Hong Hao, from the local BOCOM International Holdings Company, believes the cheaper prices and higher returns of insurance products in Hong Kong play a key role in attracting mainland buyers.
来自香港交通银行国际控股公司的洪浩认为，香港保险产品价廉利多是吸引大陆购买者的关键因素。
"Insurance products sold in Hong Kong are, in general, cheaper than those sold in the mainland market. In some extreme cases, we've seen 50 percent discount between Hong Kong products and mainland products. For example, in the past 10 years, the average expected return for Hong Kong insurance products is five to nine percent. I think on the mainland it's probably less than five percent. So if you assume the currency exchange rateis stable, then the return of the Hong Kong insurance products here can be a lot more attractive."
“通常情况下，香港的保险产品比大陆市场的要便宜。一些极端例子中，香港产品和大陆产品之间价格甚至相差一半的折扣。比如，在过去十年里，香港保险产品的平均期望收益是5%-9%，而大陆的则要低于5%。所以，如果你只要确定汇率稳定，那么香港保险产品的回报就更吸引人。”
Analysts say that insurance products provided in Hong Kong outstrip those offered on the mainland also in many other aspects, such as product innovation, scope of protection and the quality of service.
分析师表示，香港提供的保险产品在其他很多方面也超过大陆产品，比如产品创新，维护目标和服务质量。
