Company Name
IWS Financial Group Limited (IWS Financial). Hong Kong Registered Company Number 1377619.
Company Description
IWS Financial is an unlisted public company developing retirement funding products to better meet the financial needs of the ageing population.
IWS Financial is a Fintech and Insuretech disrupter.
Mission Statement
“IWS Financial Group Limited leads intelligent innovation in financial products through the development of next-generation retirement funding solutions, product platforms and financial instruments.
It is core to our objective to develop financial products that are low risk, fiscally responsible and deliver better financial outcomes for both our licensed financial institutions and their customers, in order to improve people’s lives in retirement.”
IWS Financial
IWS Financial is bringing to market the Annuity Mortgage™ – a new financial instrument developed to monetize capital tied up in housing without losing the house to the Lender or depleting the Borrowers’ original home equity to deliver long-term tax-free annuity income.
This is a game-changer for banks, insurance carriers, and financial planners that, finally, overcomes the obvious deficiencies of traditional equity release products, such as reverse mortgages.
IWS Financial is not a retailer of mortgages.
The Company makes its Annuity Mortgage™ available only to regulated financial institutions (such as banks and life insurers) under licence to brand and distribute their own financial products or to financial services partners as co-branded white-label financial products distributed through independent financial advisers.
The Technology
The Annuity Mortgage™ is a disruptive technology exclusively made available to IWS Financial. It is a new financial instrument to monetize home equity and can be used in a variety of ways:
- To fund a fixed term annuity
- For lifetime income for retirees in retirement
- As voluntary contributions to top up superannuation for pre-retirees
- To double yield on residential investment properties for high net worth individuals
- To fund products and services bundled with the mortgage
- For tax-free income for persons of any age owning unencumbered residential property
Financial planners estimate that self-funded retirees need 65% of pre-retirement income to live comfortably in their retirement. However, it is clear that most pre-retirees and retirees are under-funded for their retirement.
The need for a new financial instrument is now being widely recognised by central banks and industry experts but the traditional banking and insurance industries have simply not responded:
“The global retirement income stream market is a growing market with a clear consumer need that does not appear to be being fully satisfied by the current range of products available….”
Institute of Actuaries of Australia
Given that the world’s ageing population is not expected to peak until 2050, this is rapidly becoming a major fiscal issue in all OECD countries.
“The phenomena of ageing are one of the key long-run developments our society faces…I am sure this will provide business opportunities of one form or other for the more alert and innovative market participants…
Instruments which facilitate the transformation of assets into long-run income streams will be increasingly needed.”
Governor, Reserve Bank of Australia
The Annuity Mortgage™ is proprietary intellectual property being protected by patent and trademark applications.
IWS Financial will disrupt the retirement funding, financial advice and reverse mortgage industries and introduce new capital inflows from home equity to the capital markets and RBMS securitization programs.
The Opportunity
Following successful Angel Funding of over $3,000,000 provided by its Foundation Shareholders, IWS Financial is now raising Seed Capital and locking in Devleopment Partners for a product launch initially in the UK and Australian markets, to be followed later by the USA.
