Wakalah
This plan applies the wakalah (agency) concept, where all Certificate Holders appoint AmMetLife Takaful as a wakeel (agent) to act on their behalf to invest and manage the Participant Investment Fund (“PIF”) and Participants Risk Fund (“PRF”). AmMetLife Takaful is entitled to a wakalah fee for managing and investing the funds.

Qardh
This is an interest-free loan from AmMetLife Takaful in the event that the PRF is in deficit. The loan will be paid from the future surplus arising from the PRF.
The main difference is that, with a takaful based investment-linked plan, the allocated contribution for investment purposes is invested in Shariah-approved funds. In addition, the plan enables you to benefit from the net surplus (if any) that is available in the PRF by crediting additional unit(s) into the PIF.
AmMetLife Takaful allocates a portion of the contribution to purchase units in the investment-linked fund that you have chosen. Any unallocated amount (wakalah fee) will be used to pay commissions to agents/financial advisers and other expenses of AmMetLife Takaful.
Your takaful certificate will continue to be in force as long as the value of invested units in the PIF is sufficient to be deducted for the basic plan tabarru’ and other charges. In case it is not, the takaful certificate will lapse after 30 days of grace period.
You may choose to have coverage either up to 70, 80 or 100 years old, subject to minimum coverage term of 20 years.
The minimum annual contribution is RM1,800. However, it may vary depending on your contribution payment term, sum covered and our underwriting decision.
You may choose the contribution payment term according to your needs and preference from a choice of 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or up to your coverage term chosen (full pay).
- A wakalah fee (unallocated amount) is charged to your contributions before the remaining amount is allocated into your PIF. This amount is used to pay our expenses and direct distribution cost, including the commission payable to agent.

While your certificate is still inforce, you are entitled to earn loyalty bonus in the form of increasing Basic Sum Covered by 2% of initial Basic Sum Covered every 2 certificate years starting from the end of second (2nd) certificate year until the end of 10th certificate year. The loyalty bonus will be accumulated to your Basic Sum Covered and the accumulated amount will paid in one lump sum upon death or TPD of the participant. In the event of accidental death, the Basic Sum Covered shall be paid corresponding to the Accidental Death Benefit, subject to terms and conditions.
However, this benefit will be ceased upon approved TPD claim or partial withdrawal have been made; whichever is earlier. Upon such event, no further loyalty bonus will be payable and your Basic Sum Covered will remain throughout the certificate term.
The minimum partial withdrawal amount is RM1,000 and the minimum account value after partial withdrawal in the PIF is RM2,000. The account value in PIF and basic sum covered will be reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal. If the basic sum covered after the partial withdrawal is less than the minimum sum covered of RM250,000, AmMetLife Takaful reserves the right to treat your withdrawal as full surrender. Upon full surrender, the account value in PIF is payable and the certificate terminates.
You can track the unit prices that are published daily in our website and quarterly in major newspapers.
Once a certificate has a unit balance going to zero for all funds, a grace period of thirty (30) days is given to the Certificate Holder to pay the contribution or top up the certificate. In case the grace period ends, the certificate will lapse. The Certificate Holder is allowed to reinstate the certificate and is subjected to the normal reinstatement rules and procedures applicable at that time.
