Limited Offer: 1.48% p.a. Guaranteed upon Maturity with NTUC Income’s Gro Capital Ease; Use of SRS Allowed (October 2021)
If you are unfamiliar with the name, Gro Capital Ease is a single-premium non-participating, 3-year endowment insurance plan offered by NTUC Income. It offers a guaranteed yield at maturity of 1.48% p.a.¹ that will be paid out at the end of the 3-year policy term.
