With the US-China trade war looming and stock market volatility, many are seeking stable investment strategies. Savings insurance allows funds to grow with interest, making it particularly attractive in the current climate. However, typical savings insurance policies often require contributions for over a decade before yielding returns, and you may not want to wait that long. A decade is a considerable time, so are there products that offer guaranteed returns in a shorter period? 10Life has specially curated a selection of short-term savings insurance products currently available in the market. Take a look to see if any suit your needs!
 
Currently, there are several short-term savings insurance products in the market with entry thresholds as low as HKD 6,000 per year. Contribution periods range from 1 to 3 years, with maturity periods of approximately 3 to 6 years, offering guaranteed internal rates of return from 2.71% to 3.81%. Details are provided in the table below:

Although short-term savings insurance is relatively stable, investments carry risks, and short-term savings insurance is no exception. You should carefully assess the potential risks:
The term "short-term" still involves several years. If you withdraw funds before the policy matures, the amount received may be significantly lower than the premiums paid. Therefore, ensure you have sufficient liquidity to handle unexpected situations and avoid withdrawing from insurance products before maturity.
If the primary currency you hold is different from the currency of the insurance product, fluctuations in exchange rates between the two currencies can affect the premiums payable and the overall policy value, especially if the policy currency depreciates significantly.
If interest rates rise, savings or fixed deposit rates may also increase. However, the guaranteed return rates of the aforementioned short-term savings insurance products are fixed and will not adjust upwards with market conditions.
 
Short-term savings insurance has always been popular in the market, but for insurance companies, the profit margins on these products are usually low. As a result, supply is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. It is understood that these products often attract interest from insurance insiders and actuaries. Some insurance intermediaries or bank salespeople may only recommend them to regular clients. As "opportunities are fleeting," if you are interested in purchasing, you should check the availability of each product to see if stock is still available. We are unable to predict when these products will sell out.
