FAQs

Common questions

An annuity is a long-term insurance product. The purpose of an annuity is to help policyholders convert their money into a steady stream of income over the long term. It helps policyholders spend their retirement savings in a disciplined way to address the financial risks brought about by longevity. The policyholder pays the premium to an insurance company which will provide regular annuity income to the policyholder immediately or after a designated period of time or after a certain age of the policyholder, for the period specified in the contract.

QDAP must comply with a number of requirement including: the minimum total premiums of HKD180,000, a minimum payment period of 5 years, annuitisation at the age of 50 or above etc. For details, please visit IA’s website.

The income payout of many deferred annuity products in the market is usually divided into two parts, namely “guaranteed” and “non-guaranteed”. “Non-guaranteed” return is often affected by other factors such as the investment return, claims and profits of the insurance company. In an extreme case, the “non-guaranteed” return could be zero.
