Noble Pride Life Insurance Plan
Noble Pride Life Insurance Plan (the “Plan”) requires only a single premium payment to help you grow and preserve your wealth. It allows you to pass on your assets to future generations according to your personal wishes, leaving a lasting blessing for your loved ones. To guard against the unknown, the Plan specifically features incapacity benefit option, ensuring your protection remains securely within your control through proactive planning. Tomorrow’s confidence and joy come from today’s smart planning.
Wealth accumulation for a bright future
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 applicable minimum percentage for each application is 10% and the maximum aggregate percentage of all applications is 50%. The locked-in terminal dividend which is applied to lock in will be transferred to the terminal dividend management account. 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
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 death benefit percentage of the sum assured of the basic plan4 at the date of death of the insured; or
(ii) 100% of premium paid (will be pro rated if sum assured has been amended) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured; 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.
Flexible death benefit settlement options
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 beneficiary the death benefit in the form of a lump sum, instalments, or even a mix of both, according to any one of the following options.
| Option 1: | Lump sum payment. |
| Option 25: | Death benefit will be paid at annual or monthly intervals over your selected payment term of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. |
| Option 35: | A designated percentage of death benefit (which must be 5% or above) will be paid in a lump sum as the first instalment. After paying the first instalment, 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 45: | 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 5% or above) will be paid in a lump sum as the last instalment of death benefit. |
| Option 55: | 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 has been paid. |
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”6, 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 (i.e. split policies) to enjoy greater flexibility on wealth allocation.
Interim policyholder for a seamless wealth succession
Life is full of uncertainty. To ensure that your wealth will be passed on to the heir of your choice, the Plan features the “interim policyholder” option7. While the policy is in force and the insured is under age 18, you can appoint a designated interim policyholder. At the time when the policyholder dies while the policy is in force and the insured is still under age 18, the designated interim policyholder can submit application to us within 90 days after the death of the policyholder. We will then arrange him/her to become the interim policyholder and start administering the policy temporarily until the insured reaches age 18. Once the insured reaches age 18, we will arrange the insured to become the policyholder. In this way, you can rest assured that the policy will continue to be effective with the policy value keep growing for a seamless wealth succession. Interim policyholder is subject to terms and conditions and relevant administrative procedure.
Contingent policyholder to sustain insurance coverage
You can designate a contingent policyholder8 while the policy is in force. In the unfortunate event of the death of the policyholder, upon receipt of relevant application, we will arrange the contingent policyholder to be the new policyholder and continue to exercise the rights under the policy.
Flexibility in wealth planning
Incapacity benefit option
Should you become incapacitated and thus unable to file a claim, the Plan will offer you reliable support through the “incapacity benefit option”9. Starting from the 1st policy anniversary, provided that the policyholder is the insured, you can appoint a designated person to access such benefit and choose a designated percentage for calculation of such benefit. You may also change the designated person and designated percentage from time to time.
In the unfortunate event that you are diagnosed with covered illness (i.e. Apallic syndrome or coma) or diagnosed as a mentally incapacitated person, upon receipt of application from the designated person, the Company will pay him/her the incapacity benefit option which is equal to:
Sum of guaranteed cash value, cash value of terminal dividend1 (if any) and total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any)
× designated percentage
─ all indebtedness (if any)
The designated person can get timely financial support to navigate the difficult times, without going through complicated legal proceedings.
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 payment12 in a lump sum10 or by installments11 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, cash value of terminal dividend1 (if any) and total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any), less all 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.
Policy loan for emergency cash
While the policy is in force, you may apply for a policy loan13 to meet your liquidity 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 service14.

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 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, upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following situation, the Company shall pay:
(a) the face value of terminal dividend (if any) when the Company pays the death benefit; or
(b) the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) when the policy is partially surrendered; or
(c) the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) when the Company pays the incapacity benefit option; or
(d) the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) when the policy is terminated for any reason other than the policy split option is exercised or the Company pays the death benefit; or
(e) the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) when the annuity conversion option is exercised; or
(f) the cash value of terminal dividend (if any) when the policy reaches the policy maturity date.
The amount of terminal dividend may be increased or decreased at the Company’s sole discretion when it is declared. - 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 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 locked-in 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 cash value and the face value of the announced terminal dividend (if any) of the relevant policy year and 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 is 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.

| What are the key product risks? | |
|---|---|
| Credit risk: | This product 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 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. |
| 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 consider the potential currency and exchange rate risks before deciding which Policy currency you should take. |
| Inflation risk: | The cost of living in the future may be higher than expected due to the effects of inflation. Therefore, your current planned benefits and/or returns may be insufficient to meet your future needs even if we fulfill all of our contractual terms and obligations. |
| Liquidity and Withdrawal risk: | You are obliged to hold the Policy and pay the Premium for the designated period of time. 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. |
| Policy Termination: | The Policy will be terminated if (a) the Policy is lapsed or surrendered; or (b) the Company has paid the Policy Maturity Benefit; (c) the Company has paid the death benefit, (d) 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 (e) the Indebtedness of the Policy is equal to or exceeds the guaranteed Cash Value of the Policy. |
