About 10,000 senior residents spent US$586 million on HKMC annuity policies in the first five months of this year, CEO Colin Pou says
The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation (HKMC), which has seen a surge in popularity for its retirement-related products, is exploring tie-ups with retirement homes in the Greater Bay Area to support residents planning to retire in the region.
Executives of HKMC, which is owned by the Hong Kong government, visited the Greater Bay Area cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou recently to study retirement home operations, said Daniel Leong Ling-chi, CEO of HKMC Annuity, on Thursday.
“We are exploring cooperation opportunities with our retirement home partners so that the senior citizens who have bought our public annuity policies can use their monthly payments to use the facilities,” Leong said. No concrete deals have been made yet, he added.
HKMC CEO Colin Pou Hak-wan said they were also looking into whether the retirement homes would accept monthly payments from its annuity scheme holders as well as special deals.
