Wealth accumulation for a bright future
Terminal dividend to grow your wealth
The Plan provides terminal dividend1 to help you accelerate wealth building. Terminal dividend is a one-off non-guaranteed dividend. Starting from the 3rd policy anniversary, the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) will be payable upon policy surrender or policy maturity; while the face value of terminal dividend (if any) will be payable upon the death of the insured.
Terminal dividend management option to help you lock in gains
To facilitate your financial need, starting from the 15th policy anniversary and every policy anniversary thereafter, you can apply to exercise the “terminal dividend management option”2 to lock in a designated percentage of the cash value of terminal dividend of the policy, provided that such application is received by the Company within 30 days from the relevant policy anniversary (including the date of policy anniversary). This option can only be exercised once for each policy year. The minimum percentage for each application is 10% and the maximum aggregate percentage of all applications is 50%. The cash value of terminal dividend which is applied to lock in will be transferred to the terminal dividend management account and will become locked-in terminal dividend. The locked-in terminal dividend will then be guaranteed and will accumulate with interest (if any)3 at a non-guaranteed rate. You may also withdraw from the terminal dividend management account for extra liquidity.
Preserve your legacy with life protection
Substantial life protection
The Plan provides substantial life protection up to age 138 of the insured. Should the worst happen, it can secure your family financially through wealth transfer in the form of life protection. As one progresses in life, his/her financial commitments may be eased, so the level of life protection under the Plan will be lowered gradually to balance the protection need at different stages of life.
If the insured passes away while the policy is in force, we will pay the beneficiary a death benefit which is equivalent to the highest of:
(i) designated percentage of the sum assured of the basic plan4 at the date of death of the insured;
(ii) 100% of the accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan; or
(iii) guaranteed cash value of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured;
+ face value of terminal dividend1 (if any);
+ total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any);
─ all indebtedness (if any).
The policy will be terminated after we pay the death benefit.
Death benefit settlement option
While the insured is alive, you can choose how the death benefit is to be paid5. You can choose to pay the beneficiary(ies) the benefits in a lump sum or by annual installments with a fixed amount over a fixed payment term of 10, 20 or 30 years, helping you to safeguard his or her family’s financial future.
If the total amount of death benefit at the date of death of the insured 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.
Flexibility in retirement planning
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 payment8 in a lump sum6 or by installments7 to enjoy greater financial flexibility and cater to your specific needs.
For the installment 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, cash value of terminal dividend1 (if any) and total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (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 installments over a payment term of 10 or 20 years, giving you a stable stream of retirement income. 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.
Policy loan for emergency cash
While the policy is in force, you may apply for a policy loan9 to meet your liquidity needs.
Choices of policy currency
The Plan is available in HKD and USD to meet your various savings needs.
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 service10.

Notes:
- Terminal dividend is a one-off dividend and is non-guaranteed. Amount of terminal dividend shown in proposal illustration is just an indicative figure. Declared terminal dividend is not perpetually attached to the policy. The cash value and face value of terminal dividend may be reduced or increased at subsequent declarations. The cash value of terminal dividend will be equal to or less than its face value. The cash value of terminal dividend (if any) is payable upon policy surrender or policy maturity while the face value of terminal dividend (if any) is payable upon the death of the insured. Its actual amount will only be determined when it becomes payable. The actual amount may be lower or higher than the projected figure. Under some circumstances, actual amount of terminal dividend may be zero. The amount of the terminal dividend is affected by various factors including but not limited to the performance of the underlying investments, so the amount is relatively volatile and will move up and down over time. China Life (Overseas) reserves the right to revise the terminal dividend from time to time. Past record is not necessarily indicative of future result. For more information, please refer to clause 5 and clause 6 under “Important information” and “Non-guaranteed benefit” risk of the product brochure of the Plan.
Starting from the 3rd policy anniversary, the terminal dividend shall be paid upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following conditions:
a) when the Company pays the death benefit; or
b) when the policy is surrendered; or
c) when the policy reaches the policy maturity date. - Under the “terminal dividend management option”, the minimum percentage of each application is 10% and the maximum aggregate percentage of all applications is 50%. The option will only be exercised provided that the application fulfills the application requirement and is confirmed by the Company. There is no limitation on the number of times of exercising this option when the policy is in force, but the policyholder can apply to exercise this option only once for each policy year. The Company will process the exercise of this option only once for each written application. There must be no indebtedness in the policy during application to exercise this option. The amount of locked-in terminal dividend is guaranteed after the Company’s approval of the application. Once the application is approved by the Company, the cash value of the terminal dividend which is applied to lock in will be transferred to the terminal dividend management account as soon as practicable and will become locked-in terminal dividend, which will accumulate with interest (if any) at a rate to be determined by the Company at its sole discretion from time to time. You can submit request to the Company to withdraw part or all of the locked-in terminal dividend and accumulated interest (if any) from terminal dividend management account in a lump sum without surrendering the policy. The withdrawal amount is subject to minimum requirement imposed by the Company from time to time.
The actual amount of the locked-in terminal dividend will only be determined after the application has been approved by the Company. The total amount of terminal dividend management account is equivalent to locked-in terminal dividend and accumulated interest (if any) less withdrawal amount (if any) from the terminal dividend management account. Upon the completion of transferring the cash value of terminal dividend to the terminal dividend management account by the Company as per application, the cash value (if any) and face value (if any) of terminal dividend of the relevant policy year will be adjusted proportionally. The cash value (if any) and face value (if any) of terminal dividend of subsequent policy years will be adjusted proportionally. Locked-in terminal dividend will not be allowed to be reset or reversed to terminal dividend. For details, please refer to the policy provision. - The interest rate of the terminal dividend management account are not guaranteed. The actual benefits and/or returns may be lower or higher than estimates. China Life (Overseas) reserves the right to revise this from time to time.

The above accumulation interest rate is not applicable to annuity conversion option.

The “worry-free day” means the policy anniversary immediately following the insured’s 70th birthday or the 20th policy anniversary (whichever is later). If the insured’s birthday and the policy anniversary falls on the same day, the “worry-free day” means the policy anniversary when it is also the insured’s 70th birthday or the 20th policy anniversary (whichever is later).The date of death of the insured The designated percentage of the sum assured of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured Prior to the “worry-free day” 100% Within the 1st policy year after the “worry-free day” 95% Within the 2nd policy year after the “worry-free day” 90% Within the 3rd policy year after the “worry-free day” 85% Within the 4th policy year after the “worry-free day” 80% Within the 5th policy year after the “worry-free day” 75% Within the 6th policy year after the “worry-free day” 70% Within the 7th policy year after the “worry-free day” 65% Within the 8th policy year after the “worry-free day” 60% Within the 9th policy year after the “worry-free day” 55% Within the 10th policy year after the “worry-free day” 50% Within the 11th policy year after the “worry-free day” 45% Within the 12th policy year after the “worry-free day” and thereafter 40% - For the installment option, the remaining balance of death benefit will be deposited in the policy to accumulate interest (if any) 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 interest (if any) will be paid together with the last installment 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 personal representative for the estate of the deceased beneficiary(ies). The policy will be terminated thereafter.
- For the lump sum option, the policy will be terminated after the surrender value is paid in full.
- For the installment 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. For the avoidance of doubt, total annuity amount cannot be restored or reversed to policy value.
After exercising the annuity conversion option, the guaranteed cash value, cash value and face value of terminal dividend (if any), maturity benefit, death benefit, terminal dividend management option, total amount of terminal dividend management account (if any) and 24-hour worldwide emergency assistance service of the policy will become inapplicable immediately. The remaining balance of annuity 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 interest (if any) will be paid together with the last annuity payment and the policy shall then terminate. The policyholder can withdraw the value of annuity conversion account in full once as a lump sum payment during the annuity period and the policy shall then terminate. In the event the policyholder (as the annuitant) is an individual 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 will be terminated thereafter. - The amount you will receive for policy surrender may be less than the total amount of premiums paid regardless of the settlement option selected.

Therefore this product is 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. |

You should consider the potential currency and exchange rate risks before deciding which Policy currency you should take. |

If you terminate the Policy prior to the Policy Maturity Date, you will suffer a financial loss. In case you make partial withdrawals from the Policy, your account value, death benefit and other Policy values will be reduced, and you may need to pay the relevant handling fee or charges (if any). |
| Non-guaranteed Benefit: | This Plan consists of non-guaranteed benefits and/or returns. 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. |
