Generali Launches LionGuardian
HONG KONG, Feb 14, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - Generali Life (Hong Kong) Limited ("Generali Life") has launched a game-changing critical illness product, "LionGuardian" (the "Plan"), the first product in the market to offer whole life protection with unlimited(1) major critical illness benefits. The Plan also provides high levels of protection for benign tumours, congenital child illnesses and common mental health conditions. The debut of LionGuardian comes at a time when rates of critical illnesses like cancer, heart attack and stroke are on the rise, with an increasing risk of striking younger people. LionGuardian provides comprehensive coverage of 138 different illnesses offering 100% of the Sum Assured for each Major Critical Illness Claim without affecting other benefit payouts. The Plan is unique in the Hong Kong market and has set a new benchmark for other products.

Cillin O'Flynn, CEO of Generali Life (Hong Kong) Limited, said of the Plan, "Generali has been operating in Hong Kong for over 40 years and we have been steadfastly committed to bringing the best offerings to the people here. LionGuardian delivers on Generali's promise to be a lifetime partner to our customers. We have leveraged our knowledge and expertise to launch a 'Critical Illness" first delivering comprehensive protection in a straightforward way to our policyholders."

LionGuardian: Six Promises of Comprehensive Protection The Plan offers peace-of-mind to customers by providing comprehensive protection against lifelong recurring risks of critical illnesses. The Plan makes six promises for policyholders. These are: 1. Unlimited(1) coverage on major critical illnesses2. Every claim of major critical illness benefit will be equal to 100% of the sum assured3. Future premium waived after 100% of the sum assured is paid4. Protection against 138 different illnesses 5. Protection for the mental health of children and coverage for congenital conditions6. Protection for benign tumours

Two Trailblazing Features Unique to the Market Unlimited Protection for Major Critical IllnessesThe LionGuardian Plan is a first-of-its-kind policy which offers unlimited(1) protection for major critical illnesses for health risks including cancer, stroke and heart attack with coverage of the insured up to 100 years of age. The protection is "unlimited"(1) in the sense that customers can file claims an unlimited number of times and the total amount of benefits paid will remain unlimited over the course of the insured's lifetime.

Future Claims Unaffected by Early Stage or Minor Illnesses ClaimsGenerali understands the concerns of policyholders about the impact of debilitating illnesses on their finances and believes that every claim of Major Critical Illness Benefit is equally important. Unlike existing products which often discount Major Critical Illness Benefits claims by the amount of previous claims made on early stage benefits, the amount of benefits for the insured under LionGuardian for major illnesses will not be affected by previous claims, and the benefit resulting from every claim of major critical illnesses will be equal to 100% of the sum assured. This advantage is possible through another design in which Early Stage or Minor Illnesses Benefits are under a standalone coverage provision that has no impact on Major Critical Illness Benefits and Death Benefits. The benefit coverage is equal to 20% of the sum assured upon diagnosis. The Plan also waives payment of all future premiums after 100% of the sum assured is paid.

The following sample cases illustrate some of the key features unique to LionGuardian: https://www.acnnewswire.com/topimg/Low_Englishtable20190214.jpg[1]
