Become sales oriented and may tell lies

1. Why is NTUC offering this Capital Plus? A non-NTUC agent said that NTUC is trying to raise funds. I am afraid they will drag for a few months and the interest will become lower than 2%

Reply: I do not know the answer.

2. Is the Growth policy a safe product ? I read NTUC has been over declaring the bonus in the past years .

Reply: It should be quite safe.

3. I had a NTUC life policy for 5 years. The surrender value stated in BI is $2200, but when I surrendered it, it was $1900. I surrender the policy to change to a limited pay whole life like Vivolife.

Reply: It is better to keep the life policy. Do not surrender it to buy another life policy, as you will be incurring the upfront cost again.

4. I am afraid the same thing may happen to the Growth policy, i.e. overpromise, under deliver. I think without you, Ntuc income has changed to be more sales oriented and have more tendency to tell lies. Don't know whether they really want to help people?
