We observed a huge market<br \/>\ndemand for foreign currencies which is subsequently validated by the survey<sup><sup>2<\/sup><\/sup> jointly conducted by AXA<br \/>\nand an independent research agency in November 2021. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>70% of the respondents currently possess foreign<br \/>\ncurrency savings or investment, among which, insurance products come as the third<br \/>\nmost common investment vehicle after bank deposits and stocks. In terms of<br \/>\nfavoured currencies, Euro is one of their top choices other than USD and RMB.<br \/>\nMany people are looking for flexible saving vehicles with good returns to help<br \/>\nthem fulfil their changing needs in different life stages, such as wealth<br \/>\naccumulation, preparation for an education fund, legacy planning, overseas<br \/>\nproperty investments and retirement planning. These survey<br \/>\nfindings inspired us to launch FortuneXtra which provides exceptional potential<br \/>\nreturn and unmatched flexibility to meet the market needs, underscoring AXA&#8217;s<br \/>\ncommitment to be a life-long partner to our customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Four<br \/>\nnotable features of FortuneXtra include:<b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Meeting global citizen lifestyle and maximising wealth<br \/>\naccumulation advantage with market-highest policy currency options<\/b><b><sup>3<\/sup><\/b><b>, including market-unique Euro<\/b><\/p>\n<p>FortuneXtra provides a choice of up<br \/>\nto 9 policy currency options, offering the most options in the market<sup>3<\/sup><a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\" title=\"\"\/>, including Renminbi (RMB), United<br \/>\nStates Dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), Canadian Dollar (CAD),<br \/>\nAustralian Dollar (AUD), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) and<br \/>\nMacau Pataca (MOP; only for policies issued in Macau), each offering competitive<br \/>\npotential return.
