AXA introduces the “BeOnTrack Programme”

An all-in-one solution for participants to restore and build a healthy lifestyle
Expert trio to formulate health improvement plans through professional consultations, self-monitoring and laboratory tests

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 18 July 2022 – AXA Hong Kong and Macau (AXA) today announced the launch of its “BeOnTrack Programme” (“BeOnTrack” or the “Programme”). At only HKD10 per day[1], our expert trio will help formulate solutions, supporting participants to achieve their health goals and live healthier lives in a 12-month programme. Participants can enjoy the all-in-one solution, including comprehensive health consultations, laboratory tests as well as having the convenience of checking their latest progress and reviewing the health metrics via the “Emma by AXA” app. Participants can also make consultation appointments through this digital platform, making it easy to manage their health and wellbeing.

AXA's

AXA’s “BeOnTrack Programme” helps participants reshape their lifestyle in a healthy way through the comprehensive support of an expert team.

BeOnTrack, launched by AXA in partnership with DrGo and EC Healthcare, comes with reboot plans that suit the participant’s needs, including monitoring and managing blood pressure, blood glucose and body weight. By combining the professional advice from our expert trio, participants will progressively alter their eating habits and physical activity patterns to improve their health and to prevent possible diseases. In doing so, AXA aims to help participants minimise potential medical expenses through this Programme, thereby avoiding additional financial burden and pressure put on their family. “BeOnTrack” truly underscores AXA’s commitment to be a lifelong partner to the customers.

This Programme, supported by the expert trio, offers the following one-stop features:

1) Personalised support from medical and healthcare professionals

Our expert trio, comprising of family doctors, dietitians and personal trainers, will conduct in-person consultation sessions with each participant to formulate personalised and tailored health reboot plans for managing blood pressure, blood glucose or body weight. The programme will start off with a family doctor consultation session for a comprehensive health assessment. The dietitian and personal trainer will then make recommendations on future diet and exercise routines in subsequent sessions. Additionally, a range of specialised laboratory tests are available to participants subject to their plan options. The test results will help the expert team to better understand the overall health conditions and accurately evaluate individual health progress to provide relevant health advice. The team will formulate the most effective health improvement plan with necessary adjustments.

2) Fully automated digital monitoring device to keep track of real-time health metrics

Depending on the reboot plan of the participant’s choice for blood pressure, blood glucose or body weight, participants can leverage a digital self-monitoring device to monitor their health metrics with real-time synchronisation to the digital health platform. These automatic recording and tracking feature enable the expert trio to make appropriate adjustments to the health improvement plan to help participants reach their health goals more easily and effectively over the course of the one-year programme. Moreover, the devices also present helpful information to reflect health status, and trigger personal notifications and reminders to prompt for health check-ups when abnormal health metrics are detected in order to prevent illness before it strikes.

‘Skinny Fat’ becomes prevalent while half of the Hong Kong’s adult population is obese or overweight

According to data from the Department of Health, nearly half of the adult population in Hong Kong is classified as obese or overweight[2]. More importantly, ‘Skinny Fat’ is a health problem which has less public awareness. This condition refers to people facing central obesity or exceeding body fat percentage even through their body weight falls within the standard range and they may have a slim appearance. An Asian study also stated that Skinny Fat people have a higher risk of having high blood pressure and diabetes[3], thereby creating potential threats to their health. Furthermore, one out of four Hong Kong people suffers from high blood pressure[4], which can cause severe health problems, including increased risk of stroke, coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.

Emily Li, Chief Employee Benefits & Wellness Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said, “There were a total of 2.16 million chronic disease patients in Hong Kong last year4, representing about 30% of the total population. Among them, most were suffering from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes that was caused by obesity or unhealthy lifestyle habits. In view of this, AXA has launched the ‘BeOnTrack Programme’ to help our participants reshape their lifestyle through the comprehensive support of an expert team. The Programme aims to enhance the public’s overall health standards and prevent health problems from emerging through changes in daily habits. This can help reduce their future medical expenses and avoid adding financial burden and related pressures on their family. At AXA, our strategic ambition is to transition from not only being a payer but also a partner to our customers. We want to go the extra mile for our customers to launch products that best meet their needs while offering all-round care for their holistic health.”

From now until Dec 31 2022, participants joining “BeOnTrack” can enjoy a series of exciting rewards, including an extra HKD2,000 premium refund upon enrolment of designated AXA critical illness insurance plans, and an extra 10% premium refund upon enrollment of designated AXA medical insurance plans on top of preveiling offers. In addition, the first 100 “BeOnTrack” participants will also enjoy a 50% discount on purchasing the designated self-monitoring devices.

At AXA, our purpose is to “Act for human progress by protecting what matters” and in so doing, we want to provide comprehensive care for our customers’ physical and mental health. Besides “BeOnTrack”, AXA has also launched a series of free holistic wellness support services on AXA BetterMe through the “Emma by AXA” app. Furthermore, with the understanding of the tremendous pressure faced by the hard working people of Hong Kong, AXA has introduced an exclusive mind health network and Mind Healer, an innovative digital one-stop psychological consultation platform, to enhance mental health support for its Employee Benefits customers.

KPMG & HSBC’s Emerging Giants in Asia Pacific report identifies potential regional unicorns and their growth drivers

As the world’s growth engine, Asia Pacific’s technology-focused start-ups are leveraging innovations and new sector verticals to blaze a digital trail forward

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 18 July 2022 – KPMG and HSBC have released the Emerging Giants in Asia Pacific report, which examines new economy businesses across the region with strong potential to impact the global business landscape over the next decade. Over 6,472 technology-focused start-ups1 with valuations of up to US$500 million2 were studied across 12 markets, with ten leading Emerging Giant companies identified in each market3. The report also names 100 Leading Emerging Giants within the overall Asia Pacific region.

Maturing technology-focused ecosystems in the Asia Pacific are producing billion-dollar companies at a rapid rate. With the International Monetary Fund predicting that the region’s emerging markets and developing economies will grow 20 percent faster than the global average4, this year, Emerging Giants – fast-growing, influential and innovative start-ups with unicorn ambitions – are a leading indicator of the Asia Pacific’s growth trajectory.

According to the report, the emergence of new sector verticals is attracting record-breaking investments, leading to a proliferation of larger, more valuable start-ups in the region.

Beyond the traditional sectors associated with new economy businesses such as FinTech or software-as-a-service, the report identified around 120 technology-related industry subsectors among these businesses, with blockchain, smart city, and sustainability and ESG verticals being most prominent. Additionally, six out of the 12 markets studied had average valuations of US$300 million or more among their leading Emerging Giants5.

“Fast-growing technology start-ups are the new wave of SMEs contributing towards economic growth and more. Looking ahead, the global push towards carbon-neutrality will be a major driver of innovation as traditional sectors go green, and Emerging Giants will likely play a key role in developing the technologies that can reduce carbon emissions and promote more responsible stewardship of the environment. Asia will be a crucial battleground in the fight for a more sustainable future,” says Honson To, Chairman KPMG Asia Pacific and KPMG China.

Emerging Giants in Asia Pacific excites us because we see the start-up ecosystem as complimentary to the established end of the financial services industry: they’re a source of innovation, and invigorate both local and regional economies with their dynamism,” says Surendra Rosha, Co-Chief Executive of HSBC Asia-Pacific.

“Over 9,300 start-ups and 12 unicorns currently call Singapore home – this is the highest total of any country in Southeast Asia. Correspondingly, we can expect the entrepreneurial impact of these enterprises to be significant in catalysing innovation here, while also giving a shot in the arm to boost economic strength and market confidence. The challenge forward will be to continue attracting unicorns to reside here. Strong ecosystem support will be needed, such as public and private programmes and incentives for ‘hot sectors’, an environment that attracts and grooms top talent, as well as a strong purpose across industries and the nation to solve priority problems and create measurable change for the world,” says Ong Pang Thye, Managing Partner, KPMG in Singapore.

“From Singapore’s position as a global and regional financial centre, we’ve observed increased interest in venture capital participation in Series A and B rounds of innovative firms in either B2B software or financial services sectors across Europe and Asia. HSBC is well-placed to connect these Emerging Giants to opportunities locally and internationally. Backed by our deep local experience, global network, and customer-tailored banking solutions, we have a proven track-record of helping businesses to grow domestically and subsequently, across borders,” says Kee Joo Wong, CEO of HSBC Singapore.

Other key findings of the report include:

  • While a repeat of the record-breaking private investment levels in 2021 is unlikely, 1Q 2022 figures suggest that 2022 is on target to exceed both 2020 and 2019 funding levels in the Asia Pacific. Australia, Malaysia and South Korea have already seen deal values pass or nearly pass 2020 totals.
  • As the world’s biggest fintech adopter, the Asia Pacific region has experienced a boom in financial services transformation within the last two years as fintech applications progress in tandem with user uptake. Considerable interest in cryptocurrencies has also led to a surge in crypto financial services providers and blockchain players.
  • Growing pressure for an ESG focus in business and investment strategies in order to meet climate targets will likely drive an explosive demand for green technologies and services across every industry, creating significant opportunities for Emerging Giants.
  • Top challenges faced by Emerging Giants include navigating regulatory complexity and securing technology talent. Formulating effective ESG and tax strategies, as well as leveraging government incentives and implementing management processes for distributed workforces, will be cornerstones of future growth.

“As the world’s leading trade bank, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers innovate, develop the solutions of the future and add value. As up-and-coming leaders who will shape industries in the next decade, Emerging Giants represent a vital building block for a sustainable and prosperous future for the region,” says Dan Roberts, HSBC’s Global Head of Business Banking.

“Asia Pacific’s emerging giants are bold, ambitious and cutting-edge in the new platform and software applications they are offering. They are courageous about who they choose to partner with, which markets they are targeting, how they shape their business models, transforming company culture and mission statements. Perhaps most importantly, they are transforming and pioneering the technology landscape over the coming years, in addition to thinking about what is useful to their customers now,” says Darren Yong, Head of Technology, Media and Telecommunications, KPMG Asia Pacific.

The report also features interviews with start-up founders and executives across the 12 Asia Pacific markets, which offer insight into the challenges and opportunities that start-ups in the region face.

LenovoPro and Microsoft collaborate with Bynd Artisan to launch limited-edition eco-friendly laptop sleeve

The limited-edition laptop sleeve is made of vegan leather and will be available to LenovoPRO business customers

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 18 July 2022 – Lenovo Singapore today announced its collaboration with Bynd Artisan to launch a limited-edition laptop sleeve made entirely from sustainable, eco-friendly materials. Committed to operate a globally sustainable business, this collaboration with Bynd Artisan not only reflects Lenovo’s continued commitment to its Climate Change Mitigation Goals for 2025, but perfectly aligns with Bynd Artisan’s ethos of creating perfect leather gifts and features the signature craftsmanship of the 70-year-old, Singapore-founded brand.

This limited-edition sleeve comes embossed with LenovoPro and Microsoft logos

Nigel Lee, Country General Manager, Lenovo Singapore, said, “Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the products we make or the services we provide, but also influences with whom we collaborate environmentally and socially. And we can’t be more excited to work with one of Singapore’s oldest and finest artisanal brands, Bynd Artisan.”

“Together, we set out to craft something truly special, yet remains true to our goal of building a better future for our customers, our communities, and our planet. And the result is a beautiful work of art and craftmanship that will hopefully touch not only the hands of our business customers, but their hearts as well when they use it daily, knowing that it was created sustainably in every single way possible.”

Stylish and versatile, the sleeve is made from vegan leather and designed with the lifestyle of a modern businessperson in mind. It features slim pockets that hold items essential to the professional on-the-go, like mobile phones and business cards, and serves as the perfect complement to Think laptop users, who appreciate fine craftsmanship, reliability, and sleek aesthetics.

The online exclusive laptop sleeve (worth S$158.00) is limited to the first 800 purchases and can only be redeemed with any THINK laptop purchased via the LenovoPRO site from 18 July 2022. LenovoPRO is a platform for businesses to enjoy myriad benefits including business pricing, early access to limited deals, complimentary IT consultation, discounted warranty upgrades, bulk deals, and free gifts.

With quality and sustainability in mind, the LenovoPro and Bynd Artisan laptop sleeve is built to protect Lenovo’s ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops and features:

  • Belly band: Made from recycled food pulp paper, these distinctive and vivid papers are made from organic food by-products such as citrus fruits, coffee, hazelnuts, and corn, which would have been otherwise left as industrial residue in landfills. Incorporating these natural raw materials into the paper has effectively replaced up to 15 percent of virgin tree pulp normally required for paper making.
  • Vegan leather: Produced using process-controlled machines and eco-friendly methods, vegan leather is a great animal-friendly alternative to genuine leather. It offers the same supple touch and appearance of leather without the high carbon footprint, typically a result of the gallons of water required to process natural leather.
  • Felt: Produced from acrylic threads largely attained from post-consumer plastic, the felt material is highly durable with many layers interlocked in its construction. Although lightweight, it is highly water-resistant and provides great layered protection. Ultimately, the felt scraps and fibers can be further broken down and recycled towards the end of its lifecycle.

This offer serves to further lower barriers to entry for Tiger Brokers users and promotes portfolio diversification opportunities amidst today’s volatile markets

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 18 July 2022 – Online trading platform Tiger Brokers (Singapore) today announced the extension of its Zero Commission campaign, originally for unlimited trades on US stocks, to users trading Singapore and Hong Kong stocks as well as China A-Shares, for one year.

The extensions, the first of their kind in these markets, come at a time of continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty when maintaining a diversified portfolio is pivotal. Attaining a diversified portfolio will help investors meet their long-term investment objectives while helping to moderate volatility along the way. These extensions further simplify the trading and investment process for Tiger Brokers users and lower the barriers to entry for these markets.

With around 21% of our user base active in stocks across all three markets, we envisage the extension of the Zero Commissions campaign providing our customers with further significant cost saving opportunities.”

In addition to better capitalising on small price movements in the market, and unlocking cost savings with more efficient trading, investors who are new to these markets can also benefit from access at a lower cost.

“These extensions are also our way of expressing our gratitude to our loyal customer base,” adds Thiam Choon. “We seek to create a cohesive ecosystem of investors who share ideas and insights through community building platforms such as TigerOne, which is aligned with our goal of developing financial literacy for everyone by allowing investor education materials to be accessible to all.
