With So Many Integrated Shield Plans Available

How Do You Decide Which to Choose? All Singaporeans are covered by MediShield Life for the most basic of medical coverage. But on top of MediShield Life, an estimated two-thirds of Singaporeans are also paying for an integrated shield plan (IP) from one of 7 private insurers: AIA Healthshield Gold Max Aviva MyShield AXA Shield Great Eastern Supreme Health NTUC IncomeShield Prudential PruShield Raffles Shield Each insurer offers a few options for their integrated shield plans, which means Singaporeans looking for an IP will have over 25 options to choose from. That sounds daunting, but making your decision is actually easier than it seems.

It is also about being ready for the little things that crop up along the way. It’s about being financially resilient as a family unit. There are o...

The Grand Crypto Party – You’re Invited, But Should You Go?

They say, put your money where your mouth is, and some people these days are having mouthfuls of cryptocurrency for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Why the rising appetite for crypto? Let me first explain about this new investment conundrum that has gone from two-bit curiosity to virtually impossible to ignore. What is cryptocurrency? Simply put, it is virtual money, the currency that operates on the decentralised blockchain platform. Its value is not determined in traditional ways such as by government control or by the price of a commodity like gold. Instead, the value of cryptocurrency is determined by open transactions in the digital sphere amongst the cryptocurrency community. It cannot be counterfeited or double-spent, and since it is not issued by any central bank, it is free of governmental interference. However, that very feature robs crypto of any sovereign guarantee, making it a high-risk asset. Trading and exchange-rate volatility compound this risk. On the positives, crypto’...
