I feel very proud of the smashing success of my team, who has won us six accolades at the 2022 Benchmark Wealth Management Awards, taking home the grand title of 'Insurance Company of the Year 2022'. We shall continue our commitment to nurturing our talents to become great Life Artisans, crafting the best insurance solutions for our customers and creating meaningful shared value."

Our Partnership Distribution team and Premier Business team are committed to delivering the ideal business solutions, and the best possible pre-sale and after-sale support to our brokers and their customers. Meanwhile, FTLife also continues to optimise its information technology infrastructures, providing a one-stop digital platform that empowers its partners to operate their business with ease.

True to its accolade as the "Academy of the Year", FTLife places great emphasis on talent development. Last year, FTLife repositioned its consultants as "Life Artisans", equipping them to provide comprehensive planning and protection for our customers to meet their needs at different life stages. As a keen believer in innovative technologies, on top of AI Drill, FTLife also launched a virtual reality zone at The GalaMuse, where our Life Artisans understand a person's potential needs for protection and wealth management in different life stages effectively, enabling them to provide the best life planning to our customers. Innovative learning experiences will also provide insight into Life Artisans' personal development, as well as their career development in the insurance industry.

FTLife's VHIS Certified Plan "FlexiCare" Medical Insurance Plan has been awarded with the "Health Care Product - Best-in-Class", thanks to its immense popularity in the market. With its benefit limit calculated on a per disability per policy year basis, the product offers double aggregate limit to common major illnesses including major cancer, severe heart attack, stroke, respiratory diseases, and any disease declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In addition, the coverages are globally applicable*, enabling customers to enjoy comprehensive medical insurance without geographical restrictions.

Passionate about changing for a better future, FTLife has integrated social media engagement with traditional media and off-line advertisement (such as on the MTR platforms) in its recent branding/recruitment campaign under the theme of "Championing Spirit". Taking reference of the digital platform and social media consumption patterns of various audience groups, FTLife was able to enhance both customer engagement and interaction rates. The success of this impactful campaign, and the effectiveness of FTLife's overall social media engagement strategies were further affirmed by the "Social Media Engagement - Outstanding Achiever" Award.
