Similarly, SMEs in healthcare, education, beauty, lifestyle and home improvement sectors have experienced stellar growth after adopting their digital marketing approach.

“Through PSG grant, we are glad to be able to serve more SMEs and help them use proper digital marketing approach to generate revenue instead of just getting likes and shares in their posts,” says Ted.

Prudential plc (2378.HK) included as a constituent of the Hang Seng Composite Index

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach19 August 2022 – Prudential plc (2378.HK) will be included as a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Composite Index (HSCI) with effect from 5 September 2022, according to the Index Review Results announced by Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited today.

James Turner, Group Chief Financial Officer, Prudential


As a constituent of the HSCI, Prudential can now be considered for inclusion in the Shenzhen–Hong Kong Stock Connect programme. Under this programme, eligible stocks can be traded by qualified investors[1] in the Chinese mainland.

James Turner, Group Chief Financial Officer, Prudential said this is a milestone for the company’s primary listing in Hong Kong.

Prudential plc has been listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong since 2010, and completed an equity raise of US$2.4 billion in September 2021 to enhance its financial flexibility to invest for growth in Asia and Africa. By the end of 2021, the Group completed the strategic re-positioning of its business to focus solely on growth opportunities in Asia and Africa.

“We believe this index inclusion will further expand our investor base and increase the trading liquidity of our shares. As we pivot our business to Asia, we are keen to provide investors in the region, many of whom are our customers, an opportunity to benefit from the growth of our business.

“Our financial performance in the first half of 2022 shows that Prudential has a resilient business model that is backed by a multi-channel distribution platform. Through over 530,000 agents and more than 170 bancassurance partners, as well as our digital platform, we have a tremendous reach across 23 markets, and are well positioned to tap the long-term structural growth opportunities across Asia and Africa,” said Mr. Turner.

Despite their fast-rising prosperity, people in Asia have low levels of insurance cover, with 39 per cent of health and protection spend still paid out of pocket. This creates a large and growing health protection gap that has been estimated at US$1.8 trillion.

“In 2023, Prudential will celebrate 175 years of supporting customers and building our business as one of the world’s leading insurance groups. With rising longevity and increased demand for health and protection across Asia and Africa, our focus remains on ensuring that Prudential can capture the breadth of opportunities that are available to us across the two continents,” said Mr. Turner.

The Group’s 2022 Half Year results, reported on 10 August 2022, show the business continues to deliver resilient operational performance amid market volatility (link: https://www.prudentialplc.com/en/news-and-insights/all-news/news-releases/2022/10-08-2022).

PolyU Design Announces New Research Centre of Future Caring Mobility and Opportunity for Partnerships

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 19 August 2022 – The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (PolyU Design) has announced the establishment of the Research Centre of Future Caring Mobility (Centre). The Centre has recently won a $7.5 million seed funding from the University’s competitive research grant with matching funds from PolyU Design and partner institutions. The Centre represents a vision of interdisciplinary, cutting-edge STEAM (STEM + Art & Design) and innovative design approach emphasizing living, caring, and wellbeing under various mobility scenarios.

An innovative adaptable vehicle interior design to boost income-earning opportunities and reduce downtime between income-earning events for public passenger transport drivers is one example of caring mobility projects currently on exhibit at the PolyU Design Show 2022. By dividing the labour between cargo fleet, ride-hailing services and taxis, this strategy also enables the delivery industry to employ existing automobile journeys as extra resources to spread out the industry’s high demand.


Prof. Stephen J. Wang, Director of the Centre, remarked that his team is determined to tackle on the “wicked” real-world challenges such as the future caring in transportation, transit UX, communication and integration of personal information in mobility, automobile cybersecurity, smart city fluidity & liveability, UX in emerging transport modes such as versatile & on-demand transport, and wellbeing aspects in connected and autonomous vehicles.

Prof. Wang said: “This Centre will be the first in the world to focus on blurring various mobility related boundaries to envision the future of “caring-moving”, and the research and design outcomes will significantly contribute to Hong Kong, Greater Bay Area, and the region.”

The Centre will focus on the potential benefits of mobility innovations for the economy, society, health, and wellbeing to perform high-impact research. It will provide a distinctive platform that will enable visionary design-led innovations that are useful, user-friendly, and cutting-edge.

This platform will also benefit the next generation of researchers, designers, and innovators in this field by focusing on the end-users’ evolving and unmet needs from both the caring and mobility perspectives, in addition to specialized technological knowledge.

The Centre is currently working with major corporations and welcomes proposals for joint-research projects.

Transamerica Life Bermuda Releases Updated Guide To High Net Worth Life Insurance

The updated practical handbook supports financial advisors in understanding the unique features of HNW life insurance and how it can help protect their customers’ wealth

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 19 August 2022 – Transamerica Life (Bermuda) Ltd. (TLB), a leading High Net Worth (HNW) life insurer, in partnership with Hubbis (HK) Limited (“Hubbis”), announced the release of the updated “Guide to HNW Life Insurance – a Practical Handbook for Financial Advisors 2022” (“Guide”). Sponsored by TLB as part of its Mastering High Net Worth (MHNW) programme, and prepared by Hubbis, this is the third year that TLB has collaborated with Hubbis to bring this important resource to financial advisors, brokers and wealth managers.

Since the last edition of the Guide in 2021, the world and global economy has undergone dramatic changes. Although the anxiety around COVID waned in 2021 across the world, the new COVID variants that continue to emerge, the impact of the war in Ukraine, along with the rise in oil, gas, food prices and supply-side challenges from pandemic lockdowns, has impacted economic activity resulting in increased economic volatility and geopolitical risks. In addition, inflation is running at levels not seen since the early 1980s. In response, central banks around the world are now embarking on a course of rapid tightening in monetary policy. In a remarkably short space of time, we see a flip from low interest rates and high asset markets to higher interest rates and lower asset markets.

Despite the health and market uncertainty, however, the HNW and Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) population remained resilient. According to a recent Capgemini study, in 2021 the global HNW population and their global wealth grew by 7.8% and 8% respectively. North America led the way in growth, with the European and Asia-Pacific regions following in second and third place respectively.

“While TLB sees a more mixed and challenging economic situation unfolding this year, we remain very positive about the prospects for HNW life insurance growth in 2022 and beyond. With an ever-changing and unpredictable environment comes the desire for more certainty – and life insurance continues to be a perfect vehicle to provide that certainty,” said Chirag Rathod, CEO of TLB. “Moreover, high net worth individuals (HNWIs) are showing vibrant interest in new financial solutions, presenting new opportunities for innovation in both products and services. Because of this, the Guide remains an important and relevant tool for financial professionals today. We hope that it provides a useful guide to understanding the key dimensions of HNW life insurance and practical applications. This is part of our continuing commitment to provide utmost support to our partners and helping to add more value to our customers’ lives,” he added.

“We are delighted to once again partner with Transamerica Life (Bermuda) Ltd. to release this updated version of the Guide. With the challenging market and health environment, we see HNWIs reassessing their priorities and looking for more ways to grow and protect their wealth. The continued demand for life insurance offers a great growth opportunity for financial professionals who are able to quickly adapt to the changing expectations and needs of this unique market segment,” said Michael Stanhope, Founder and CEO of Hubbis.

As a leading life insurance company singularly focused on the HNW market, TLB is recognised for its award-winning products and services, as well as its expertise in handling large sums assured and complex cases supporting legacy and business planning. Launched in December 2019, TLB’s MHNW program provides its distribution partners with specialised insights, ideas, and resources to help them better serve the needs of HNW customers. As the latest resource under TLB’s MHNW program, the Guide aims to furnish financial professionals with an accessible tool to increase their knowledge and skills, helping them to maximise their opportunities in the growing HNW space.

“Guide to HNW Life Insurance – a Practical Handbook for Financial Advisors (2022)” is available to financial services professionals via Hubbis at https://www.hubbis.com/article/guide-to-hnw-life-insurance
