Your Lifelong Protection and Commitment

The Chinese proverb says: "Repair the house before it rains". Promising your beloved a comprehensive, safe protection and a wonderful life is vital to them.

Hong Kong Life cares your needs and cordially introduces a comprehensive whole life protection plan, Whole Life Protection Plus (the "Plan") to you and your family to relieve your family's heavy financial burden brought by misfortune.

Comprehensive Protection without Worries

If the Life Insured dies while the Plan is in force, the Total Death Benefit which is equal to the Sum Assured, plus Accumulated Dividends and interest (non-guaranteed)1,2(if any) and Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)2(if any), less Indebtedness (if any) and Total and Permanent Disability Benefit3 already paid (if any) will be paid to the Policy Beneficiary. Also, the Plan provides Total and Permanent Disability Benefit3, Extra Accidental Death Benefit4 and Protect-Me-Again Option5 to give you and your family extra peace of mind.

Total and Permanent Disability Benefit3

If the Life Insured becomes totally and permanently disabled due to injury or sickness and loses his/ her working ability for 6 consecutive months or above, the following benefits will be paid:

    • Monthly Benefit

      An advance monthly cash payment which is equal to 1% of the Sum Assured of the Plan will be paid to a maximum period of 12 months. If the Life Insured is still totally and permanently disabled after the 12 months, a lump sum cash payment which is equal to the Sum Assured of the Plan less any benefit already paid will be payable to alleviate your financial difficulties.

    • Waiver of Premium Benefit

      During the payable period of Total and Permanent Disability Benefit and within the Premium Payment Term of the Basic Plan, the basic premium of the Plan will be waived to give you peace of mind.

During the continuance of Total and Permanent Disability,

  1. no change in the Basic Plan or the mode of payment of premiums may be made; and
  2. subject to the then applicable rules of Hong Kong Life, any Supplementary Benefits attached to the Basic Plan shall terminate automatically.

Besides, if the Life Insured is diagnosed to have Terminal Illness6 or Major Burns7, a lump sum cash payment which is equal to the Sum Assured of the Plan will be advanced provided that no benefit payment is made under Total and Permanent Disability Benefit for your immediate financial support. The Plan shall terminate automatically when the Total and Permanent Disability Benefit has been fully paid.

Extra Accidental Death Benefit4

If the Life Insured dies because of accident before the Life Insured's 60th birthday, an extra cash payment which is equal to the Sum Assured of the Plan will be paid to the Policy Beneficiary to relieve the financial burden.

Protect-Me-Again Option5 for Extra Peace of Mind

Within 30 days after the first Total and Permanent Disability Benefit is paid, the Life Insured can apply for another permanent life plan as accepted by Hong Kong Life without evidence of insurability. The Sum Assured of the new plan is up to the Sum Assured of the Plan with a maximum limit of HKD8,000,000 or USD1,000,000 per Life Insured.

Additional Return

Annual Dividend (non-guaranteed)2 may be distributed annually in terms of cash. You may choose cash withdrawal, leaving it with the Policy for interest accumulation2 or premium reduction to meet your personal needs.

In addition, Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)2 may be payable starting from the 10th Policy Anniversary when the Policy is surrendered by the Policyowner, the Life Insured dies or upon Policy Maturity, whichever is the earliest.

Flexible Premium Payment Term8 for Your Better Budgeting

The Plan provides 2 choices of Premium Payment Term8; you can choose to pay until age 658 or 100 8 of the Life Insured to suit your personal needs.

Fixed Premium for Your Better Planning

The premium will remain unchanged throughout the Premium Payment Term allowing you to have a better plan for your future.

  • Basic Plan

Risk

Exchange Rate Risk

You are subject to exchange rate risks for the Policy denominated in currencies other than the local currency. Exchange rates fluctuate from time to time. You may suffer a loss of your benefit values and the subsequent premium payments (if any) may be higher than your initial premium payment as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

Liquidity Risk / Long Term Commitment

The Plan is designed to be held until the Maturity / Expiry Date. If you terminate the Policy prior to the Maturity / Expiry Date, a loss of the premium paid may be resulted.

The premium of the Plan should be paid in full for the whole payment term. If you discontinue the payment, the Policy may lapse and a loss of the premium paid may be resulted.

Credit Risk of Issuer

The life insurance product is issued and underwritten by Hong Kong Life. The premium to be paid by you would become part of the assets of Hong Kong Life and that you and your Policy are subject to the credit risk of Hong Kong Life. In the worst case, you may lose all the premium paid and benefit amount.

Market Risk

The amount of dividends (if any) of the Plan depends principally on the factors including investment returns, claim payments, policy persistency rates, operation expenses and tax; while the annual interest accumulation rate principally depends on the factors including investment performance and market conditions. Hence the amount of dividends (if any) and annual interest accumulation rate are not guaranteed and may be changed over time. The actual dividends payable and annual interest accumulation rate may be higher or lower than the expected amount and value at the time when the Policy was issued.

Inflation Risk

When reviewing the values shown in the Insurance Proposal, please note that the cost of living in the future is likely to be higher than it is today due to inflation.

Important Policy Provisions

Suicide

If the Life Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within one (1) year from the Issue Date or date of any reinstatement, whichever is later, the liability of Hong Kong Life shall be limited to a refund of paid premiums to the Beneficiary without interest less any existing Indebtedness. In the case of reinstatement, such refund of premium shall be calculated from the date of reinstatement.

Incontestability

The validity of the Policy shall not be contestable except for (i) the non-payment of premiums, (ii) fraud or (iii) misstatement of age and/or sex as specified in the Misstatement of Age and/or Sex provisions, after it has been in force during the lifetime of the Life Insured for two (2) years from the Issue Date or date of any reinstatement, whichever is later. Premiums paid will not be refunded should the Policy be voided by Hong Kong Life.

Automatic Termination

The Plan shall terminate automatically:

  1. upon the death of the Life Insured; or
  2. if and when the Plan matures, is surrendered or converted to Reduced Paid-Up Insurance or Extended Term Insurance; or
  3. if and when a premium remains unpaid at the end of the Grace Period as specified in the General Provisions unless Automatic Premium Loan applies; or
  4. if and when the Indebtedness of the Policy equals to or exceeds the Guaranteed Cash Value as shown on the Policy Schedule.

Others

Insurance Costs

The Plan is an insurance plan with a savings element. Part of the premium pays for the insurance and related costs (if any).

Policy Fee

Part of the premium of the Plan pays for the Policy Fee, the current annual Policy Fee is HKD240 / USD30.

Cooling-off Period

If you are not satisfied with your Policy, you have a right to cancel it within the cooling-off period and obtain a refund of any premium(s) and levy(ies) paid (in the original payment currency) to Hong Kong Life without any interest. A written notice signed by you should be received directly by Hong Kong Life Insurance Limited at 15/F Cosco Tower, 183 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong within the cooling-off period (that is, the period of 21 calendar days immediately following either the day of delivery of the Policy or the Cooling-off Notice to you or your nominated representative (whichever is the earlier)). After the expiration of the cooling-off period, if you cancel the Policy before the end of the term, the projected Total Surrender Value (if applicable) may be less than the Total Premiums Paid.

Dividends

Hong Kong Life determines the amount of divisible surplus that will be distributed in the form of dividends. Dividends will be determined and distributed according to the Policy's terms and conditions 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 at the termination of the policies.

The amount of divisible surplus depends principally on the factors including investment returns, claim payments, policy persistency rates, operation expenses and tax. Hence the amount of dividends is not guaranteed and may be changed over time. The actual dividends payable may be higher or lower than the expected amount at the time when the policies were issued. The withdrawal of dividends will decrease the Total Surrender Value and Total Death Benefit of the Policy.

Policy Loan

After the Plan has acquired a Guaranteed Cash Value and while the Policy is in force, the Policyowner may, upon the sole security and satisfactory assignment of the Policy to Hong Kong Life, apply for a Policy Loan from the Plan. Any loan on the Policy shall bear interest at a rate declared by Hong Kong Life from time to time. Interest on the loan shall accrue and compound daily from the date of loan. The Policy Loan Interest Rate is not guaranteed and will be changed from time to time. The loan and the interest accrued thereon shall constitute Indebtedness against the Policy. Interest shall be due on each Policy Anniversary subsequent to the date of loan. In the event that the Indebtedness of the Policy equals to or exceeds the Guaranteed Cash Value as shown on the Policy Schedule, the Policy will terminate. Any Policy Loan and accrued loan interest may reduce the Total Surrender Value and Total Death Benefit of the Policy.

Non-Protected Deposit

The Plan is not equivalent to, nor should it be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. The Plan is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.

Dispute on Selling Process and Product

Chong Hing Bank Limited, CMB Wing Lung Bank Limited, OCBC Wing Hang Bank Limited and Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited (collectively "Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies" and each individually "Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency") are the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies of Hong Kong Life, and the life insurance product is a product of Hong Kong Life but not the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies. In respect of an eligible dispute (as defined in the Terms of Reference for the Financial Dispute Resolution Centre in relation to the Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme) arising between the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency and the customer out of the selling process or processing of the related transaction, Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency is required to enter into a Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme process with the customer; however any dispute over the contractual terms of the life insurance product should be resolved between Hong Kong Life and the customer directly.
