AXA Term Protector (renamed, not withdrawn)
The AXA-era flagship that became today's HSBC Life Term Protector. No longer on HSBC Life’s current term-life page — existing policies continue on their original contract terms.
AXA Term Protector is the direct ancestor — and legally the same product line — as today's HSBC Life Term Protector. When HSBC acquired AXA Singapore (completed 11 Feb 2022), the AXA legal entity was renamed rather than wound up: HSBC Life (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. still carries AXA Insurance Pte Ltd's company registration (199903512M), and in-force policy terms were unchanged by the Scheme of Transfer.
For AXA-era holders the product is alive and well — what changed is everything around it: servicing moved from AXA/MyAXA to HSBC Life's channels, product and fund names were remapped, and payment payees changed. The checks below matter more than any benefit difference.

- Nothing material — this is a rename-continuity case, not a discontinued product; per-policy differences depend on the era purchased
Still holding a AXA Term Protector (renamed, not withdrawn) policy?
An adviser can help you:
- Read your original policy contract and confirm exactly what it still covers
- Compare keeping it against replacing it — legacy plans are sometimes worth keeping
- Check whether current HSBC Life plans fill any gaps it leaves
