An annuity is a long-term insurance product. The purpose of an annuity is to help policyholders convert their money into a steady stream of income over the long term. It helps policyholders spend their retirement savings in a disciplined way to address the financial risks brought about by longevity. The policyholder pays the premium to an insurance company which will provide regular annuity income to the policyholder immediately or after a designated period of time or after a certain age of the policyholder, for the period specified in the contract.
QDAP is a deferred annuity product complying with the guidelines issued by the Insurance Authority (IA) and certified by the IA. Taxpayers are allowed to claim a tax deduction for their qualifying deferred annuity premiums. QDAP must comply with a number of requirement including: the minimum total premiums of HKD180,000, a minimum payment period of 5 years, annuitisation at the age of 50 or above etc. For details, please visit IA’s website.
The Internal Rate of Return is a way to calculate the return. “Internal” means only the relevant cash flows are calculated, including the invested capital (e.g. premiums), withdrawn amounts (e.g. annuity income) and the time factor. External factors (e.g. inflation rate) are not considered.
The income payout of many deferred annuity products in the market is usually divided into two parts, namely “guaranteed” and “non-guaranteed”. “Non-guaranteed” return is often affected by other factors such as the investment return, claims and profits of the insurance company. In an extreme case, the “non-guaranteed” return could be zero.
On the other hand, the annuity income payout of eIncomePro Deferred Annuity Plan (100% Guaranteed) is 100% guaranteed, without any “non-guaranteed” part.

Lifetime annuity means that annuity income will be distributed to the policyholder till the designated age (aged 100 to 120) or even death. Term annuity means there is a designated annuity period, usually 10 to 20 years. In theory, for the same amount of total premium paid, the longer the annuity period, the less the amount of annuity income, and vice versa. Therefore, applicant should choose the appropriate plan type based on your financial needs.

Accumulation Period (Year) | 5 | 10 | 15 |
Annuity Period (Year) | 10 | ||
