## 先弄懂结构
- [什么是 VUL（可变万能寿险）：结构、运作、成本与风险](/overview/): 可变万能寿险（VUL）是把终身身故保障与由保单持有人选择、承担投资风险的投资账户装进同一张保单的长期寿险。本文从定义出发，依次讲四方结构、保费如何变成账户价值、费用从哪里扣、哪些是保证哪些不是、与 IUL、UL、ILP、PPLI 的区别，以及适合与不适合的人。
- [VUL 的合同结构：保单持有人、受保人、保险公司、托管银行与资产管理人](/structure/): VUL 与普通寿险最大的不同，是合同里多了托管银行与资产管理人两个角色。本文逐一说明保单持有人、受保人、保险公司、托管银行、资产管理人各自的权利与责任，资产转入后在谁名下、受益权归谁，投资授权（Investment Mandate）如何约束交易，保险公司为什么不提供投资建议，以及更换托管行或管理人要经过什么流程。
- [VUL 的子账户与投资选项：从保险公司基金池到自选投资授权](/sub-accounts/): VUL 的现金价值不在保险公司一般账户里，而是放在与之分离的投资账户。本文区分两类做法：零售型 VUL/ILP 的保险公司基金池（子账户、ILP 子基金），与高净值 VUL 的自选投资授权，并说明常见的可接受资产条件、集中度上限、最低现金比例、禁止资产与“实物资产转入”的含义。
- [VUL 的费用：保费费用、保单费、行政费、保险成本与退保费用](/charges/): VUL 的费用分两层：保单层（保费费用、保单费、行政费、保险成本 COI、部分提取费、退保费用）与资产层（托管费、资产管理费、交易费）。本文逐项解释计费基数、收取方式与时间，说明保险成本为何按“净风险保额”而不是全额保额计算，退保费用为何前几年最高，费用上调如何通知，以及账户不足以扣费的后果。
- [VUL 的保证与非保证：身故赔偿、账户价值、演示回报与保单失效](/guarantees/): VUL 唯一接近“保证”的是身故赔偿公式，而账户价值完全不保证。本文说明两种常见身故赔偿公式（保额与账户价值取高 / 账户价值加固定金额）、演示回报率的性质与 LIA 对 0% 情景的要求、保单失效如何发生、“保证承保”保证的是签发而不是投资结果，以及保单持有人保障计划（PPF）保 VUL 的哪一部分。

## 比较与判断
- [VUL vs IUL vs UL vs ILP vs PPLI vs 分红终身寿：同口径对比](/compare/): 同为“寿险 + 现金价值”，VUL、IUL、UL、零售 ILP、PPLI 与分红终身寿在谁决定投资、谁承担风险、有没有下限、费用结构、门槛、流动性、能否融资、适合谁上差别很大。本文用一张十二维对比表与逐项解释，帮助读者先定位需要的是哪一类，再看具体产品。
- [VUL 与保费融资：为什么自选授权型 VUL 通常不能融资，想要杠杆有哪些路径](/premium-financing/): 保费融资是用保单及其他认可资产向银行借款支付部分保费。本文解释为什么以自选投资组合为底层、资产由托管行专户持有的高净值 VUL 通常不被银行接受为融资标的，哪些寿险（如趸交 IUL/UL）才是常见对象，融资本身的成本与风险要点，持有 VUL 又想要杠杆的两条路径，以及港新两地监管口径的差异。
- [投保 VUL 前的 12 项核对清单](/checklist/): 在签任何 VUL 文件之前，先用这 12 项把自己核对一遍：投资者资格、资金用途与年限、可投入资产是否合规、现金与费用承受力、身故赔偿公式、演示回报的三种情景、退保与提取规则、托管与管理人安排、受益与持有结构、税务居民与 CRS、冷静期与 PPF，以及谁来做年度检视。
- [VUL 适合谁：五个典型场景与不适合的情形](/scenarios/): VUL 不是给所有高净值家庭的。本文用五个匿名化、假设化的场景说明它常被讨论的用途——企业主的传承流动性、已有全权委托组合的家庭、多代持有与信托衔接、持有美元资产的跨境家庭、看重投资自主的成熟投资者——并明确写出不适合的情形：几年内要用钱、要求保本、不能承担补充现金的人。

## 落地与管理
- [VUL 投保流程：从资格确认到资产转入与年度检视](/process/): 高净值 VUL 的投保比普通寿险多了“资产预评估”和“托管与管理人委任”两段。本文按七个步骤说明每一步要准备什么文件、谁来做、大约要多久、常见卡点：需求与资格确认、利益演示与产品摘要、资产清单预评估、核保（FMU/GIO）、管理人与托管安排、缴费与资产转入、生效后的年度检视。
- [VUL 的核保：全面体检核保（FMU）与保证承保（GIO）怎么选](/underwriting/): 高净值 VUL 常提供两条核保路径：全面体检核保（FMU）换取较高的身故保额与末期疾病提前给付，或保证承保（GIO）免体检、保额较低但流程简单。本文比较两者在身故赔偿公式、保额、附加保障、年龄范围、保险成本计算方式上的差别，说明财务核保看什么，以及多受保人、更换受保人与可保利益的要求。
- [用 VUL 做传承：多持有人、多受保人、受益人提名与信托/VCC 持有](/legacy/): VUL 之所以被放进传承讨论，不只因为身故赔偿，而是它允许多位持有人与受保人、可更换受保人、可由信托或公司实体持有，并能以现金或资产形式给付。本文解释这些条款的含义与限制，新加坡受益人提名（信托提名 vs 可撤销提名）的规则与适用边界，以及保单由信托、家族办公室或 VCC 持有时要核对的可保利益、治理与税务问题。
- [VUL 的税务与申报要点：新加坡税制、CRS、美国资产与跨境提醒](/tax-crs/): VUL 涉及三层税务与申报问题：新加坡本地（无遗产税、一般不征资本利得税、人寿保险赔偿的处理）、跨境信息交换（现金价值保单是 CRS 应报告账户，保险公司按年末现金或退保价值申报）、底层资产所在地（例如美国公司股票对非居民的遗产税）。本文只讲规则框架与常见误区，提醒读者按所在税务居民地取得专业意见。

## 查阅与核验
- [VUL 常见问题](/faq/): 关于可变万能寿险（VUL）在新加坡的 40 个常见问题，按基础概念、投资与账户、费用与保证、投保与核保、传承税务与申报、融资与比较六组整理。每条先给结论再给依据，区分保证与非保证、法规与实务；涉及数字一律注明单位、币种、日期与来源，具体条款以保险公司产品摘要与保单合同为准。

## EN edition
- [VUL Charges: Premium Charge, Policy Fee, Administration Charge, Cost of Insurance and Surrender Charge](/en/charges/): VUL charges fall into two layers: the policy level (premium charge, policy fee, administration charge, cost of insurance (COI), partial withdrawal charge, surrender charge) and the asset level (custody fee, asset management fee, transaction costs). This article explains the basis, method and timing of each charge, why COI is calculated on the net amount at risk rather than the full sum assured, why surrender charges are highest in the early years, how increases are notified, and what happens when the account cannot cover charges.
- [A 12-Point Checklist Before Taking Out a VUL](/en/checklist/): Before signing any VUL document, check yourself against these 12 points: investor eligibility, purpose and horizon of the money, whether the assets you plan to put in are eligible, capacity for cash and charges, the death benefit formula, the three illustration scenarios, surrender and withdrawal rules, custody and manager arrangements, ownership and beneficiary structure, tax residence and CRS, the free-look period and PPF, and who carries out the annual review.
- [VUL vs IUL vs UL vs ILP vs PPLI vs Participating Whole Life: A Like-for-Like Comparison](/en/compare/): All six are life insurance with a cash value, yet VUL, IUL, UL, retail ILP, PPLI and participating whole life differ greatly on who decides the investments, who bears the risk, whether there is a floor, charge structure, entry requirements, liquidity, financing eligibility and suitability. This article uses a twelve-dimension comparison table and item-by-item explanation to help readers decide which category they need before looking at specific products.
- [VUL in Singapore: Frequently Asked Questions](/en/faq/): Sixteen questions on variable universal life (VUL) in Singapore: basics, investments, charges and guarantees, application, legacy and tax, with sourced figures.
- [VUL Glossary (English and Chinese)](/en/glossary/): More than 60 terms on variable universal life (VUL), given in English with the Chinese equivalent and arranged in six groups: basic concepts, structure and roles, account and investments, charges, policy terms and benefits, and regulation and tax. Each entry is a short, neutral definition, covering the core vocabulary from account value, investment mandate and cost of insurance to the PPF, CRS and trust nomination, for quick reference and citation.
- [VUL Guarantees and Non-guarantees: Death Benefit, Account Value, Illustrated Returns and Policy Lapse](/en/guarantees/): The only thing in a VUL that comes close to a guarantee is the death benefit formula; the account value is not guaranteed at all. This article explains the two common death benefit formulae (the higher of sum assured and account value, or account value plus a fixed amount), the nature of illustrated returns and LIA's 0% scenario requirement, how a policy lapses, what guaranteed issue does and does not guarantee, and which part of a VUL the Policy Owners' Protection Scheme (PPF) covers.
- [Using a VUL for Legacy Planning: Multiple Owners and Lives Assured, Nominations, and Trust or VCC Ownership](/en/legacy/): A VUL enters legacy discussions not only for its death benefit but because it allows several policy owners and lives assured, a change of life assured, ownership by a trust or corporate entity, and payment in cash or in kind. This page explains what those terms mean and where they stop, the Singapore rules on nominating beneficiaries (trust nomination versus revocable nomination), and what to check on insurable interest, governance and tax when a trust, family office or VCC owns the policy.
- [Variable Universal Life in Singapore: English Summary](/en/): English summary of VUL in Singapore: four-party structure, charges, what is and is not guaranteed, differences from IUL, UL, ILP and PPLI, and who it suits.
- [VUL and Premium Financing: Why a Self-directed VUL Usually Cannot Be Financed, and What Routes Exist to Leverage](/en/premium-financing/): Premium financing means borrowing from a bank, secured on the policy and other approved assets, to pay part of the premium. This article explains why a high-net-worth VUL backed by a self-selected portfolio held in a custody account is usually not accepted by banks as a financing object, which life policies (such as single-premium IUL/UL) are the common objects, the cost and risk points of financing itself, two routes for someone who holds a VUL and still wants leverage, and how regulation differs between Hong Kong and Singapore.
- [How to Apply for a VUL: From Eligibility to Asset Transfer and Annual Review](/en/process/): A high-net-worth VUL application has two stages that ordinary life insurance does not: asset pre-assessment, and the appointment of a custodian bank and asset manager. Seven steps are set out here, with the documents needed, who does what, typical timing and common stumbling blocks, from eligibility and illustration through underwriting (FMU/GIO) and asset transfer to the annual review.
- [Who Is VUL For: Five Typical Scenarios and Situations Where It Is Not Suitable](/en/scenarios/): VUL is not for every high-net-worth family. Using five anonymised, hypothetical scenarios, this article explains where it is commonly discussed: legacy liquidity for a business owner, a family with an existing discretionary portfolio, multi-generational holding linked to a trust, a cross-border family holding US-dollar assets, and an experienced investor who values investment autonomy. It also sets out where VUL is not suitable: people who need the money within a few years, who require capital protection, or who cannot top up cash.
- [Master List of Sources](/en/sources/): The register of official documents and pages cited across vul.sg, grouped under regulation and legislation, consumer education and industry guides, tax and reporting, industry data, overseas regulatory references, and media and secondary sources, giving the publisher, title, date, link, use and verification status of each; items still to be verified are marked separately.
- [VUL Contract Structure: Policy Owner, Life Assured, Insurer, Custodian Bank and Asset Manager](/en/structure/): What sets a VUL apart from ordinary life insurance is two extra roles in the contract: the custodian bank and the asset manager. This article sets out the rights and duties of the policy owner, life assured, insurer, custodian and manager; whose name the assets sit under and who holds the beneficial rights once transferred; how the Investment Mandate constrains trading; why the insurer gives no investment advice; and what it takes to change custodian or manager.
- [VUL Sub-accounts and Investment Options: From the Insurer's Fund Range to a Self-directed Investment Mandate](/en/sub-accounts/): A VUL's cash value is not held in the insurer's general account but in an investment account kept separate from it. This article distinguishes two approaches: the insurer's fund range in retail VUL/ILP products (sub-accounts and ILP sub-funds) and the self-directed Investment Mandate of a high-net-worth VUL. It also explains the usual eligible-asset conditions, concentration limits, minimum cash ratio, prohibited assets and what an in-specie transfer means.
- [Tax and Reporting for a VUL: Singapore Tax, the CRS, US Assets and Cross-Border Points](/en/tax-crs/): A VUL raises three layers of tax and reporting questions: Singapore's own rules (no estate duty, generally no tax on capital gains, and how life insurance proceeds are treated), cross-border information exchange (a cash value policy is a CRS reportable account, and the insurer reports the year-end cash or surrender value each year), and the rules of the place where the underlying assets are situated (for example US estate tax on US company shares held by a non-resident). This page covers the framework and common misconceptions only, and reminds readers to take advice in their own jurisdiction of tax residence.
- [Underwriting a VUL: Choosing Between Full Medical Underwriting (FMU) and Guaranteed Issue Offer (GIO)](/en/underwriting/): High-net-worth VULs often offer two underwriting routes: Full Medical Underwriting (FMU), which trades a medical examination for a higher death benefit and an advance payment on terminal illness, or a Guaranteed Issue Offer (GIO), which needs no examination but carries a lower sum assured and a simpler process. This page compares them on death benefit formula, sum assured, riders, age range and cost of insurance, explains what financial underwriting looks at, and sets out the rules on multiple lives assured, changing the life assured and insurable interest.
