Inflation Shield Works

The death or TPD benefit floor is a percentage of total basic premium paid. It auto-increases every five policy years. No extra premium, no medical, no action needed from the policy owner.

Worked Example · RM100K/yr × 3 years = RM300K total premium

Insurance Cost: Younger = Cheaper = More Compounding

Age 65RM1260.126%99.87%105%

Insurance charge taken at Scenario X, Year 1. All ages assume male, non-smoker, RM100K BSA, Bond Fund.

Key Insight
Age 18 pays RM9/year in insurance charges versus RM126 for age 65. Over ten years that is RM90 versus RM1,614 eaten by insurance. The younger the Life Assured, the more money stays in the fund compounding.

Four Client Segments

Each segment below carries its own PO-first pitch, discovery questions, pitch points, sample numbers, objection handling, and WhatsApp opener.

Segment 01

Grandparent → Grandchild (Legacy / Wealth Transfer)

PO = Grandparent (any age up to 75) · LA = Grandchild (14 days to ANB 16) · Extended Insurable Interest
PO-First Approach: "Your money works harder in three ways: (1) you control it as Policy Owner, (2) zero admin charges from Year 6 — your money grows uninterrupted, (3) proceeds bypass probate — your grandchild gets paid directly in 14 working days, no frozen accounts, no lawyers."

Discovery Questions

  1. "How many grandchildren do you have? What ages are they?"
  2. "Have you thought about how to pass assets to them without the probate headache?"
  3. "Do you have idle FD or savings you've been meaning to put somewhere more meaningful?"

Key Highlights (Inflation Shield Focus)

Sample Numbers · RM100K/yr × 3yr, Bond Fund, Child Age 5

Child's AgePolicy YearDeath Benefit FloorInsurance Cost/yrMilestone
51RM100,000<RM10Policy starts
73RM360,000<RM10Shield jumps to 120%

3026RM510,000<RM50Marriage / home
41+36+RM600,000 max<RM150Shield maxed at 200%

Death benefit floor = Inflation Shield % × RM300K total premium. Actual benefit = higher of shield floor or fund value.

"But what if I pass away before the policy matures?"
"That's exactly why we appoint a Contingent Owner — your son or daughter. They take over the policy automatically. Your grandchild's plan continues uninterrupted. And if there's no Contingent Owner, it goes through your estate, but the policy itself stays active."
"Grandchild is too young; does it make sense to buy now?"
"Actually, younger is better. At age 5 the insurance cost is less than RM10/year — almost nothing. Compare that to buying at age 25 when it costs more. Plus the Inflation Shield starts at 120% for a young LA, and your money compounds for an extra 20 years. There is a real mathematical advantage to starting early."
Segment 02

Parent → Child (Education Fund / Head Start)

PO = Parent · LA = Child below ANB 17 · Standard Insurable Interest
PO-First Approach: "As the policy owner you stay in control — you decide when to withdraw for tuition, when to top up, and which fund to invest in. From Year 5, withdrawals are free. If something happens to you, the iPay Waiver means your child's plan continues without paying another sen."

Discovery Questions

  1. "How old are your children? When do they start university?"
  2. "How much are you currently setting aside monthly for their education — FD, savings, or SSPN?"
  3. "If something happened to you tomorrow, would the education fund survive?"

vs Alpha Future (RHB's Education Plan)
Alpha Future gives 75% guaranteed maturity but is only available for child age 1–10 with eight-year payment. Wealth Advance gives 100% allocation, shorter three-year payment, Inflation Shield, and accepts child up to age 16. For parents who want flexibility plus growth, Wealth Advance wins.
"I'm already saving in SSPN / FD for my child's education."
"SSPN is great for tax relief — keep it. But SSPN gives you about 4% return and zero protection. With Wealth Advance, you get investment growth PLUS life coverage that goes up automatically. If something happens to you, SSPN stops; this plan continues with premiums waived. They complement each other — SSPN for the tax relief, Wealth Advance for the growth plus protection."
Segment 03

Young Professional (Age 25–40)

PO = Self · LA = Self · Self-coverage with maximum growth runway
PO-First Approach: "At your age, you have two unfair advantages: (1) your insurance charges are dirt cheap — RM24/year at age 30 means 99.98% of your money goes into investment, and (2) the Inflation Shield starts at the highest tier — 120% from Year 3. You literally get more for less."

Discovery Questions

  1. "Do you currently have any life insurance? What's the coverage amount versus your annual income?"
  2. "If you couldn't work for six months, how long could you sustain your lifestyle on savings alone?"
  3. "Have you started investing? What's sitting in FD or savings that isn't working hard enough?"

"I'm young; I don't need insurance yet."
"Actually, being young is exactly why you should start now. Two reasons: first, your insurance charges are the cheapest they'll ever be — RM24 today versus RM126 at age 65 for the same coverage. Second, the Inflation Shield gives your coverage 40+ years to double. If you wait till 50, you get a lower starting % and pay more in charges. This is one of those rare things in life where the earlier you start, the better the deal."
"I'd rather invest on my own — ETFs, stocks, crypto."
"Great that you're already investing. But here's what DIY investing doesn't give you: if something happens to you, your portfolio just sits there. With Wealth Advance, your family instantly gets RM360K–600K protection. Plus there's no separate investment and insurance to manage — it's one product. Think of it as your base layer of protection plus savings, then DIY invest the rest."
Segment 04

Pre-Retiree (Age 50–65)

PO = Self · LA = Self · Wealth preservation, estate planning, FD alternative
PO-First Approach: "Your RM300K in FD earns 3.5% — about RM10,500/year. With Wealth Advance, your money goes into the Bond Fund for similar stability, but on top of that you get RM360K–600K in life coverage that grows automatically. FD gives you zero protection. This gives you both — and the proceeds bypass probate."

Discovery Questions

  1. "Do you have FD maturing in the next 1–2 months? What amount?"
  2. "Have you planned how your assets will be distributed? Is there a will in place?"
  3. "If something happened to you, how long would your family wait for estate settlement — and would they have cash to cover expenses in the meantime?"

Scenario Y (5% assumed return). Cash value slightly less than FD in early years, but includes life protection worth RM345K–390K. Source: SI v4.26.

The Real Comparison
FD gives you RM348K at Year 5. RWA gives you RM324K cash value plus RM390K life protection. You are paying approximately RM24K less in cash value to get RM390K in protection. That is RM16 per RM1,000 of coverage. No standalone insurance policy is that cheap.
"At my age (60+), is it too late for insurance?"
"Actually, Wealth Advance is one of the only products that still accepts you with guaranteed issuance — no medical exam, no health questions, up to age 75. Even at age 65 the Inflation Shield starts at 105% and grows to 200%. Most products reject you after 60 or 70. This is literally your last window, and it's a good one."
"My FD is guaranteed; this isn't."
"You're right that FD returns are guaranteed. But consider this: FD also guarantees zero protection. If something happens to you, your family gets the FD amount minus tax, minus probate fees, minus 6–24 months of waiting. With Wealth Advance in Bond Fund, your capital is in a conservative investment AND your family gets RM360K–600K immediately through the nominee — no court, no lawyers."
