AXA introduces life insurance plan with two-year premium payment term
AXA Hong Kong and Macau has launched its Wealth Ultra Savings Plan (2-year Pay) (Wealth Ultra).
 
Wealth Ultra offers a premium payment term of two years and an annual premium from $10,000, allowing customers to enjoy all benefits of the plan without the burden of a long-term financial commitment. Premiums are guaranteed to remain unchanged throughout the two-year period.

Wealth Ultra also provides two types of non-guaranteed bonuses - the reversionary bonus and the terminal bonus. Starting from the sixth policy year, the total cash value is projected to double every 10 years on average; and from the 82nd policy year, the total internal rate of return for each policy year is expected to exceed 7%.
 
Customers can designate a contingent insured in advance, so in the event that the initial insured passed away, the designated contingent insured will become the new insured, and the pre-assigned portion of the policy value will be passed on accordingly for wealth accumulation. The remaining portion will be payable to the designated beneficiaries in the form of compassionate benefit for immediate financial support.
