What Are Traded Endowments?

Traded endowments policies, or second hand endowments, are in-force insurance policies procured from individual policy holders who do not wish to continue with their policies.

After ensuring that they're free from encumbrance, TES makes these policies available to sophisticated buyers in Singapore.

Traded endowment policy from TES are free from front-loaded distribution costs (i.e., agency fees), which are a hefty expense embedded in newly issued policies. 

When you invest in a policy from TES, you become the legal owner and beneficiary of the original endowment policy and will receive the full cash value from the insurer once the policy matures or the insured person passes away.

Depending on the remaining tenure of the policy you purchase, annualised returns are healthy, as high as 7% per year.

Traded endowments are gaining popularity as a low-risk and easily-accessible alternative to traditional investments in bonds, stocks and fixed deposits for portfolio diversification and long term wealth preservation.

Wonderful Opportunity - Can't Thank You Enough!

"When I first came across traded endowments, I was quite curious as to see if it was really an alternative to fixed deposits.

After spending many hours studying the materials from TES and the MAS website, as well as speaking to officers from AIA and Prudential, I felt confident to proceed with a small traded endowment investment with a very short tenure (6 months to maturity).

I've just received the full payout from the insurer and in less than one year the returns are much higher than expected and with such low risk! Just writing in to say, thanks Shawn and team for the opportunity, as you can see I've taken up another 5 resale policies from you."

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful opportunity, I can't thank you enough. God bless!

"All paperwork was done officially... I felt confident!" 

"Thanks a lot for sharing this opportunity. I've been a bond investor for many years and a firm believer in risk avoidance. To be honest I have never heard of this company but after carefully checking out the reputation of TES I felt confident to look at the policies they had available at the time (Sep 2019).

I have been holding bonds of financial institutions and after research I realised that buying endowment policies is actually slightly safer as the policies themselves are guaranteed by the insurers. So I took over two traded endowment policies and one life policy from TES. All paperwork was done officially with the insurance company and I'm really happy to have found this good alternative to add to my bond portfolio."

“Perfect for my son's university in 7 years time!"

"God willing, my son should be entering to university in seven years time and I could not find a insurance savings with short expiry. It's lucky I found about TES from my boss, after I spoke to Mr Shawn I felt comfortable as he was very patient and gave me some good advice. Now I have bought a 7 years endowment plan for my son. I do recommend this for those who find buying new policies restrictive and inflexible, and I have only good things to say about TES. It was not just a pleasure but a joy to be helped by Shawn."
