2019.03.08

Hong Kong, 8 March 2019 - Fubon Life Insurance (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("Fubon Life") announced today the official launch of Prosperity Booster Whole Life Plan 2 ("Prosperity Booster 2"), an insurance plan designed for long-term savings to help fulfill the financial goals of the mass affluent segment at different life stages.
 

"Customers nowadays have more sophisticated needs and they are seeking for a financial plan that can cater to their longer-term view in managing wealth. The launch of Prosperity Booster 2 aims to meet customers' aspirations beyond one generation and it helps customers achieve their multiple objectives simply through one single policy," Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Patricia Wong said.
 

The plan is available for customers who are of age between 15 days to 60. Different premium payment terms at 3 / 5 / 10 years and policy currency, HK or US dollars, are provided to enable customers to pay up the plan within a defined period. The plan offers Guaranteed Cash Value and non-guaranteed annual dividends1 that allow customers to accumulate savings1 with the non-guaranteed interest rate at the policy or pass down their wealth to the next generation.
 

Key benefits with Prosperity Booster Whole Life Plan 2:

  • Potential Attractive Returns: With Prosperity Booster 2, customers will receive guaranteed cash values and non-guaranteed annual dividends to achieve asset appreciation over the long term. For policies with accumulated dividends1, an interest rate of 3.9% per annum is currently offered to enhance the potential return. The plan also provides non-guaranteed terminal dividend2 which will be added to the policy values upon policy surrender, maturity or claim3 as long as the policy has been in force for 10 years or more.
    Customers applying for a policy with the nominated amount up to a certain level can also enjoy a premium discount4 of 3% - 6% to help bring additional value to the policy.
  • A Policy that is not only for you but also for your next generation: Unlike traditional insurance plans, Prosperity Booster 2 allows customers to enjoy the Change of Insured Person Option5 for unlimited times, which extends of the Policy length for wealth accumulation and enables the passing of wealth and protection without the need to apply for a new policy. It enables a Policy to continue in force and pass onto the next generation. An illustrative example below will exemplify how it works.
  • Insurance Protection: In an unfortunate event of a severe accident or illness which leads to a condition defined as "Total Permanent Disability" 6 of the Insured Person (who is also the Policyowner), unpaid future premiums will be waived7. For Policyowner who sets up the policy for a minor to be the Insured Person, unpaid future premiums will be waived7 if "Total Permanent Disability" 6 or death unfortunately happens. The benefit will ensure the financial plan can remain intact.

 

Illustrative Example:

Mr Cheung, age 35, would like to start a Prosperity Booster 2 when his son is born:

Policy Issue Year: 2019
Policyowner: Mr Cheung, age 35
Insured Person: Son of Mr Cheung, age 0
Annual Premium: US$100,000
Nominated Amount: US$531,915
Payment Period: 5 years

With a total premium payment of US$500,000, Mr Cheung aims to save for an education fund for future use and to achieve asset appreciation over the long term. The projected values shall help achieve several key financial objectives for the family through withdrawal8:

When Mr Cheung's son reaches his age of 18-22, he can provide a withdrawal8 of US$500,000 for his son's overseas study ;

When Mr Cheung is at age 60, he can further apply a withdrawal8 of US$500,000 as his retirement fund;

When Mr Cheung is at age 80, he can arrange to change the Policyowner to be his son (who is at age 45 at that time) and his grandson, who is at age 5, as the Insured Person. The Policy could now extend to cover another generation for the family till the age of 138 of the grandson;

The Policy can further provide an education fund for the grandson when he reaches 18-22 by a withdrawal8 of US$1m;

At age 65, Mr Cheung's son retires. He can further make a withdrawal (assume the withdrawal8 to be US$1m). The Policy continues to help manage the wealth for the family from one generation to another.
