Plan Features

Plan Features

5-year premium payment term with whole life protection
By paying premium for 5 years1, you can enjoy whole life protection. The plan provides annual or monthly premium payment mode for your selection.

 

Multiple potential returns to accelerate wealth building
The Plan is a participating insurance plan that offers you potential capital growth. Its policy value consists of guaranteed cash value, non-guaranteed dividends2 (if any) and terminal dividend3 (if any).

Guaranteed cash value grows over the policy years helping you accumulate wealth.
Non-guaranteed dividends2 will be payable starting from the 1st policy anniversary and every policy anniversary thereafter, providing you with a stream of potential returns. You may leave the non-guaranteed dividends2 (if any) in the policy to accumulate interest4 or withdraw5 that to achieve different financial goals.
Terminal dividend3 is a one-off non-guaranteed dividend, which is payable from the 6th policy anniversary upon certain events.

 

Flexible access to your wealth for matching your needs
To cater to your financial needs, you can partially withdraw the guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend4 (if any) through reducing the basic amount6, the policy value and death benefit will be reduced accordingly.

Alternatively, you can apply for policy loan to loan out part of the guaranteed cash value when needed, while keeping the policy in force. Interest on policy loan which is not guaranteed will be charged at a rate determined by us from time to time.

 

Split your policy and pass it to your loved ones
You can distribute your wealth in the way you choose by easily exercising the “policy split option” 7, which allows you to divide your policy into multiple policies as you wish and pass on your wealth to your next generation.

Starting from the 5th policy anniversary, you may exercise the “policy split option”7 at any time to split the original policy into two or more new policies according to the designated percentages.

Once the policy split is completed, you may also apply for change of insured8, to allocate your legacy and enjoy greater flexibility on wealth allocation.

 

Unlimited change of insured and pass on wealth across generations
We understand you wish to provide your loved ones with a secure financial future. This is why the Plan features the “change of insured option” 8, allowing you to change the insured on or after the 1st policy anniversary for unlimited times while the insured is alive, giving your wealth more time to grow. Together with the change of policyholder, you can pass the policy down through generations.

The new insured must have insurable interest with the policyholder, and subject to the below terms and conditions:
(a) if the new insured’s attained age exceeds first insured’s attained age, the attained age of the new insured shall not exceed: (i) age 65; or (ii) the attained age of the first insured of the policy plus 10 years; whichever is lower;
(b) if the new insured’s attained age is equal to or below the first insured’s attained age, the attained age of the new insured shall not exceed age 80.

 

Contingent insured to sustain insurance coverage
You can designate a maximum of 2 contingent insureds9 at a time while the insured is alive and the policy is in force. In case the insured passes away, we will arrange the contingent insured who is first in line to be the new insured according to relevant administrative procedures and sequence for allowing the policy to continuously provide protection to you and your family.

The contingent insured must have insurable interest with the policyholder, and subject to the below terms and conditions:
(a) if the contingent insured(s)’s attained age (on an individual basis if more than one contingent insured) exceeds the first insured’s attained age, the attained age of contingent insured(s) shall not exceed: (i) age 65; or (ii) the attained age of the first insured of the policy plus 10 years; whichever is lower
(b) if the contingent insured(s)’s attained age (on an individual basis if more than one contingent insured) is equal to or below the first insured’s attained age, the attained age of the contingent insured(s) shall not exceed 80.

 

Life protection provides peace of mind to your loved ones

Death benefit
In case the insured passes away when the policy is in force and no contingent insured is assigned, we will pay the beneficiary a death benefit which is equal to the higher of below :

  1. 101% of the accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan; or
  2. sum of guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend3 (if any) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured,
    plus non-guaranteed accumulated dividends2 (if any) with interest4 (if any),
    less all indebtedness (if any) of the policy.


Where the insured does not survive the age of 180 days, the death benefit will be all premium paid.
The policy will be terminated after death benefit is paid in full.

 

Death benefit settlement option
While the insured is alive, you can choose how the death benefit is to be paid to safeguard your family’s financial future. You can choose to settle the benefits in a lump sum or by annual instalments with a fixed amount over a fixed payment term of 10, 20 or 30 years.

For the instalment option, the remaining balance of death benefit will be deposited in the policy to accumulate interest until the end of the payment term. The interest will be calculated on an annual basis and it is non-guaranteed which will be determined by us from time to time. The accumulated interest4 (if any) will be paid together with the last instalment of death benefit. If the beneficiary dies during the settlement period of the death benefit, we will pay the remaining balance of the death benefit with interest (if any) in a lump sum payment to the personal representative for the estate of the deceased beneficiary(ies).

If the death benefit at the date of the insured’s death is less than USD50,000 (for USD policy) or HKD400,000 (for HKD policy), or the policyholder does not specify any settlement option, we will pay out the benefit amount to the beneficiary in a lump sum.

The “basic amount” is used to calculate premium, guaranteed cash value, dividend (if any) and non-guaranteed terminal dividend (if any) but it is not applicable to the calculation of the “death benefit”. If the basic amount has been amended while the policy is in force, the said premium, guaranteed cash value, dividend (if any) and non-guaranteed terminal dividend (if any) will be adjusted accordingly.

Policy Information:

1. 
Dividend philosophy
Policyholders of participating insurance plans can enjoy the potential surplus arising from the long term operation of the participating fund via a form of non-guaranteed dividend in addition to the guaranteed benefits. Your premiums will usually be allocated into a relevant participating fund and will be invested in a variety of asset classes according to our investment strategy. We will manage the relevant participating fund in a prudent manner and aim to ensure a fair distribution of surplus and risks between policyholders and shareholders, and among different groups of policyholders.

As dividends are mainly affected by the overall performance of the participating business, in order to alleviate the volatility of achieved gains and losses and the future uncertainties, in particular, future investment returns, we may take moderate smoothing measures to achieve relatively more stable dividends and strive to meet policyholders’ reasonable expectation. We will maintain a fair distribution method or sharing ratio, and appropriate grouping to ensure policyholders are treated fairly, and to ensure policyholders’ benefit expectation and rights are protected.

The current dividend projection is not guaranteed. We will review and declare the dividend at least once a year. When determining the dividend, we will consider the overall performance of all relevant policies on factors including but not limited to past experience as well as future prospect of investment returns, claims and surrenders:
  • Investment return – including the interest income, dividend income, investment outlook and changes to asset values.
  • Claims – including the costs of providing death benefit as well as other benefits under the product(s).
  • Surrenders – including policy termination, partial surrenders and the corresponding experience and impact.


If there are any changes in the actual dividends against the illustration or to the projected future dividends, such changes will be reflected in the policy anniversary statement.

The declaration of actual dividends is recommended by the Appointed Actuary and is subject to the approval of the Board (including one or more Independent Non-Executive Director(s)).

For products that are associated with an element of non-guaranteed accumulation interest rate, the Company will consider past investment experience as well as future expected return and other related factors when determining this non-guaranteed interest rate. If there are changes from market, expectation or policyholder behavior, the Company may apply reasonable adjustments to the non-guaranteed interest rate.
   
2. 
Investment philosophy, policy and strategy
Our investment philosophy aims at containing volatility and providing long term stable return. Meanwhile, in order to control and diversify risks, maintain adequate liquidity, and achieve higher potential returns for policyholders under an acceptable risk appetite, we will invest in a wide range of asset classes with consideration of the status of assets and liabilities. The target asset mix may also differ between different participating products. We will actively manage the investment portfolio and adjust the asset mix in response to the external market conditions.
Currently, our investments include bonds and other fixed income assets, such as government and corporate bonds and other fixed income instruments, to support the guaranteed liability payment. To enhance the potential performance of the investment portfolio, the Company will invest in equity-type assets and other investment instruments such as private funds, mutual funds and direct/indirect investment in properties or commercial institutions. Subject to our investment policy, we may also utilise derivatives to manage risks (including but not limited to currency risk) and enhance returns, or use security lending to improve returns. The investment portfolio will be diversified across different geographic regions and / or industries.

China Life (Overseas)’s current investment strategy on this participating plan is as follows:
Asset type Target asset mix (%)
Bonds and other fixed income instruments 30% to 90%
Equity-type investment and other investments 10% to 70%

Please refer to China Life (Overseas)’s website www.chinalife.com.hk/products/dividend-philosophy-and-investment-strategy for dividend history, dividend philosophy, investment strategy, as well as the fulfillment ratio of China Life (Overseas).
   
3. 
Policy loan
You can apply for the policy loan where the maximum loanable value of the policy loan will be equal to a certain percentage of the guaranteed cash value (currently 90% of guaranteed cash value), as determined and revised by China Life (Overseas) from time to time. Interest compounded at the rate per annum determined and revised by China Life (Overseas) from time to time will be charged on the policy loan. The interest rate of the policy loan is generally higher than loans offered by banks. For inquiry about the applicable interest and charges on the policy loan, please contact China Life (Overseas). All policy loans are interest-bearing and calculated at a rate (as stated on China Life (Overseas) website www.chinalife.com.hk) to be declared by us from time to time. Interest accrued shall become a part of the indebtedness. If the policy loan with its accumulated interest equals to or exceeds the accumulated guaranteed cash value in the policy, the policy will be automatically terminated and will become invalid. Policy loan will reduce the policy’s death benefit and surrender value.
   
4. 
Non-payment of premium / automatic premium loan
You should pay premium(s) on time according to the selected premium payment term. If the due premium(s) remains unpaid upon the expiry of the grace period, an automatic premium loan will be taken out against the policy to settle the unpaid premium automatically. All premium loans are interest-bearing and calculated at a rate (as stated on China Life (Overseas)’s website www.chinalife.com.hk) to be declared by us from time to time. Interest accrued shall become a part of the indebtedness. When the loan balance is equal to or exceeds the guaranteed cash value of the basic plan of the policy, the policy will be lapsed and you will lose the related benefits and suffer a financial loss. Under these circumstances, the surrender value of the policy will be deducted to repay the outstanding loan balance (including interest), and the remaining value will be refunded to you.
   
5.  Exclusions and limitations
The information stated in the above information is for reference only. Please refer to the “general provisions” and “benefit provisions” for the detailed terms and conditions, and limitations such as incontestability, suicide and fraud, etc. or all exclusions, or contact the Bank’s staff for details.
 
What are the key product risks with the plan?

Credit risk:
This Plan is a life insurance policy issued by China Life (Overseas). Any premium paid will become part of our assets and our financial strength will affect our ability to meet our contractual obligations to you under the policy. Therefore, you are subject to our credit risk.

Early surrender risk:
The savings component of the Plan is subject to risks and possible losses. Should you surrender the policy early, you may receive an amount considerably less than the total amount of premiums paid.

Exchange rate and currency risks:
Any policy with foreign currencies involves risks, such as potential changes in political or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency. The fluctuations in exchange rates may also cause financial losses to you during currency conversions. You should take exchange rate risk into consideration when deciding the policy currency.

The policy currency of the Plan offers HKD and USD. Currency exchange rate can go up and down. If the policy currency is USD but calculated in HKD, the calculation is subject to the exchange rate. There is a risk that you could lose a substantial portion of total value of the policy or benefit if the policy currency depreciates substantially against your local currency. China Life (Overseas) will base on the prevailing market-based exchange rate of that respective currency to the policy currency and / or from the relevant sources at the time of processing such conversion, which will be subject to change from time to time. Such exchange rate may be different from the exchange rate offered by the Bank.

Inflation risk:
The cost of living in the future may be higher than expected due to the effects of inflation. Therefore, your current projected benefits and / or returns may be insufficient to meet your future needs even if China Life (Overseas) fulfills all of our contractual terms and obligations.

Liquidity and withdrawal risk:
You are obliged to hold the policy and pay the premium(s) for the designated period of time. If you surrender the policy early, you may suffer a financial loss. In case you make partial withdrawals from the policy, your policy value, death benefit and other policy benefits will be affected, and you may need to pay the relevant handling fee (if any).

Non-guaranteed benefit:
The Plan consists of non-guaranteed benefits and / or return. The actual amounts of benefits and / or returns in the future may be different from the benefits and / or returns which project on the product materials. The product materials are for illustrative purposes only.

Policy termination:
The policy shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events (whichever is the earliest): (a) the policy is surrendered; or (b) China Life (Overseas) has paid the death benefit in full; or (c) the due premium has not been paid within 31 days after the premium due date, and the policy has no remaining guaranteed cash value; or (d) the indebtedness of the policy is equal to or exceeds the guaranteed cash value of the policy; or (e) application of “policy split option” is approved by China Life (Overseas) and is effective.

Effective from 1 January 2018, all policyholders are required to pay a levy on each premium payment made for both new and in-force policies to the Insurance Authority (the “IA”). For premium levy details, please visit our website at www.chinalife.com.hk or contact our customer service hotline at (852) 3999 5519 or visit IA’s website at www.ia.org.hk.
