AIA Hong Kong continues to lead the insurance industry with the most market No.1* in Q1 2025
Mr Alger Fung, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, “The continued achievements would not have been possible without our team’s daily commitment to putting our customers first. We are also deeply grateful to our customers for their long-standing trust and support.
Our unwavering commitment to customer centricity is the cornerstone of our sustained leadership in the industry. We are fortunate that AIA is powered by a remarkable pool of talent driving our growth. This was recently reaffirmed by the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) rankings, where AIA Hong Kong not only secured the No. 1 position in MDRT, COT, and TOT locally, but also achieved four global No. 1 rankings—including top honours in both MDRT and TOT. We will keep going beyond for our customers and inspire communities to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”
These achievements underscore the strength of AIA Hong Kong’s Premier Agency strategy and the unwavering dedication of our financial planners, who consistently go above and beyond to serve customers with professionalism and care. Moreover, they stand as a testament to AIA Hong Kong’s innovative and comprehensive propositions, which provide holistic solutions across health, wealth, and MPF—supporting the diverse needs of both individual and corporate customers.
AIA Hong Kong’s customer-first mindset is also reflected in the digital experiences it delivers. The AIA+ mobile app continues to lead the trend, driving innovation in customer engagement. With millions of downloads and the highest mobile app ratings among key Hong Kong insurers#, AIA+ is fostering stronger connections and deeper trust with our customers.
Putting customers first also means caring for the broader community. As a purpose-led brand, AIA actively empowers individuals and communities to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives. Programmes such as AIA Vitality and the AIA Healthiest Schools Programme are enhancing health literacy and fostering long-term wellbeing across generations.
As the community continues to face rising medical inflation, AIA Hong Kong took the lead in convening cross-sector stakeholders at the inaugural Healthcare Financing Summit to explore collaborative solutions that make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and sustainable—for both the community and future generations.
AIA Hong Kong is also finding creative ways to deepen public understanding of the insurance industry. A recent example is the sponsorship of the TVB drama 《中年好翻身》, which uses the insurance profession as a backdrop to explore themes of resilience and personal growth—highlighting the professionalism and meaningful role our financial planners play in customers’ lives.
Looking ahead, AIA will continue to bring international experiences to Hong Kong. On 31 July, AIA will lead the first-ever North London Derby at the Hong Kong Football Festival 2025, as the Global Principal Partner of Tottenham Hotspur. AIA Hong Kong is also proud to be the title sponsor of G.E.M.’s I AM GLORIA World Tour – Hong Kong stop, further enriching the city’s cultural landscape.

Topuria officially joined the global 1win VIP Community on June 2, becoming part of the brand’s exclusive project that unites prominent figures from sports, music, and entertainment. Two weeks later, he is set to headline UFC Freedom 250 against Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification bout in the White House. The event is already being described as one of the most memorable spectacles in combat sports history.
“It’s not gonna be the biggest in UFC history – it’s gonna be one of the biggest events in sports history,” Topuria said ahead of the fight.
The bout marks the first defense of the lightweight title Topuria captured last year when he knocked out former champion Charles Oliveira to become only the tenth fighter in UFC history to win titles in two different weight classes. Holding a professional record of 17-0-0, “El Matador” Topuria enters the contest looking to further cement his legacy.
Known for his confidence and tireless pursuit of excellence, Topuria believes success is built on preparation rather than chance, a mindset that aligns closely with the philosophy behind the 1win VIP Community.
“Life is a game. Most people sit and hope for luck. I find it inefficient. I prefer control and precision, because when you set your own rules, winning stops being a surprise. If that’s your way of life, you’re welcome at my table with 1win,” stressed Topuria upon joining the 1win VIP community.
The fighter has repeatedly demonstrated confidence ahead of his clash with Gaethje, emphasizing his discipline, hard work, and dedication.
Ilia Topuria joins a growing roster of internationally recognized athletes and entertainers engaging with 1win, including 1win VIP member, rapper Tyga, and brand ambassadors and UFC fighters Jon Jones, Gable Steveson, and Ignacio Bahamondes.

This year’s forum is an important supporting event of the 18th Cross-Strait Forum. During the event, nine Fujian-Taiwan financial integration projects were signed, with a total value of RMB 9.1 billion. The projects cover a wide range of financial services across areas including cross-strait industrial cooperation, water supply security for public welfare, capacity upgrades for long-established Taiwan-funded enterprises, technology and innovation industries, and modern agriculture. These initiatives continue to unlock the benefits of financial policies, promote shared access to financial resources for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, and inject new momentum into industrial integration between Fujian and Taiwan.
At the forum, the Cross-Strait Wealth and Asset Management Cross-Sector Alliance was officially inaugurated. Supported by Jinyuan Group and jointly proposed by its affiliated financial institutions, the alliance was co-founded by Xiamen International Trust, Jinyuan Uni-President Securities, Yuanxin Yongfeng Fund, Fubon Bank (China), Junlong Life Insurance, and Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, among others. Centered on serving the wealth management and asset management needs of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the alliance aims to build a one-stop service platform covering asset allocation for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises on the mainland, family trusts and wealth succession planning, pension finance, and healthcare protection solutions.
The forum also unveiled a series of innovative financial achievements related to Taiwan. The banking industry’s first group standard dedicated to Taiwan-related financial services on the mainland, the “Specification for Taiwan-Related Financial Services of Banking Financial Institutions,” was officially released. At the same time, the “Bailufen” Taiwan Compatriot Financial Service Platform was introduced, further enhancing financial services for Taiwan compatriots living in Fujian and supporting the development of Taiwan-funded enterprises.
