Hong Kong Life offers a comprehensive range of life insurance products which provide both guaranteed and non-guaranteed benefits to the Policyowners depending on the specific features of different products.
The guaranteed benefits generally include the insurance coverage payable on death, maturity, or disablement as well as guaranteed cash value for loan or Policy cancellation. The non-guaranteed benefits are the dividends (including Annual Dividend and Terminal Dividend) and rate of interest (referred to as "interest accumulation rate") on Annual Dividend and other cash payments left on deposit under a Policy. The rate of interest may vary at the discretion of Hong Kong Life. Past dividends record is not indicative of future performance.
The amount available for distribution as dividends to relevant classes of Policyowner is determined by the Appointed Actuary of Hong Kong Life in accordance with Hong Kong Life's internal dividend management. The amount depends on both the emerging experience and the future best estimate assumption including investment returns*, claim payments, policy persistency rates, operation expenses and tax. The Appointed Actuary will also report to the Board of Hong Kong Life on the Policy covering allocation of profits between shareholders and participating fund for approval, taking into account the principle of fair treatment of customers, and the equity between shareholders and Policyowners.
Dividends will be determined and distributed according to the Policy's dividend provision and in compliance with the relevant legislative and regulatory requirements as well as relevant actuarial standards, whereas Terminal Dividend is available for certain types of Policies and payable upon termination of the Policies.
As stated, the amount of dividends will vary according to the emerging experience of the above factors and types of the products. Hong Kong Life applies a smoothing approach in relation to the distribution of the dividends. It will only be modified if the actual experience is significantly different from expected or if the future expectation is changed.
Policyowners may also choose to leave their Annual Dividend or other cash payments with Hong Kong Life to earn interest at a rate determined by Hong Kong Life based on its investment performance and market conditions. As a consequence, the interest accumulation rates are not guaranteed and may be adjusted from time to time.
* Investment returns include investment income and changes in asset value of the underlying investment. Performance of the investment return is affected by interest earnings and other market risk factors including, but not limited to, interest rate or credit spread movements, credit events, price fluctuations in invested assets, and foreign exchange fluctuations.
