Savings Insurance Glossary

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

When measuring returns, in addition to simply comparing premium paid and total return, IRR takes into account of the time value of the entire cash flow and the elapsed time to obtain such return. It is a fair measurement to compare products with different payment and savings periods.

Guaranteed Return

The minimum amount that an insurance company must pay.

Projected Return

The amount of return that an insurance company has the discretion to distribute depending on a number of factors such as investment performance, claims experience, operating expenses, etc. The actual return could be higher or lower than the expected amount.

Frequently Ask Questions

How do you choose between short-term savings insurance and long-term savings insurance?

Short-term savings insurance is more suitable for achieving financial goals within 5 years; Long-term savings insurance is more suitable for longer term financial goals such as children education and retirement.

Why aren't the returns as expected?

Long-term savings insurance has guaranteed return and projected return. Projected return is affected by different factors including investment performance, operating expenses, etc., which may underperform and drag the overall return down below the expected level.

How do you measure whether the projected return of an insurance product is credible?

The Insurance Authority requires insurance companies to disclose the dividend fulfilment ratio of participating savings insurance for at least the past 5 years against the projected dividends in the proposal illustration. The higher the ratio to 100% means the more the insurance company is able to distribute dividends according to its original projection.
