Tokio Marine Term Life Insurance
If you are looking for a protection-focused life insurance policy, meaning one that pays out a large lump sum in the event of your death, terminal illness or TPD (or critical illness if you get a rider), then Tokio Marine’s term life insurance is more suitable.
Tokio Marine term life premiums are generally much cheaper than that of the whole life plans. For example, TM Term Assure II premiums start from $26.75 a month for a 30-year-old male (non-smoker), whereas the whole life plans start from $125 a month.
With TM Term Assure II, you will not get any savings- or investment-related benefit. It would be more for protecting your dependents against financial loss in the event that you can’t provide for them. However, you can opt to convert this plan into a whole life or endowment plan later on in life if you decide you no longer need the coverage.
