Life Replacement Option

The Life Replacement Option gives you the choice to replace the Life Insured between your spouse or child, to transfer and prolong your wealth even longer, very effective for legacy planning.

This coverage protects your investments aside from the investment that you are putting in, so that you have the assurance of capital guaranteed in the event of Death and Terminal Illness.

The protection element is especially useful because in the event if death or terminal illness occurs/ were to be diagnosed when the market is down, your capital will be protected and paid out to family members.

Conclusion For The HSBC Life Wealth Harvest

The AXA Wealth Accelerate is a competitive Investment-Linked Policy (ILP) in the market with strong retail and Accredited Investor funds. The AXA Wealth Accelerate invests 100% of your premium into the funds from day 1, unlike traditional ILPs which tend to invest 100% only after the 5th policy year (as well as having sub-funds managed by the insurers themselves). This main difference in fund management for traditional ILPs results in much longer break-even period (15 to 20 years at least).
