"Fu bu guo san dai" - this is a Chinese proverb which when translated, refers to the difficulty of transferring a family's wealth beyond the third generation. This could be due to the failure of a business, lack of succession planning or an economic downturn. While no one wishes for this to happen, the future is unpredictable with it difficult to foresee potential obstacles. Therefore, to ensure that your wealth is passed on to not just your dependents but also to future generations, it is important for you to plan your legacy. In this article, we explain the importance of legacy planning and how a 3 Generation (3G) plan can ensure that your wealth is passed on to future generations.

What are 3 Generation (3G) plans?

A whole life insurance, 3G plans are designed to provide wealth for 3 generations. This works by supplying the first two generations with a stream of income and leaving a lump sum inheritance for the third generation.

(See "The Fundamentals Of Protection Planning")

Who needs 3G plans?

If you are worried about the transfer of wealth to future generations, then a 3G plan is for you. Designed as the solution to wealth preservation and transfer, 3G plans not only guarantees that your grandchildren will receive an inheritance, but also provides you and/or your child with a lifelong stream of income. This can be reinvested with the insurer to accumulate interest for the third generation or used by you and/or your child as retirement income and/or lifestyle expenses.

3G Plans are suitable for:

  • Wealth preservation
  • 3 generation planning (i.e. transferring your wealth to future generations)
  • Lifelong guaranteed pay-outs
  • Death coverage
  • 3G Plans are not suitable for:

  • Health coverage

    Why 3G plans?

    While most of us are familiar with the term legacy planning, few may actually take the necessary steps to do so. This is due to legacy planning often being neglected with many failing to realise the importance of passing wealth on to future generations rather than just your dependents. A financial strategy, legacy planning distributes wealth according to your wishes after you pass on. This differs from merely leaving an inheritance for your dependents as it ensures that your wealth will remain in the family for many generations to come.

    How can 3G plans help?

    While legacy planning may sound complicated, 3G plans actually offer a simple and fuss-free way of doing so. Should there unfortunately be a business failure or economic downturn, the inheritance of your grandchildren would remain unaffected. This provides assurance knowing that your grandchildren and future generations are guaranteed your legacy.
