How does FWD Invest First Plus surrender charge work?

The surrender charge is calculated by multiplying the initial units account value by the applicable surrender charge depending on the policy year at the point of surrender. The surrender charge will be deducted from the policy value prior to your pay out.

E.g. Mr. Lim a 25-year premium payment term FWD Invest First Plus policy. He decides to surrender his policy in policy year 9, month 10.

• Policy surrender year: Year 9 (rounded down from 9 years and 10 months)
• Applicable surrender charge: 83%
• Initial units account value: S$50,000; Accumulation units account value: S$220,000

Surrender charge = applicable surrender charge x initial units account value

= 83%  x S$50,000

= S$41,500

Surrender value = (initial units account value – surrender charge) + accumulation units account value

= (S$50,000 – S$41,500) + S$220,000

= S$228,500
