Sun Critical Illness Insurance (Sun CII) Quick Compare:

In addition to the information above, you should be aware of the following regarding the Sun CII Quick compare.

• When illustrating Sun CII, your Payment period may be either limited pay or non-limited pay. The Quick Compare information that you see will depend on the Payment period you have selected in the Coverage details section. If you have selected a limited payment period (such as 10 or 15 years), the comparison will include all of the limited payment period options. If you have selected a non-limited payment period (such as to age 75 or to age 100), the comparison will include all of the non-limited payment period options. See examples below.

• Sun CII has an optional benefit called the Return of premium on cancellation (or expiry). If you have selected this benefit, then the cost of this benefit will be displayed in the Quick Compare.
  Important! The ROPC/E premiums that are displayed are already included in the total policy premium directly above it. You do not need to add the 2 premiums together.
