Wealth accumulation with ease
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 the following components:
● Guaranteed cash value grows over the policy years helping you accumulate wealth.
● Terminal dividend1 is a one-off non-guaranteed dividend, which is payable from the 3rd policy anniversary upon certain events.
● Total amount of terminal dividend management account2 is equivalent to locked-in terminal dividend and accumulated interest3 (if any) less withdrawal amount (if any).
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 terminal dividend of the policy. 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 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 interest3 (if any) at a non-guaranteed rate. You may also withdraw from the terminal dividend management account for extra liquidity.
Pass your legacy to generations to come
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 option4 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.
Death benefit
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:
(i) 101% of accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured; or
(ii)sum of guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 (if any) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured,
plus total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any), less all indebtedness (if any).
The policy will be terminated after we pay the death benefit.
Flexible death benefit settlement option
The Plan offers flexible death benefit settlement options to help you safeguard your family’s financial future. While the insured is alive, you can choose to pay the death benefit to the beneficiary according to any one of the following options.
| Option 1： | Lump sum payment. |
| Option 27： | Death benefit will be paid at annual or monthly intervals over your selected payment term of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. |
| Option 37： | A designated percentage of death benefit (which must be equal to 5% or above of the death benefit) will be paid in a lump sum as the first instalment; while the remaining balance will be paid at annual or monthly intervals over your selected payment term of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. |
| Option 47： | Death benefit will be paid at annual or monthly intervals over your selected payment term of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. After paying the instalments, a designated percentage of death benefit (which must be equal to 5% or above of the death benefit) will be paid in a lump sum as the last instalment of death benefit. |
| Option 57： | Death benefit will be paid at annual or monthly intervals over your selected payment term of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. The instalment amount will increase 5% annually until the total amount of death benefit have been paid. |
Flexible access to your wealth
To realize your financial goals, you can partially withdraw the guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 (if any) through reducing the basic amount8. The policy value and death benefit will be reduced accordingly while the total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (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.
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 service9.
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.

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. It may be reduced or increased at subsequent declarations. 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 4 and clause 5 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 earlier of the following conditions:
(i)when the Company pays the death benefit (only applicable if the sum of guaranteed cash value and terminal dividend (if any) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured is higher than 101% of accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan); or
(ii)when the policy is surrendered by the policyholder. - For application to exercise the “terminal dividend management option”, such application must be received by the Company within 30 days from the relevant policy anniversary (including the date of policy anniversary). 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 in writing 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 unpaid premium or 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 terminal dividend which is applied to lock in will be transferred to the terminal dividend management account as soon as practicable. The locked-in terminal dividend will be deposited with the Company to accumulate interest (if any) and the interest (if any) will be accrued annually 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 terminal dividend to the terminal dividend management account by the Company as per application, the terminal dividend (if any) of the relevant policy year and subsequent policy years will be adjusted proportionally. The terminal dividend (if any) 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 is not guaranteed. The actual benefits and/or returns may be lower or higher than estimates. China Life (Overseas) reserves the right to revise the interest from time to time.
