PICTURE A MARKET OF UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES
Results from a recent survey* conducted by Great Eastern show that:
- About 71% of Singaporeans today are aware of the importance of insurance as a financial safeguard for their families, as a result of global events like the Iraq War, SARS and the economic downturn.
- 69% are not adequately covered nor are they building their retirement egg-nest because they are confused by the overwhelming number of insurance plans
in the markets.
-33% think that retirement planning is all about working and saving.
- 61% are banking on only their CPF and personal savings for their retirement.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR LIFE PLANNERS:
- More people are aware of the importance of financial planning
- There is a growing demand for more professional financial planning
- The industry needs sophisticated service providers
All in all, there is never a better time to tap the potential of the market!

(*The survey was conducted among 2,420 respondents to better understand the insurance and financial planning needs of Singaporeans.)
