New insurance rule far from transparent on fee disclosure

The Hong Kong insurance industry will raise its disclosure on fees in mid-April. However, buyer beware, most consumers will not notice a difference.

In a nutshell, brokers must disclose fees on insurance sales only if it is higher than that "customarily paid", or so says a circular from the Confederation of Insurance Brokers, a trade body.

At stake is the degree to which sales people are required to disclose commission income on insurance products.
