Stanley works through SG Alliance Pte Ltd, which offers a holistic, panel-based approach:

• One contact for multiple needs: Insurance, investments, loans, and CPF topics coordinated together
• Wide product access: Through SG Alliance's panel of 30+ fund houses, 28+ insurers, and 10+ banks
• Education-first philosophy: Concepts explained clearly so you can make informed decisions

The right coverage depends on your unique circumstances. Key factors include:

• Your annual income and existing debts (mortgage, loans)
• Number of dependents and their needs
• Your lifestyle and future financial goals
• Existing employer coverage (if any)

As a general guideline, life insurance coverage is often discussed at 10–12 times your annual income. Stanley conducts a needs analysis to help determine suitable coverage for your situation, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Term Insurance:

• Coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years)
• More affordable premiums
• No cash value - pure protection
• Best for: Covering specific obligations like mortgages or children's education

Whole Life Insurance:

• Lifelong coverage that never expires
• Builds cash value over time
• Higher premiums but guaranteed payout
• Best for: Legacy planning and long-term wealth transfer

Many clients benefit from a combination of both. Stanley can help you explore the right mix based on your needs and budget.
