At the Metro Finance Greater Bay Area Insurance Awards, Manulife Hong Kong won the following accolades:

The triple win for the ManuDelight Annuity Plan reinforces the company’s position as a leading retirement expert in Hong Kong. Born out of extensive customer research, ManuDelight was developed to meet unfulfilled demand for retirement planning among Hong Kong’s younger generation. Aimed at younger and middle-aged pre-retirees, ManuDelight is the first deferred annuity plan in market that gives customers both guaranteed retirement income and flexible options, including the ability to enjoy retirement earlier or later than planned.

Scoring a double win at this year’s Financial Institution Awards, ManuLove Care is a first-of-its-kind critical illness plan developed especially for Hong Kong’s “sandwich generation”. As befits a solution from a leading Hong Kong insurance brand, ManuLove Care provides the insured with well-rounded protection up to the age of 100, covering 60 major critical illnesses, 44 early stage critical illnesses and eight juvenile diseases. It also uniquely extends protection to the insured’s parents and children, and to any future children, with no underwriting required.

Manulife’s strength as a leader of Hong Kong’s medical insurance sector was also recognized at this year’s Metro Finance Greater Bay Area Insurance Awards, where the Manulife First VHIS Flexi Plan took the “Outstanding Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme Award”. Introduced by the government this year as part of its new tax-deductible policy, VHIS encourages Hong Kong people to evaluate their medical protection needs and get extra coverage as required.

The Manulife First VHIS Flexi Plan offers customers greater health protection through nine plan options, including different ward class choices, and additional reimbursement amounts for excess medical expenses¹. Customers can enjoy extra protection with the plan’s unique optional benefit of up to 100% medical expenses reimbursement. They are also free to choose their preferred doctor or hospital for treatment.

¹ This benefit is for Flexi Plan customers who have added supplementary medical benefit, and medical expenses incurred in Hong Kong in excess of benefit limits with preliminary assessment approved by Manulife may potentially be fully reimbursed.
