Case 1
Middle-aged Professional
Life insured Mr Lee, age 40
Family status Married with two children
Occupation Sales manager
Monthly income HKD 50,000
Financial standing Savings and other investments Approx. total HKD 1.2 million
Expected retirement plan Retiring around age 70 and hoping to maintain the current quality of life with his wife
Mr. Lee is the financial backbone of his family, always striving to provide the best quality of life for his loved ones. Early on, he set aside a substantial education fund for his two children. Now, he is also preparing for his own retirement.
Considering the basic living expenses he and his wife will face, along with inflation, Mr. Lee has done some preliminary calculations and anticipates needing an additional HKD 1.95 million by the age of 70 to support his retirement.
Mr Lee’s whole life savings insurance plan helps him fill his HKD 1.95 million retirement savings gap.

Life insured Mr Wong, age 49
Family status Married with a daughter
Occupation University lecturer
Monthly income HKD 100,000
Financial standing Currently has roughly HKD 7.5 million in savings and rental income
Expected retirement plan Retire around age 65 then travel as they wish and enjoy retirement with his wife

The remaining assets, along with a monthly rental income of HKD20,000, will serve as their retirement reserve. However, he worries that economic downturns could reduce his rental income and that inflation will erode their purchasing power. He needs a stable savings plan to grow his wealth and create a reliable steady income.
After consulting with professionals for financial needs analysis, he decides to take up a whole life annuity plan, which will give him financial security through a monthly income of at least HKD 10,000 throughout his retirement years.
