HSBC, Manulife, BOC Life expand offerings for Hong Kong retirees
positiveFinancial Markets
Big financial players like HSBC, Manulife, and BOC Life are rolling out new investment options specifically designed for Hong Kong retirees, offering regular payouts (like HSBC’s new funds aiming for 6% annual dividends). This is part of a bigger push to tap into the "silver economy" as the city’s aging population grows.
Editor’s Note: With more Hong Kongers entering retirement, these products could help seniors stretch their savings—but it’s also a sign banks are scrambling to profit from a demographic shift. Whether these returns hold up (they’re "non-guaranteed," after all) is the real question for retirees banking on that income.
