Short premium payment term to achieve financial goals with ease
HONG KONG, April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AXA Hong Kong and Macau (AXA) today announced the launch of 5-Year GoalSaver, a non-participating savings plan that helps customers to achieve fast-track short-term financial goals with life protection for a peace of mind.
With market-leading[1] guaranteed returns of up to 4.5% p.a.[2] upon a short maturity period of 5 years, the new 5-Year GoalSaver offers an extra short premium payment term of just 2 years with an annual premium as low as USD 625. This allows customers to fuel their wealth without the burden of a long-term payment commitment. If customers choose to pay the plan's total annual premium in one go3 at the time of application, they can even enjoy a premium discount of 20.6% on the annual premium of the second policy year, enabling greater flexibility in extra savings.
Janet Lee, Chief Life and Health Insurance Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said, 'Amid the current market uncertainty, we understand that it is our customers' desire to balance their portfolios and lock in stable returns to fulfil different savings targets. The new "5-Year GoalSaver" provides competitive guaranteed returns with extra flexibility, enabling customers to cope with an ever-changing market and build their wealth with ease. It is a testament to AXA's commitment to putting customers first and matching their needs with our innovative products and services.'
