Elite Income 88 and Elite Max 88 focus on helping Malaysian customers grow their wealth with the flexibility to adjust plan options as their financial goals change
Kuala Lumpur, 7 July 2022 - Manulife Malaysia has launched two new plans, Elite Income 88 and Elite Max 88 under the Elite 88 series. Both products offer customers opportunities to grow their savings, while providing protection and insurance coverage for death, total and permanent disability (TPD), and accidental death.
The Elite 88 series is underwritten by Manulife Insurance Berhad and distributed by its bancassurance partner, Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad.
According to the Manulife Asia Care Survey1, 46% of Malaysians saw a decline in monthly income due to COVID-19, while 70% have savings that can only support them for a year or less. “At Manulife, we are committed to helping the people of Malaysia secure a better financial future,” said Vibha Coburn, Group Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Malaysia. “The Elite 88 series is intended to support Malaysians in growing their savings, which is aligned to our mission to help make decisions easier and lives better.”
The Elite 88 series offer a guaranteed minimum of 2.0% per annum for the first five policy years. They also provide flexibility for policyholders to switch plan options to suit their changing financial needs and circumstances. These plans come with short premium payment term and flexible coverage term, providing a variety of financial options for alternative savings that can be used for general savings, retirement, or a child’s education. Both plans are practical and can be adapted to the financial needs of individuals, which tend to change in the span of 10 to 15 years.
“The flexibility to adjust plan options is a key highlight of these products, as they provide affordable, flexible needs-based solutions to customers based on their financial goals. Both plans are suitable for individuals who are keen to grow their wealth for the future, while also ensuring their loved ones are taken care of should the unforeseen happen,” added Coburn.
“The Elite Income 88 and Elite Max 88 come with generous benefits and features that meet the needs of our customers, particularly those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Customers in their 40s who are focused on building their wealth, and those in their 50s and 60s who seek to leave a financial legacy for their loved ones, will find the short premium payment term of only five years an attractive proposition in return for a 15-year coverage," said Gan Pai Li, Group Chief Consumer Banking Officer of Alliance Bank.
Elite Income 88 provides annual Guaranteed Cash Payment during the first 15 policy years, while Elite Max 88 provides a total return proposition. Both plans come with easy enrolment with no medical and financial underwriting requirement for application up to a face amount of RM800,000 per life.
