CTF Life’s Prime Treasure Savings Insurance Plan enables customers to enjoy steady wealth growth and flexible succession planning

  • Written by Daily Sun

This innovative plan combines savings, wealth accumulation, succession planning and life insurance into one, allowing customers to manage their finances flexibly according to their personal needs, and secure a bright future for themselves and their loved ones. Continuously creating value beyond insurance, CTF Life has partnered with The GBA Healthcare Group ("GBAH"), a member of the Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited, to offer high-quality Hong Kong-style medical services in Mainland China for frequent travellers across the border.

Jarita Kwan, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, stated, "In the rapidly changing economic landscape, we recognise our customers' ambition to grow their wealth steadily. In response to this need, we are excited to introduce Prime Treasure, an innovative savings insurance plan as part of our new brand launch. This plan provides guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed dividends, with a guaranteed breakeven period as short as 6 years, and a projected breakeven period of 4 years along with a variety of policy options. Customers can have the flexibility to withdraw the policy value regularly, thereby creating their own pension to flexibly prepare for retirement or wealth succession planning. This customer-centric approach empowers individuals to efficiently reach their financial goals while benefiting from top-notch savings protection."

The outstanding features of the Prime Treasure include:

  1. Guaranteed Breakeven Period as short as 6 Years2 - the choice for steady wealth accumulation: With a single premium, customers can enjoy a guaranteed cash value of up to 80%2of the total premiums paid1 upon policy issuance, a guaranteed breakeven2after 6 years, and a projected breakeven period as short as 4 years2. Customers can also exercise the "Terminal Dividend Lock-In Options"3 to convert non-guaranteed terminal dividends into guaranteed annual dividends, allowing their wealth to steadily increase in value. Take a policy with a single premium of USD 300,000 as an example, in addition to achieving the projected breakeven2 and guaranteed breakeven2 on the 4th and 6th policy anniversary respectively, at the end of the 10th, 15th and 25th policy anniversary, the total policy value4 of which can reach 150%, 200% and even more than 350% of the total premiums paid1 respectively2.
  2. Policy Split Option: After the end of the 5th policy year, customers can split the policy into two in each policy year by allocating a portion of the units of the existing policy to a separate one. The process involves splitting a policy into two, then two becomes four, and so on, allowing customers to fully utilise the asset allocation feature of the plan.
  3. Dual Succession Options: After the 6th policy monthly anniversary, customers may change the Insured for unlimited times5. The plan also offers the "Policy Continuation Option" 6 (i.e. the Beneficiary will become the new Owner (if applicable) and the new Insured upon the death of the Insured). The coverage period will be adjusted to the age of 128 of the new Insured, ensuring the policy to have sufficient time for wealth accumulation and can be passed to the next generations for an unlimited period of time.
  4. Regular Cash Withdrawals creating your own passive income: With a single premium payment, customers may start withdrawing 5% of the total premiums paid1annually from the 2nd policy anniversary until policy maturity7, allowing them to plan for their retirement or wealth succession more flexibly and effectively.

To encourage customers to plan early for the future for themselves and their families, customers who apply for Prime Treasure during the promotion period can enjoy a 5% premium discount. With 5% premium discount, the regular withdrawal option will be enhanced to (1-1-5), allowing them to pay 1 (single) premium and then start withdrawing 5% of the net premium8 annually from their 1st policy anniversary until policy maturity7.

Cash withdrawal will result in adjustments and decreases in the subsequent guaranteed cash value, non-guaranteed annual dividends, non-guaranteed terminal dividends and total death benefit. Cash withdrawal is subject to the Company's minimum unit amount requirement. If a cash withdrawal would reduce the units of the policy to be less than the minimum unit amount requirement, no cash withdrawal is allowed. The example is calculated based on the Company's current projected dividend rate and accumulated annual dividend interest rate and are not guaranteed, therefore the illustrated withdrawal amount might not be sustainable. If there are any changes of the policy dividend declaration or accumulated interest rate in future, the Units may reduce earlier or later in order to withdraw the stated amount above.
