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 5th 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).
Switch policy currency to keep pace with market trends
Whenever you wish to capture currency opportunities, fund your children’s education aboard or stay overseas after retirement, the Plan is a good fit for you.
Between 60 days and 90 days before the 3rd policy anniversary and before every policy anniversary thereafter, you can choose to exercise the “currency conversion option” 4,12 at any time to change the existing policy currency to other policy currency. We offer 9 different policy currencies for you to choose from -
United States Dollar (USD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD),Chinese Yuan(CNY), Australian Dollar (AUD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), British Pound Sterling (GBP), New Zealand Dollar (NZD) or Singapore Dollar (SGD).
Your policy will be converted to a new policy. The policy effective date of the new policy will remain the same after the policy currency switch and the wealth will continue to accumulate.
The policy values of the existing policy will be transferred to the new policy currency based on the prevailing currency exchange rate on the currency conversion option effective date. The basic amount, guaranteed cash value, non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 (if any) and the future premium payable (if any) of the new policy will be determined and adjusted.
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.
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”5, 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 own moving aboard.
Starting from the 5th policy anniversary or the premium expiry date (whichever is later), you may exercise the “policy split option”5 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 insured6 and exercise currency conversion option4,12, to allocate your legacy and enjoy greater flexibility on wealth allocation.
Unlimited change of insured to 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”6, allowing you to change the insured starting from the 1st policy anniversary for unlimited times while the insured is alive. The benefit term of the policy will be extended to age 138 of the new insured upon each change, giving your wealth more time to grow and pass on through generations.
Contingent insured to sustain insurance coverage
You can appoint and prioritize a maximum of 2 contingent insureds7 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 so as to protect your legacy for future generations.
Life protection provides peace of mind to your loved ones
Death benefit
In case the insured 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:
1) 105% of the accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured; or
2) 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.
Death benefit settlement option
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 instalments8 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.
If the total amount of death benefit at the date of the insured’s death is less than HKD400,000/ USD50,000/ CNY320,000/ AUD80,000/ CAD80,000 / EUR50,000/ GBP50,000/ NZD100,000 / SGD80,000, 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.
Flexible access to your wealth to match your needs
To realize your financial goals, you can partially withdraw the guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 (if any) through reducing the basic amount9. The policy value 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 (applicable to USD and HKD policies only) to borrow part of the guaranteed cash value when needed, while keeping the policy in force. Interest on policy loan is not guaranteed will be charged at a rate determined by us from time to time.

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 5 and clause 6 under “Important information” and “Non-guaranteed benefit” risk.
Starting from the 5th policy anniversary, terminal dividend shall be paid upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following conditions:
(i) when the Company pays the death benefit (only applicable if the sum of guaranteed cash value and terminal dividend of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured is higher than 105% of accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan);
(ii) when the policy is surrendered by the policyholder; or
(iii) when the policy reaches the policy maturity date. - 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. The policyholder can apply to exercise “terminal dividend management 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 premium due and unpaid 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 and will become locked-in terminal dividend. 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 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 provisions. - The interest rate is not guaranteed.

| 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.
