Stellar Whole Life Insurance: The Offshore Fixed Deposit Alternative with Guaranteed USD/SGD Returns

In today’s unpredictable financial environment, safeguarding your wealth through low risk, stable investments is more important than ever. While fixed deposits are commonly used for this purpose, Stellar Whole Life Insurance, offered by Archipelago Life Insurance Limited, presents a more comprehensive solution combining guaranteed returns, insurance protection, and foreign currency exposure in either USD or SGD.

Unlike traditional fixed deposits that are often denominated in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Stellar Whole Life Insurance offers a guaranteed crediting rate in either USD or SGD, providing stable returns while reducing exposure to MYR depreciation. This makes it an ideal tool for:

  • Hedging against currency risks
  • Diversifying wealth internationally
  • Preserving capital in uncertain markets

Note: The policy currency (USD or SGD) is selected at the time of purchase and cannot be changed later. Payouts will be made in the same currency as the premium paid.

Key Benefits of Stellar Whole Life Insurance as an Offshore Fixed Deposit Alternative

Stellar allows investors to choose between USD or SGD at the inception of the policy, offering protection from MYR volatility and enhancing international wealth allocation.

💡 Tip: To avoid forced conversion to MYR upon withdrawal, use a multi currency bank account or a platform like WISE.

Stellar offers predictable, compounding growth over fixed terms, an advantage over fixed deposit rates, which are subject to BNM’s policy decisions.

Example of Guaranteed Growth:

  • 5% p.a. for 3 years: USD 100,000 grows to USD 115,763
  • 4.75% p.a. for 5 years: USD 100,000 grows to USD 126,116

Note: Rates current as of June 2024 and subject to periodic updates.
