Types Of Takaful Funds
Participant’s Account (PA)
The contribution paid after deducting the Wakalah Fee will be credited into the PA. The PA will be managed and invested by Takaful Operator. The PA value will be based on actual performance and the investment returns are not guaranteed. The arising profit from the investment of the PA will be shared in a ratio of 90:10 between the participant and Takaful Operator (based on Mudarabah2 principle). Participant’s share will be credited into the PA. Any investment risk arising from the PA will be borne solely by the participant and the PA value may be less than the total contributions paid.
Participants’ Risk Fund (PRF)
On a monthly basis, a pre-determined Tabarru’ will be deducted from the PA into the PRF (based on Iltizam Bi Al Tabarru’3 principle) to provide for the Takaful coverage under this plan. Takaful benefits payable from the PRF are guaranteed.
Any arising surplus from the PRF will be distributed in a ratio of 50:50 between the eligible participants and Takaful Operator (based on Ju’alah4 principle). Participant’s share will be credited into the PA.
2 Mudarabah means a contract between you and us whereby you provide the capital to be managed by us for investment purpose. Any investment profit from the PA is to be shared between you and us in the ratio of 90:10. In the event of investment loss, the loss will be borne by you provided that such losses are not due to our misconduct (Ta’addi), negligence (Taqsir) or breach of specified terms (Mukhalafah Al-Shurut).
3 Iltizam Bi Al Tabarru’ means the commitment to make Tabarru’.
4 Ju’alah means an agreement in which you agree to reward us for our achievement or good performance in managing the PRF that leads to surplus of the fund.
Wakalah Fee
Wakalah Fee will depend on the financing amount to be covered, entry age, coverage term, contribution term and certificate year. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Sheet and Benefit
Illustration for further details.
Tabarru’5
Tabarru’ is a portion from the contribution payable that will be dripped from the PA and allocated into the PRF. The Tabarru’ will be used for mutual aid and assistance among the fellow participants. The amount of Tabarru’ depends on the coverage, Person Covered’s attained age, gender, occupational class and health condition. The Tabarru’ rates are non-level and are not guaranteed.
Monthly Service Fee5
RM2.50 monthly will be deducted from PA to handle the cost related to the Certificate.
Surrender Charge5
Surrender fee of RM50 will be deducted upon surrender of the Certificate.
5 We reserve the right to revise the Tabarru’, fees and charges by giving the Participant 90 days written notice prior to the next certificate anniversary.
What is ‘Takaful’?

Each participant agrees to contribute on the basis of Tabarru’ (donation) which is pooled together to provide benefits in the event of misfortune suffered by any of its participants.
How much do I need to pay and what is the contribution payment mode and method?
The amount of contribution that you have to pay depends on your coverage amount, entry age, coverage term, occupational class and health condition. Please consult our bank staff for more information on the contribution payment mode and method.
