AIA Elite Funds marked its third-year anniversary with strong Assets Under Management (AUM) growth for the affluent segment with AIA Elite strategy

Returns on AIA Elite Funds among the industry’s top quartile with significant AUM growth achieved within 3 years

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 4 October 2022 – AIA Singapore marked the third anniversary of AIA Elite Funds by delivering strong performance for customers, including making it in the top quartile[1] among its peer group of funds by achieving one of the highest annualised net returns and significant asset under management (AUM) growth in Singapore. As of end August 2022, the AIA Elite Adventurous Fund being the largest fund within the AIA Elite portfolio, achieved annualised returns of 7.37%, based on a three-year period. Total AUM of AIA Elite Funds is over S$900 million, representing average annual growth rate of more than 400% over the last three years. The AIA Elite Adventurous Fund accounts for approximately 70% of total AUM reflecting quality investment management.

Till today, the innovative AIA Elite Funds remains Singapore’s only ILP funds offering customers access to a unique proposition managed by the professional stewardship of the world’s finest institutional investors; Baillie Gifford, Capital Group, Wellington Management, and BlackRock – powered by AIA’s investment management capabilities.

Liu Chun Yen, Chief Investment Officer, AIA Singapore and member of the Sustainability in Insurance Committee (SIC) in Singapore says, “Aligning with AIA’s Elite strategy, we launched the AIA Elite Funds in 2019 to address the crucial gap for the affluent to meet both their wealth creation goals and protection needs, based on their respective investment time horizon. The success of our strategy led to the launch of multiple innovative Investment Linked Plans (ILPs) in 2022 alone. This includes AIA Elite Secure Income, the first-in-market affordable, capital guaranteed ILP, and AIA Platinum Wealth Legacy, the first-in-market ILP with no lapse privilege benefit till up to age 100. Both products provide customers access to AIA Elite Funds.”

“Today’s concerns about rising inflation and cost of living also underscore the importance of protecting and growing wealth wisely. At AIA Singapore, we are well-placed to continue providing customers a sustainable way of achieving this through our AIA Elite Funds, helping them with wealth accumulation, management and protection while mitigating unfavourable economic headwinds.”

Through strong collaboration with strategic partners and leveraging AIA Singapore’s proven expertise and capabilities, the company is also co-developing and carefully curating more customised solutions which are aligned with sustainable themes for the long-term within the AIA Elite Funds. The multi-layer value creation chain is focused on driving long-term investments while remaining nimble to make opportunistic investments which provide value and quality.

The AIA Elite Funds were launched in 2019 through the AIA Platinum Wealth Elite plan to address a critical gap for the affluent; a single plan to meet both their wealth creation goals and protection needs based on their respective investment time horizon. There are 3 different portfolios in USD and SGD respectively – AIA Elite Conservative, AIA Elite Balanced, and AIA Elite Adventurous – offered under various plans including the AIA Platinum Wealth Elite, AIA Platinum Retirement Elite, AIA Platinum Wealth Legacy, AIA Elite Secure Income and AIA Pro Achiever, catering to the diverse needs and risk profiles of AIA customers.

AIA Singapore reaffirmed its focus on wealth protection and management earlier this year by launching a new proposition Wealthbeing by AIA – the pairing of wealth and well-being – as the company continues to accelerate efforts to meet the underserved needs of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) to grow their wealth for the long-term while protecting their lifestyles from market volatility as well as unexpected life events. It is forecasted that by 2030, the number of millionaires in Singapore as a share of its population will exceed that of the United States, China or any other economy in the Asia Pacific region[2].

To this end, AIA Investments, manages over US$330 billion of assets[3] and has one of the largest teams in the Asia-Pacific region, with over 250 investment professionals, focused on delivering superior long-term sustainable returns for its clients.

The Tainan City Bureau of Tourism is ready for the recovery of Tourism in Tainan – The Ba Jia Jiang appears in Vietnam, hoping to see more tourists coming to Tainan

TAINAN, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 4 October 2022 – The TripBarometer Global Report indicated that 57% of travelers pay more attention to the local history and culture and 42% of Asian travelers prefer countries rich in culture and humanities, which would refer to cities like Kyoto, Chiang Mai, and Tainan.

Tainan, located in the southern part of Taiwan, is where everything started for Taiwan and has a long history and culture, and the City is also named by Michelin as a “food capital.” Tainan is only 80 minutes on the HSR from Taoyuan International Airport, and only a 50-minute drive from Kaohsiung International Airport.

Tainan is the only city that has preserved this 400-year-old religious ceremony as the “Ba Jia Jiang” drives away evil and blesses people. With COVID-19 raging on throughout the world, Tainan’s “Ba Jia Jiang” appears in other countries to showcase its charm while offering blessings.

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che said that Tainan is the capital of tourism and the city has been actively making improvements to match international tourism. Even with the impact of COVID-19, Tainan is still one of the few cities with improving tourism. Kuo Chen-hui, director of Tainan City Bureau of Tourism, said that the business visas are already available to visitors, and Taiwan will soon issue tourism visas. To promote the tourism of the City, the Tainan City Government has not only worked hard to promote its tourism online, but also cooperates with various Asian countries’ big cities to promote Tainan, showcase the beautiful city, and welcome tourists once the borders have been reopened. Not only was “Someday or One Day” filmed in Tainan, the colorful nature of the “Ba Jia Jiang” provides people with options other than Taipei and Kaohsiung! Come and experience the culture and charm of Tainan in the 1990s!

Open Financial System X Metaverse Pro Offers One-Stop Digital Asset Management Service

NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach – 3 October 2022 – X Metaverse Pro, with an aim to re-architect the core part of the financial system, has developed a viable financial management ecosystem, thereby promoting the experiment of decentralized governance. The mission of its native token, XMETA, is to become a DEFI 2.0 reserve currency.

The high-liquidity market created by X Metaverse Pro aims to solve the common problem of low utilization of digital assets and has advanced capabilities. The project is currently at an early stage with a low valuation. However, with the concerted efforts of community members, X Metaverse Pro aims to better correlate ecological growth with the accumulation of XMETA value, which will soon bring considerable value to investors’ value income, the developers claimed.

X Metaverse Pro is an innovative blockchain financial project that started in the USA. It is committed to creating an open asset management system to help users realize fast transactions of the virtual property safely, transparently, and efficiently, and list commodities, trade, pay and hand over virtual commodities, sign and fulfill contracts, governance, and voting. The ecology accommodates NFT, DeFi, and Metaverse assets and connects the virtual and real worlds. Within X Metaverse Pro ecosystem, anyone can digitize assets and identities anytime, anywhere.

The core of the project is the X Metaverse Pro wealth management ecosystem. It launched the XMETA asset management service for the first time and simultaneously launched the XMETA digital asset management platform, the X Metaverse Pro protocol, and the decentralized asset management platform. The goal is to help different types of assets. Asset managers, including individual and institutional investment managers, can manage their investment portfolios safely, quickly, and efficiently, achieving high returns, the developers maintained.

The XMETA digital asset management platform provides an assortment of investment portfolio and management tools and automates many operations through smart contracts. The process simplifies asset management and effectively reduces fixed costs. On the XMETA asset management platform, the performance of investment managers can be tracked, and the traceability feature makes it easier for capable investment managers to be discovered. In addition to asset managers, developers can also participate.

X Metaverse Pro protocol also occupies a pivotal position in the whole ecosystem. The protocol’s core is implemented by smart contracts, providing competent custody and decentralized asset management services for cryptocurrency assets. Investors can create, issue, manage and invest in on-chain fund products through the X Metaverse Pro protocol.

The idea of ​​XMETA’s decentralized asset management platform is to use DAO-governed asset management DEX to manage assets for users effectively. The platform creates a multi-signature wallet, which can flexibly add and delete multi-signature holders and change multi-signature conditions. At the same time, it supports a variety of APP modules to connect with the external ecology more quickly. Based on this prediction, the X Metaverse Pro decentralized asset management platform will be an asset management platform with both security and scalability.

X Metaverse Pro is a digital asset management ecosystem based on social trading. The real purpose of creating this project is to use traditional financial management methods such as hedge funds to manage digital assets, and the XMETA asset management business provides a complete platform level for this process.

X Metaverse Pro is a distributed asset management project in the metaverse field, and the X Metaverse Pro protocol is divided into two parts: core and module. The core is the primary transaction rules, which cannot be tampered with or changed. Modules allow users to participate in the design independently on a core basis. Due to the project’s independent nature, the platform can realize automatic updates, and there will not be too many technological obstacles.

According to the developers, the CEO of X Metaverse Pro has a unique background. He mentored Simons, who is regarded as an iconic figure in the American financial industry. The CEO of XMETA also has rich experience in traditional finance, encrypted finance, the Internet, and other financial fields, which will significantly help the future development of this project.
