  • AIA Life Insurance launches a new US dollar-denominated whole life insurance policy.
  • The policy aims to assist high-net-worth individuals with asset inheritance and retirement planning.
  • Key features include lifelong coverage, stable sum assured, and a unique "Wan Bao Option" for flexible cash flow during retirement.

AIA Life Insurance has introduced its "Wan Bao Fu Li US Dollar Interest-Rate Variable Whole Life Insurance," a new product designed to help clients manage asset inheritance and retirement planning. The policy combines US dollar asset allocation, lifelong protection, a stable sum assured, high leverage benefits, and a distinctive "Wan Bao Option."

In response to an aging society and increasing demand for wealth transfer, more high-net-worth individuals are seeking a balance between asset preservation, retirement planning, and family legacy. Hou Wen-cheng, General Manager of AIA Life Insurance, noted that many clients struggle not with insufficient assets, but with how to effectively allocate them while ensuring retirement security, family protection, and wealth continuity for the next generation.

Traditional life insurance offers a way to build coverage through installment payments, providing a financial safety net against risks. However, large expenses like medical bills or funding grandchildren's education can create a conflict between immediate needs and long-term inheritance goals. The "Wan Bao Fu Li" policy aims to break traditional insurance frameworks with innovative, human-centric designs that allow for flexible adjustments to coverage structure and resource allocation.

The policy features a level sum assured, providing stable protection from the outset without gradual accumulation, maximizing the leverage benefits of life insurance. It can accommodate up to $20 million USD in coverage, catering to the needs of high-net-worth clients and business owners for protection and wealth transfer.

A standout feature is the "Wan Bao Option." After the premium payment period concludes, the policyholder can exercise this option between the insured's ages of 60 and 90. Over a chosen period of 10 or 20 years, the policy provides annual cash flow to manage retirement expenses, healthcare, travel, or other life plans. Crucially, this option is not irreversible. If financial needs are met or cash flow is sufficient, the policyholder can terminate the option, allowing the remaining coverage and policy value to be passed on to heirs, thus serving both self-care and intergenerational transfer.

Many clients face the issue not of insufficient assets, but of how to more effectively allocate assets while simultaneously balancing retirement life, family protection, and the next generation's wealth inheritance.
