On 2 September 2025, the Insurance Authority ("IA") issued a public reprimand and imposed a fine of $10 million on Tahoe Life Insurance Company Limited (Tahoe Life), which is to be borne by its shareholders' fund. This disciplinary action was taken due to related party transactions executed by Tahoe Life between July 2019 and April 2020, without prior consent from the IA. The transactions involved Tahoe Group Global (Co.) Limited. At the material time, both Mr Huang Qisen and Mr Ge Yong were directors of the insurer, but have since been deemed unfit and proper and have relinquished their key management roles.
In response to these concerns, the IA implemented a series of supervisory measures to protect the interests of policyholders. These measures included asset ring-fencing, tightened internal controls, and investment restrictions. On 26 July 2024, Joint and Several Managers were appointed to oversee the affairs, business, and property of Tahoe Life. These disciplinary actions are not expected to impact the policyholders of Tahoe Life.
