Retirement bliss
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy and find bliss in retirement? After working for most of our lives, it would be great if we could flourish in our golden years and treat this as a happy time of our lives.
Recently, AXA Philippines launched its first retirement plan “Retire Smart.” The cruise-themed launch was designed to make guests imagine an enjoyable retired life.
Present at the launch to welcome guests were AXA Philippines president and CEO Rahul Hora, wealth management segment director Tony Isidro and chief customer officer Amor Balagtas.
Hora noted, “Here in the country and in other parts of Asia, retirement remains a neglected part of life. Our aim at AXA is to educate people on the importance of retirement and of planning for it as early as possible by offering the right solutions.”
Special guests, who talked about their thoughts, plans and tips for retirement, included writer and retired advertising executive
Barbara Gonzales, chef JP Anglo of Sarsa, young mom and Happy Skin Cosmetics founder Jacqueline Yuengtian Gutierrez and
former broadcast executive and chief designer and lifestyle curator of Monchet y Compania Jose Ramon “Monchet” Olives.
Isidro said, “Aside from being purposely designed to help you strategically build a future fund for retirement, Retire Smart also has life insurance. You can avoid adding to your family’s financial burdens in case something happens to you.”
Aside from the lively discussion, fun-filled activities were enjoyed all around the venue. There was a relaxing massage station, virtual reality activities, a cruise photo booth, and an exciting social media contest on board. These activities allowed guests to envision what they want to do when they retire.
With the launch of Retire Smart, more people can set sail towards a wonderful retirement.
