Insurance Planning

High-net-worth clients, because they possess substantial assets and bear responsibility for their employees, have insurance needs that are fundamentally different from those of the general public.


In terms of protecting against the business owner’s personal accidents, corporate liabilities, the owner’s medical needs, and employee medical coverage, their risk management and insurance planning considerations are distinctly unique.


Below is a summary outlining the meaning and purpose of six major types of life insurance.

1. Asset Protection

Business owners almost inevitably face the possibility of litigation. Insurance policies provide a degree of asset protection. In practice, however, a policy may still be subject to provisional attachment or compulsory enforcement.


A life insurance contract, because it generally contains a savings component, is regarded as a property right and may serve as an object of compulsory execution. However, in current judicial practice, when a creditor applies for provisional attachment or compulsory enforcement, the court typically permits only the seizure of the debtor’s exercisable rights under the policy. These rights may include policy surrender, policy loans, changes of policy owner or beneficiary, amendments to contract terms, or policy conversion.


As for the policy’s cash value (policy reserve), courts often reject a creditor’s request to issue a seizure order on the grounds that “the policy reserve of a life insurance contract belongs to the insurer (the insurance company). Upon formal review, the enforcement court determines that it does not constitute the debtor’s attachable property.”

2. Wealth Firewall

Segregating Business and Family Assets:

Insurance can establish a firewall between family finances and business finances.


Even if a business fails, insurance can help ensure that you and your family are still provided for — preserving security, stability, and a place to call home.

3. An Additional Source of Capital for Business Recovery

For entrepreneurs, it is even more essential to establish a financial safety mechanism — to reserve a core pool of assets for themselves. In the event that the business encounters operational or investment risks, this reserve can serve as the capital needed for a comeback.

As Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing, once remarked, insurance should be regarded as the last lifeline for oneself and one’s family — a powerful illustration of the protective function insurance can provide.

4. Retirement Fund – Another Reserve Pool of Capital

The late “God of Management,” Wang Yung-ching, once said:

“A dollar you earn is not truly a dollar — a dollar you save is.”

Insurance is a powerful tool for enhancing the quality of retirement life. Much like a lifetime pension, it allows you to “live long and receive long,” providing financial support to the insured throughout their lifetime until death. The longer you live, the greater the total benefits you receive.

5. Tax Planning

An inheritance often triggers tax liabilities. While estate tax systems and rates vary from country to country, when a high proportion of wealth is tied up in assets and cash liquidity is insufficient, estate taxes can significantly deplete available cash — creating liquidity pressure and the risk of inadequate funds for urgent needs.


The “Tax Perspective” in Wealth Succession Planning:

The method and timing of asset transfer should be carefully selected based on the nature and classification of different assets.

If the net estate exceeds 100 million (local currency), the estate tax rate may reach 20%; therefore, proper advance planning and management are advisable.

Individuals holding dual citizenship, or those with assets distributed across multiple countries, must pay particular attention to cross-border tax exposure and tax liability management.

6. Wealth Succession


A comprehensive wealth succession plan must protect two essential components:

First, the income generated by the assets.
Second, the assets themselves.

When safeguarding assets, they generally fall into two categories:

Human capital

Tangible property

People are the driving force behind the creation of tangible wealth. Therefore, in designing a wealth succession plan, calculating and evaluating the value of human capital is one of the key considerations.
