AXA China Region is to invest $300 million to develop its Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) business, according to chief executive Mark Pearson.
Mr Pearson said MPF plans would eventually be expected to contribute about half of the company's premium income.
He said the MPF business was expected to break even in five to seven years.
However, each of the company's 3,000 agents would need to sell two MPF plans each month during the next 10 months for AXA China Region to secure a targeted 20 per cent market share, said Alex Cheung Kim-fung, the firm's head of MPF business.
'To secure a 20 per cent MPF market share, our 3,000 agents would need to sell the MPF plans to 60,000 employers,' he said.
The company would offer competitive commission rates for its agents, said Mr Cheung.
