SINGAPORE - In response to the latest economic uncertainty, Manulife Singapore has launched Signature Indexed Universal Life Select (III), "SIULS (III)", a first-in-market Indexed Universal Life (IUL) solution that offers access to expanded growth potential, extensive global diversification and robust protection.
Designed for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking to preserve, grow, and transfer wealth across generations, SIULS (III) provides access to five internationally recognised indices – including the S&P 500, S&P PRISM, S&P GSCI Gold ER Index, Hang Seng, and Euro Stoxx 50. This diversified exposure unlocks attractive upside potential while protecting policyholders from market downturns through a 0% return floor.
"With shifting global trade conditions and increasing financial unpredictability, traditional investment strategies alone may no longer suffice. Having a resilient financial strategy that can withstand market fluctuations and adapt to changing conditions has never been more crucial," said Thomas Lee, Chief Product Officer of Manulife Singapore. "As the pioneer insurer that introduced IUL solutions in Singapore, we remain committed to empowering our customers with tailored financial solutions. SIULS (III) provides the flexibility and performance needed to navigate market fluctuations while ensuring long-term financial security."
The most comprehensive IUL solution in the market
A recent Lombard Odier report revealed that 56% of Singapore’s HNWIs have gravitated towards diversification strategies to manage financial uncertainty, while 53% are turning to safer assets. SIULS (III) is built precisely to address these needs, providing an industry-leading combination of:
Competitive returns and protection
Unmatched Flexibility
Future-proofing wealth in a changing economic landscape
Beyond returns, SIULS (III) is designed for long-term wealth preservation, providing whole life coverage with customisable premium allocations. Policyholders can freely shift their premiums between Fixed Index Accounts, and within Index sub-accounts between up to 3 indices, both at the start and over time with the Account Reallocation option.6 They can make these adjustments based on their market outlook or evolving needs, ensuring they are well-positioned to enjoy continued growth even in unpredictable financial climates.
