AIA事件官方資料

近日AIG(美國國際集團)財困危機引起許多客戶的關注,我們已為大家第一時間跟進。以下是來自官方發佈的重要資料,建議AIA(友邦)客戶仔細閱讀︰


※ 針對投資相連保險(Investment-Link Product)的官方回應

香港的財政司長、金管局主席及AIA友邦保險公司先後已公開表明AIA在港的保險業務不受是次金融危機所影響,
不過當中並未明確提及「投資相連保險計劃」(即Asset Accumulator/Capital Saver一類月供基金計劃)的細節情況。

今天我們得悉新加坡金管局對這類計劃作出明確回應,亦是唯一一個針對「投資相連保險產品」而作回應的國家。
根據當局闡釋,現時在AIA開立的基金投資戶口,其資產與AIA/AIG分開管理,將不受AIA/AIG架構/股東權益變動而影響。

以下是當地官方網站正式通告全文︰

MAS' Response to Queries on AIA :

"MAS has received queries from the public on the regulatory requirements which insurance companies have to meet, in particular, AIA Singapore.

As with all insurance companies in Singapore, AIA is required under the Insurance Act to maintain statutory insurance funds, including an investment-linked fund. These funds are segregated from its head office and other shareholders' funds. Within these insurance funds, AIA must maintain sufficient assets to meet all its liabilities to policyholders, which include participating policies and investment-linked policies. The value of these assets is not linked to AIA's or AIG's financial condition, but like all investments, their value may be affected by general market conditions. MAS requires all insurance companies in Singapore to manage their investment risks carefully and we are monitoring the situation closely.

There are also queries on whether the financial condition of AIG would have an impact on AIA. AIA currently has sufficient assets in its insurance funds to meet its liabilities to policyholders. Policyholders should, therefore, not act hastily to terminate their insurance policies with AIA as they may suffer losses from the premature termination and lose the insurance protection they may need. "
