Development Officer Paolo Puno, and President and CEO Raoul Littaua.
Despite inclement weather, InLife’s (Insular Life)
most-valued policyholders turned out in force for the Front Seat Midyear Market
Outlook and Client Forum in Cebu City, the Queen City of the South.
InLife hosted a forum, titled “Pathways to
Opportunities: Strategies for a Shifting Landscape” in partnership with
BlackRock Singapore Inc., a leading investment and risk management firm based
in Singapore, to discuss global investment trends and prospects, and help
policyholders make informed decisions about their investments.
Ron Lantin, InLife’s fund manager, acknowledged that
Philippine equities remain challenged as the country has yet to return to
pre-pandemic levels. “Despite the risks, however, growth prospects are
promising, given an improving inflation outlook and rate cut expectations. The
market's attractive valuations and low foreign ownership also offer upside
potential, making local equities a viable investment option for policyholders,”
he said.
Terena Kuo, BlackRock’s Vice President for Southeast
Asia, underscored the need to diversify out of cash, local assets and single
company stocks and bonds. “Many clients are enticed to take advantage of high
deposit interest and bond yields. Historically though, the highest 12-month
returns for equity and fixed income portfolios occur for those investing during
these rate pauses that we are currently in,” she said. Kuo also discussed
potential scenarios in the upcoming US elections, drawing from decades of data
which suggest that markets seek to perform well regardless of the ruling
political party.
Paolo Puno, InLife’s Product Development Officer, for
his part, focused on attractive income through a data-driven and sustainable
investment approach. Highlighting the merits of InLife’s Global Sustainable
Income Fund that utilizes BlackRock’s data-driven approach to seek monthly
income and long-term growth, he noted that the fund delivered a yield of 6.86%
last July.
InLife’s Chief Agency Officer Stephen Ong, meanwhile,
expressed appreciation to the policyholders for their continued trust in InLife
and to the agency force in Cebu for championing the company’s mission of
helping Filipinos lead A Lifetime for Good.
Ong pointed out that as of the second quarter of this
year, InLife maintained its position among the country’s top life insurers,
ranking 3rd in Net Worth, 4th in Assets, and 5th in sales performance. “Far
more important than these numbers are you, our Amorsolo Circle members. We will
continue to engage you and keep you updated with our company and your
investments and improve the perks and benefits for you. InLife is committed to
ensure that you are well taken care of.”
The Market Outlook and Client Forum is one of the
perks of InLife’s Amorsolo Circle members. “The Amorsolo Circle is InLife’s
exclusive program for our VIP policyholders. We conduct market outlook forums,
social events, musical performances, and art exhibitions. We also provide
priority servicing lanes, relaxed underwriting requirements, and exclusive
product offers to our Amorsolo Circle members,” said Divina P. Gillego, InLife
Marketing Division’s High Net-Worth Individuals Segment Head.
InLife Policyholders with active policies with total
premium contributions of at least P1 million from regular pay products or P10
million from single pay products are automatically enrolled in the Amorsolo
Circle program.
