Contingent Insured
Flexible Financial Management
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 three components:
- Non-guaranteed dividends1 (if any) will be payable starting from the 5th policy anniversary and every policy anniversary thereafter, providing you with a stream of potential returns.
- You may leave the non-guaranteed dividends (if any) in the policy to accumulate interest1 or withdraw2 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.
- Guaranteed cash value grows over the policy years, helping you accumulate wealth.
Split your policy and pass it to your loved ones
You can distribute your wealth in the way you choose by exercising the hassle-free “policy split option”4, which allows you to divide your policy into multiple policies as you wish, whether you desire to pass your wealth to your next generation or prepare funds for your retirement.
Starting from the 5th policy anniversary, you may exercise the policy split option 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 insured5 to continue to accumulate 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” option5. Starting from the 1st policy anniversary, you can change the insured 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.
Contingent insured to sustain insurance coverage
You can appoint and prioritize a maximum of 2 contingent insureds6 at a time while the insured is alive and the policy is in force. In case the insured unfortunately passes away, we will arrange the contingent insured who is first in line to be the new insured according to relevant administrative procedures and orders. The policy will continue to be effective and the policy value will keep growing. Together with the change of policyholder, you can pass on a legacy to future generations.
Life protection and settlement options
In case the insured unfortunately passes away while the policy is in force and there is no contingent insured under the policy, we will pay the beneficiary a death benefit which is equal to the higher of:
- 101% of accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured; or
- sum of guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend3 (if any) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured
+ accumulated non-guaranteed dividends (if any) and interest1 (if any);
─ all indebtedness (if any).
The policy will be terminated after we pay the death benefit.
While the insured is alive, you can choose how the death benefit is to be paid. You can choose to settle the benefit in a lump sum or by instalments7 with a fixed amount in cash annually over a fixed payment term of 10, 20 or 30 years, helping you to safeguard your family’s financial future.
Flexible access to your wealth
To realize your financial goals, you can partially withdraw the guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend3 (if any) through reducing the basic amount8. The policy value and death benefit will be reduced accordingly while the accumulated non-guaranteed dividends (if any) and interest1 (if any) will remain unchanged.
Alternatively, you can apply for policy loan to borrow 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.
Full surrender settlement option
Financial needs vary at different stages of life. You may exercise full policy surrender when needed and the Plan will provide a surrender value. You can choose to receive such payment11 in a lump sum9 or by instalments10 to enjoy greater financial flexibility and cater to your specific needs.
For the instalment option, while the policy is in force, you can apply to exercise the “annuity conversion option” starting from the policy anniversary when the insured reaches age 65 and every policy anniversary thereafter to convert the guaranteed cash value, accumulated non-guaranteed dividends (if any) and interest1 (if any) and non-guaranteed terminal dividend3 (if any), less all unpaid premiums (if any) and indebtedness (if any) to annuity. Such application should be received by the Company 30 days before the relevant policy anniversary. The amount mentioned above will be transferred to the annuity conversion account and become total annuity amount. The annuity can be paid out by annual instalments over a payment term of 10 or 20 years, giving you a stable stream of retirement income.
24-hour worldwide emergency assistance service
If the insured is diagnosed with an illness or is injured in an accident outside the country of residence, he/she can access comprehensive coverage under the free 24-hour worldwide emergency assistance service12.
Simplified underwriting
To enable you to achieve your goals with ease, application of the Plan is easy. Simplified underwriting procedures are available and no medical examination is required.

- Terminal dividend is a one-off dividend and is non-guaranteed. Amount of terminal dividend shown in proposal illustration is just an indicative figure.

The accumulated interest (if any) will be paid together with the last instalment of death benefit. If the beneficiary(ies) dies at any time before the Company has fully paid the death benefit, the Company shall pay the remaining balance of the death benefit with accumulated interest (if any) in a lump sum payment to the respective personal representative for the estate of the deceased beneficiary(ies) (in accordance with their entitlement, where applicable). The policy shall terminate when the death benefit is paid in full.
If the total amount of death benefit at the date of the insured’s death is less than HKD400,000/USD50,000, or the policyholder has not confirmed any settlement option of death benefit before the date of death of the insured, we will pay out the benefit amount to the beneficiary in a lump sum. - “Basic amount” means the amount shown on the policy information page or endorsement as the “basic amount”. The basic amount is used to calculate the premium and relevant values of the policy, but 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 and relevant values of the policy will be adjusted accordingly.
- For the lump sum option, the policy will be terminated after the surrender value is paid in full.
- For the instalment option (i.e. exercising “annuity conversion option”), once the application for annuity conversion option is approved by the Company, the relevant amount will be transferred to the annuity conversion account as soon as practicable and will become total annuity amount, while the remaining policy deposit (if any) will be paid as a lump sum payment to the policyholder. The actual amount to be converted will only be determined after the application has been approved by the Company. No change, cancellation, withdrawal or termination will be allowed once policyholder submits the application for exercising the option. The total annuity amount cannot be restored or reversed to policy value.
After exercising the annuity conversion option and on the date of the Company approving such application, the Company shall only be responsible for the payment under such option and any other provision of the policy shall no longer be applicable.

The policyholder can withdraw the value of annuity conversion account in full once as a lump sum payment during the annuity period. In the event the policyholder (as the annuitant) is a natural person and dies during the annuity period, we will pay the value of annuity conversion account in a lump sum to the personal representative for the estate of the deceased policyholder. The policy shall terminate when the surrender value is paid in full.
If the amount mentioned above is less than HKD400,000/USD50,000, or you have not selected any settlement option, you will receive the relevant amount in a lump sum. - The amount you will receive for policy surrender may be less than the total amount of premiums paid regardless of the settlement option selected.
