To change the ownership of a policy, the current policy owner(s) and new policy owner(s) need to complete a Change of Ownership form. If you have an investment policy, then we recommend you call us to check you have the correct form. The correct Change of Ownership form needs to be posted or emailed to us.
Change of ownership - the process
Your adviser can help you with this process. In order to complete the Change of Ownership form, you will need to:
Enter the name of the current owner or owners. If there's more than one owner, all must sign the current owner section, even if they will also be one of the new owners.
Enter the name of the new owner/s. All new owners must sign the Change of Ownership form. Note: If you are currently an owner and wish to remain an owner, please sign the New Owner section.
Post or email the Change of Ownership form to us and we'll take it from there.
Change of ownership - important notes
There are several important things to keep in mind when completing the Change of Ownership form:
Witnesses must be 16 years of age or older who are not associated with the policy.
A trust cannot own the policy. However, the individual trustees can become owners provided there is no reference to the trust.
If the policy is owned by a bank, the bank must sign and stamp the form.
If the policy is owned by a company, with multiple directors - we require signatures of at least 2 directors.
The change of ownership is not valid until registered by AIA.
Please post the original form or email a scanned copy.

Your premium is how much your insurance cover costs. In most cases you can choose to pay weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or annually. Making more frequent payments can help you manage your cash flow more easily, helping you to keep your cover in place.
We review premiums regularly so that we can continue to provide the best cover possible, while keeping premiums balanced and competitively priced. A number of factors can influence the cost of your premiums such as your age, occupation, health, lifestyle, the type of cover you choose and the rates we use to calculate premiums.
The premiums you pay reflect the likelihood of you, and people like you, making a claim. We consider the number of claims paid each year, reflecting changes in health and life expectancy, or in the case of health cover, the rising cost of medical treatments to determine the likelihood of claims being paid.
Standard premiums typically increase throughout your policy, changing annually with your age. This is referred to as Rate for Age cover.
Level premiums, however, is a payment structure where your premiums do not change annually to reflect your age. Premiums will remain unchanged if there are no changes to underlying premium rates and the cover is not CPI linked. Level premiums are more expensive than Rate for Age premiums at the beginning of your cover period, but over time can be more economical because they do not increase annually with your age.
We encourage you to speak to your adviser if you would like to know more about Level premiums and whether it might be right for you.
The consumers price index (CPI) measures the changing price of goods and services purchased by New Zealand households. The CPI is calculated by Statistics NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa (Stats NZ) and published quarterly. The change in the CPI is a measure of inflation i.e. the rate at which the cost of goods and services has increased.
If you have selected your insurance benefits to be CPI linked, on each policy anniversary date, the amount of cover under the relevant benefit will increase to account for the change in the CPI. This helps the value of your insurance keep up with increases in the cost of living.
If you don’t want the CPI increase to be applied in a particular year, other options may be available and are outlined in your anniversary letter. You can discuss these with your adviser or contact AIA directly.
You can contact AIA if you do not want the amount of your cover under the relevant benefits to be increased for a particular year. The policy fee is a contribution towards the cost of setting up and administering your policy. To keep it simple and transparent, our policy fee is flat, regardless of the level of cover or benefits you have. The policy fee is reviewed on a yearly basis to reflect inflation.
Some examples of what the policy fee covers:
Administering customers' policies in our systems;
Producing policy documents, schedules, review letters, quotes etc.; and
Being available to answer customer queries and to lodge claims.
In some instances it's possible to suspend investments payments.
If you have insurance cover on the same policy as your investment, or you pay a policy fee, the cost of this may be deducted from your investment balance while your contributions are suspended.
You may wish to cash in all or part of your investment or transfer to a new investment, provided that the terms of your investment allow you to do so.
Your financial adviser should be your first point of contact for any queries you have about your investment.
