Outstanding channel performance supported by popular products
The continued growth momentum of business results underscores FTLife’s remarkable corporate performance. Last year, the flagship “Regent Insurance” Series and “HealthCare 168” remained as FTLife’s key products on the market, driving strong growth in NBV. In 2018, the “Regent Insurance” Series accounted for nearly 60% of APE sales and “HealthCare 168” saw over 200% year-on-year growth in APE. IFA channel APE sales grew year-on-year by 55% while the agency channel achieved growth of 34%.
Roll out Certified Plan as early as April in tandem with the Government’s VHIS
FTLife CEO Gerard Yang commented: “FTLife enjoyed continuing pre-eminence in 2018 by capitalising on the competitive advantage of sales channels and product innovation. To support the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) of the Government, we anticipate that the certified VHIS product will be launched as early as April. According to the market research conducted by Nielson and commissioned by the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers, nearly 40% of respondents are interested in getting VHIS coverage, and over 70% of them would purchase a VHIS plan for themselves and their family members. Such figures reflect the huge market potential of VHIS products.”
Chief Product Officer Christine Yeung said, “FTLife is committed to providing customers with superior protection. Our recent medical protection products, including ‘HealthCare 168‘ Critical Illness Protector or MediGold Plus Insurance Plan, incorporate many innovative features and are popular in the market. The soon-to-be-launched Certified Plan in concert with the Government’s VHIS will make our health product series even more comprehensive for customers from all walks of life, allowing them to enjoy all-round medical protection and tax deduction at the same time.”
FTLife is commended for product development in the industry and has been offering medical products for over 30 years. The Insurance Excellence Awards 2018 (Best Medical Insurance Product) from iMoney Magazine and Best-in-Class Award (HealthCare Product) of the BENCHMARK Wealth Management Awards 2018 are bestowed to the Company for the excellence of its medical protection products.
