MyRetirement is a regular premium endowment plans that gives you a monthly income (min $500/month) for ten years upon your retirement age (choice of 50, 55, 60 or 65) and a lump sum maturity payout thereafter.

Based on the benefit illustrations, the yield of the guaranteed monthly income can be as high as 2.38% p.a. with another maturity payout giving the total plan a projected overall yield of 4+% p.a.
