Siam Commercial Bank has launched the Infinity Legacy life insurance product together with its partner FWD Life Insurance to target Private Banking clients, offering the longest coverage in the market up to age 120 and accepting policyholders from age 60 to 90. In the insurance market, no coverage has previously been offered up to age 90 for Private Banking clients. Dr. Niti Nuengjamnong, Head of Wealth Planning and Family Office at Siam Commercial Bank, said Thailand and the Asian region are in the midst of a great wave of inheritance and wealth transfer between generations, or a Wealth Succession Wave, with many families already passing wealth on to Gen X and Gen Y. Meanwhile, Ms. Naphatcha Pongwattanakijkul, Head of Insurance Business at Siam Commercial Bank, said the bank divides SCB WEALTH clients into three groups: Private, FIRST and PRIME, each with a combined customer base ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. SCB has set a total sales target for Infinity Legacy of 2.8 billion baht, split into 2 billion baht in single-premium insurance and 800 million baht in two-year premium insurance.

Siam Commercial Bank, in collaboration with FWD Life Insurance, has launched the Multi Asset 14/6 (Index Linked) endowment life insurance product. This product combines life protection with the opportunity to earn returns linked to the Canopy(a) index, developed by Goldman Sachs, using a multi-asset investment strategy that adjusts allocations based on economic and inflation signals. The product guarantees annual cashback and a return of premiums at maturity, with the potential to earn up to 2.65 times the index return in policy years 13 and 14. It targets Mass Affluent customers with a minimum annual premium of 50,000 baht and High Net Worth customers with premiums starting at 1 million baht per year. Premiums are tax-deductible up to 100,000 baht, and no medical examination is required. The new presenters are Peach Pachara and Som Thanatcha.

FWD Life Assurance, in partnership with Siam Commercial Bank, has launched a new savings insurance product with an Index-Linked structure called "Multi Asset 14/6." This product combines life coverage, savings, and the opportunity for additional returns linked to the Canopy 11.5% Volatility with 3% Decrement Index, developed by Goldman Sachs, using a multi-asset diversification strategy. The target customers are Mass Affluent clients with a minimum annual premium of 50,000 baht, and High Net Worth clients with premiums starting at 1 million baht per year. The product offers an annual cashback of 1% of the sum assured for years 1-13, and a maturity benefit of 590% of the sum assured, plus the opportunity for additional returns from the index, with a maximum participation rate of 2.65 times for the Multi Asset Elite version, which requires a sum assured of at least 1 million baht. Premiums are tax-deductible up to 100,000 baht, and no medical examination is required. However, returns from the index are not guaranteed, and the index has a 3% annual decrement, which may cause returns to differ from direct investment.
