Enduring through eras, inspiring generational legacies. Through precise planning tailored comprehensively to your unique needs, your wealth is empowered to transcend eras and endure for generations to come.

Prime Prestige Savings Insurance Plan (The "Plan") provides life protection which caters to long term savings targets with an extensive range of plan features to meet your financial needs. We understand that true wealth is not just about abundance today, but also about providing enduring protection for future generations. With a 2-year premium payment, the Plan offers a comprehensive wealth succession plan to cultivate wealth across generations. It allows your love and wealth to transcend the boundaries of time. Life protection can be extended to next generations. The Plan offers Change of Policy Currency Option and Policy Split Option to help you navigate financial risks. In addition, the Plan is further equipped with features including up to 6 Death Benefit Settlement Options and a flexible Contingent Life Insured Arrangement, enabling you to achieve a comprehensive solution for both financial and legacy planning.

Short Premium Payment Term1 with Extended Life Protection

The Premium Payment Term1 of the Plan is 2 years1 only with extended life protection until age 130 of the Life Insured. If the Policyowner chooses for a change of Life Insured2, life protection will be extended to age 130 of the New Life Insured.

Premium Prepayment Arrangement3 to Build Your Wealth with Ease

You can prepay the premium for the second year at the time of application and enjoy the premium prepayment discount on the second year premium3, so that you can build your wealth with ease.

Additional Return

The Plan not only provides Guaranteed Cash Value, Annual Dividend (non-guaranteed)4 may also be distributed annually in terms of cash starting from the end of 3rd Policy Year. You can choose cash withdrawal or leaving it with the Policy for interest accumulation4 to meet your personal needs.

In addition, Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4 may be payable at or after the end of 3rd Policy Year when the Policy is fully surrendered by the Policyowner, upon the death of the Life Insured (provided that there is no named and surviving Contingent Life Insured who will become the new Life Insured) or upon Policy Maturity, whichever is earlier.

When the Policy is partially surrendered5 (including the partial surrender5 automatically triggered for the Incapacity Benefit6), Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4 may be payable at or after the end of 3rd Policy Year. The payable amount is equal to the Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4 attributable to the reduced portion of Principal Amount7. Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4 will not accumulate in the Policy.

Flexible Wealth Management to Seize Market Opportunities
  • Change of Policy Currency Option8

Starting from the 3rd Policy Anniversary while the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive, the Policyowner can apply for a change of policy currency8 to change the current Policy Currency of the Policy to a different currency ("New Policy Currency"), including USD, HKD and RMB (subject to availability as determined by Hong Kong Life at the time of applying the change of policy currency8). This allows you to flexibly allocate your currency mix in line with market trends and to meet your personal needs, enhancing the potential for wealth growth. The Change of Policy Currency Option8 has a maximum limit of 1 time per Policy Year.

  • Policy Split Option9

Starting from the 1st Policy Anniversary while the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive, the Policyowner can apply for a policy split9 to split the Policy to one separate new policy or multiple separate new policies ("Split Policy(ies)"), by transferring a designated portion of the Principal Amount7 of the Basic Plan of the Policy to each of the Split Policy(ies). This option can be used in conjunction with the Change of Policy Currency Option8 to appropriately address changes in your life planning. It can also be used in conjunction with the Change of Life Insured Option2 to meet your wealth succession arrangement. The Policy Split Option9 has a maximum limit of 1 time per Policy Year.

  • Withdrawal Arrangement

The Policyowner may make a one-off or regular withdrawal from the cash value of the Policy (including the Guaranteed Cash Value (if any), Accumulated Dividends and Interest (non-guaranteed)4,10(if any) and Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4(if any)) according to his/her needs in order to fulfill the dreams like children's education and fruitful retirement, etc. However, the future cash value of the Policy will be reduced accordingly.

After the Policy has acquired a Guaranteed Cash Value, the Policyowner can opt for Partial Surrender5 after the 1st Policy Anniversary to withdraw the Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (non-guaranteed)4(if any) attributable to the reduced portion of Principal Amount7 of the Policy.

Comprehensive Wealth Succession Plan to Cultivate Wealth across Generations
  • Change of Life Insured Option2

While the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive, the Policyowner may change the Life Insured2 for unlimited number of times starting from the 1st Policy Anniversary.

  • Contingent Policyowner Arrangement11

To safeguard the wealth management planning, during the lifetime of the Life Insured and while the Plan is in force, the Policyowner can designate up to 3 Contingent Policyowner(s) and designate the sequence of Contingent Policyowner to become the new Policyowner of the Policy in the event of death of the Policyowner. The ownership of the Policy will be transferred to the Contingent Policyowner according to the specified sequence in the event of death of the Policyowner. If the Policyowner requests to designate a split of the Policy under Contingent Life Insured arrangement by allocating a designated portion of the Principal Amount7 of the Policy to multiple separate new policy(ies) ("Designated Policy(ies)") in the event of death of the Life Insured, for each Designated Policy, the Policyowner can designate up to 3 Contingent Policyowner(s) and designate the sequence of Contingent Policyowner(s) to become the new Policyowner of such Designated Policy in the event of death of the Policyowner.

In the event of death of the Policyowner, the Contingent Policyowner of first in sequence will become the new Policyowner. If the Contingent Policyowner of first in sequence cannot become the new Policyowner, the Contingent Policyowner of second in sequence will be arranged to become the new Policyowner, and so on.

  • Interim Policyowner Arrangement12

Through the Interim Policyowner Arrangement12, the Policyowner can designate a Contingent Policyowner, as well as another interim policyowner (Aged 18 or above). In the event of death of the Policyowner, the interim policyowner may manage the Policy using his/her designated policy administration rights until the Contingent Policyowner reaches a designated age or the designated date as determined by the Policyowner to then take over the ownership rights of the Policy.

  • Contingent Life Insured Arrangement13

To lower the impact of any sudden events and to ensure that your wealth can be passed on through generations according to your wishes, the Policyowner can designate up to 3 Contingent Life Insured(s) while the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive and designate the sequence of Contingent Life Insured(s) to become the new Life Insured of the Policy in the event of death of the Life Insured. Policyowner may also request to designate a split of the Policy by allocating a designated portion of the Principal Amount7 of the Policy to multiple separate new policy(ies). For each Designated Policy, the Policyowner can designate up to 3 Contingent Life Insured(s) and designate the sequence of Contingent Life Insured(s) to become the new Life Insured of such Designated Policy in the event of death of the Life Insured. The designated portion of the Principal Amount7 to be allocated from the Policy to each of Designated Policy must be specified by the Policyowner and is subject to the minimum amount or any other relevant requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time.

In the event of death of the Life Insured on or after the 1st Policy Anniversary, the Contingent Life Insured of first in sequence will become the new Life Insured. If the Contingent Life Insured of first in sequence cannot become the new Life Insured, the Contingent Life Insured of second in sequence will be arranged to become the new Life Insured, and so on. This ensures the Policy continues and avoids termination in the sudden event of the death of the Life Insured.

Extensive Life Protection for Peace of Mind

    The Plan provides flexible Death Benefit Settlement Options15. Instead of receiving the Death Benefit in a lump sum payment, Policyowner can designate one of the following settlement options while the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive to settle the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary.

Other Benefit
  • Incapacity Benefit6

In the face of life uncertainties, apart from planning for your loved ones, you also need to keep yourself in mind in order to ensure that everything is taken care of. The Plan provides Incapacity Benefit6, which the Policyowner can designate one person ("Incapacity Benefit Recipient") to receive the Incapacity Benefit6 and the percentage ("Incapacity Benefit Percentage") for the amount of Incapacity Benefit6 while the Plan is in force and the Life Insured is alive. In the event that the Policyowner is diagnosed of a Covered Illness while the Policy is in force, the Incapacity Benefit6 will be paid to the Incapacity Benefit Recipient during the lifetime of the Policyowner. This provides immediate financial supporting to your family to cope with medical and rehabilitation expenses. Incapacity Benefit6 can only be paid once for each Policy.

Upon the death of Giselle after the 1st Policy Anniversary, according to her designation when she was alive, 20% of the Principal Amount of the Policy will be split to Designated Policy 1.

If the premium is pre-paid in HKD for RMB Policy, the pre-paid amount will be converted to RMB based on the exchange rate as at the date of prepayment and deposited into the Premium Deposit Account for paying the second year premium. The amount in the Premium Deposit Account will be debited automatically to pay the premium on the premium due date of the 2nd Policy Year. No interest will be credited and no partial or full withdrawal is allowed for the amount in the Premium Deposit Account.
    4. Annual Dividend, the annual interest accumulation rate and Terminal Dividend are not guaranteed and may be changed from time to time. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The actual amount payable may be higher or lower than those illustrated in the Insurance Proposal. Hong Kong Life reserves the right to change them from time to time. The Annual Dividend and/or interest withdrawn will no longer be accumulated as part of the Total Surrender Value and the Total Death Benefit of the Policy. The Total Surrender Value and the Total Death Benefit of the Policy will be reduced accordingly.
    5. If Partial Surrender is exercised in the Policy, the Principal Amount shall be reduced proportionally based on the percentage of Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (if any) being withdrawn for the Partial Surrender. Upon the reduction of Principal Amount, the Guaranteed Cash Value, Annual Dividend (if any), Terminal Dividend (if any), premium (if any) and Total Premiums Paid of the Plan shall be reduced proportionately. Death Benefit, Maturity Benefit and Incapacity Benefit (if any) shall also be adjusted accordingly. Partial Surrender is subject to the terms and conditions, and the then administrative rules as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time. For detailed terms and conditions, please refer to the policy document issued by Hong Kong Life.
    6. Incapacity Benefit is subject to the applicable laws and regulations, administrative rules and requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time, and the right of any named assignee. The Incapacity Benefit Percentage is subject to the minimum amount or any other relevant requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time. The proposed Incapacity Benefit Recipient must be aged 18 or above at the time of submission and evidence of insurable interest must be submitted. Hong Kong Life reserves the right not to accept any application for the designation of Incapacity Benefit Recipient and to suspend and/or terminate the offering of Incapacity Benefit from time to time. If the Policyowner is diagnosed of a Covered Illness including Apallic Syndrome, Coma, Loss of Independent Existence, Major Head Trauma, Mental Incapacity, Paralysis or Terminal Illness while the Policy is in force, subject to the provisions, conditions and limitations, the administrative rules and requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time, and the rights of any named assignee, Hong Kong Life will pay to the Incapacity Benefit Recipient an Incapacity Benefit as follows:
      1. If the Incapacity Benefit Percentage is 100%, the Policy will be fully surrendered. The full surrender value which is equal to (i) the Guaranteed Cash Value, plus (ii) Accumulated Dividends and Interest (if any) and (iii) Terminal Dividend (if any), less (iv) Indebtedness (if any) will be payable to the Incapacity Benefit Recipient. Once fully surrendered, the Policy shall terminate.
      2. If the Incapacity Benefit Percentage is less than 100%, the amount of Incapacity Benefit equals to (i) the sum of Guaranteed Cash Value, Accumulated Dividends and Interest (if any) and Terminal Dividend (if any) multiplied by the Incapacity Benefit Percentage, less (ii) Indebtedness (if any). Any Accumulated Dividends and Interest will be withdrawn first for the payment of Incapacity Benefit. If Accumulated Dividends and Interest is not sufficient to cover the amount of Incapacity Benefit, Partial Surrender will be triggered automatically. Part of Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (if any) will be withdrawn. The Principal Amount shall be reduced proportionally based on the percentage of Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (if any) being withdrawn for the automatic Partial Surrender. Upon the reduction of Principal Amount, the Guaranteed Cash Value, Annual Dividend (if any), Terminal Dividend (if any), premium (if any) and Total Premiums Paid of the Plan shall be reduced proportionately. Death Benefit and Maturity Benefit shall also be adjusted accordingly. Since the Principal Amount of the Plan cannot be less than the required minimum amount as determined by Hong Kong Life after automatic Partial Surrender, the actual amount of Incapacity Benefit payment may be less than the amount payable as mentioned above. Payment made shall constitute a full discharge of Hong Kong Life's obligations in respect of such Incapacity Benefit, and Hong Kong Life shall not be liable to the Policyowner and any other persons (including, if applicable, the estate of the Policyowner and his/her personal representatives, Contingent Policyowner and Beneficiary) in respect of any payment of Incapacity Benefit.
      The Incapacity Benefit is payable in the event that the Policyowner is diagnosed of a Covered Illness, including physical or mental incapacity, and therefore extra care should be taken in giving instruction in respect of such Incapacity Benefit. The Policyowner should ensure that he/she has the mental capacity when giving such instructions, otherwise such instructions may be subject to challenge or become void. To better protect the Policyowner's rights, the application of the designation of the Incapacity Benefit Recipient should be signed by the Policyowner in the witness of an independent third party. An endorsement with the revised Policy Schedule will be issued to the Policyowner upon the approval of the Incapacity Benefit by Hong Kong Life. In case of a dispute, Hong Kong Life reserves the right to withhold the payment of Incapacity Benefit until such dispute is resolved. For definition of Covered Illness, detailed terms and conditions of Incapacity Benefit, please refer to the policy document issued by Hong Kong Life.
    7. Principal Amount is used to calculate Initial Premium, any subsequent premium, benefits and policy values (if any) of the respective Basic Plan and any Supplementary Benefit (if applicable). Any subsequent change of the Principal Amount will result in corresponding change in premium, benefits and policy values (if any) of the respective Basic Plan and any Supplementary Benefit (if applicable). The Principal Amount does not represent the amount of death benefit of the respective Basic Plan and any Supplementary Benefit (if applicable).
    8. Change of Policy Currency Option is subject to the applicable laws and regulations, administrative rules and requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time, and the right of any named assignee.

  • 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.

Currency Risk

RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks in Hong Kong is subject to the rules, guidelines, regulations and conditions from the banks and/or Relevant Authorities from time to time. The actual conversion arrangement will depend on the restrictions prevailing at the relevant time. As RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls by the Chinese government, RMB currency conversion is subject to availability and Hong Kong Life may not have sufficient RMB at the relevant time.

Risk from Exercising Change of Policy Currency Option

In case the policy currency is changed under the Change of Policy Currency Option, the adjustments on policy value may be significant (either higher or lower) and the amount of policy value after exercising the Change of Policy Currency Option may be considerably less than the total amount of premiums paid. Any future premiums will be adjusted if the Change of Policy Currency Option is exercised within the Premium Payment Term. The approval of application of Change of Policy Currency Option and the availability of currency at the time of exercising the Change of Policy Currency Option will be subject to the prevailing laws and regulations. Hong Kong Life reserves the right not to accept any application of change of policy currency and has the absolute discretion to determine the administrative rules and requirements in respect of change of policy currency from time to time. Hong Kong Life reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate the offering of Change of Policy Currency Option from time to time.

Please note that the Basic Plan under the New Policy after change of policy currency may or may not be the same as the Basic Plan under the Policy, subject to the eligible Basic Plan offered by Hong Kong Life at its discretion from time to time. Plan features, benefits and policy terms of the Basic Plan under the New Policy may be different from the Basic Plan of the Policy. You shall not purchase this product solely for the Change of Policy Currency Option. Please carefully evaluate the difference between the Basic Plan under the Policy and the latest basic plan available for exchange when you exercise the Change of Policy Currency Option and consider whether the latest basic plan suits your needs.

Liquidity Risk / Long Term Commitment

The Plan is designed to be held until the Maturity / Expiry Date. If you partially surrender or 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, expenses (such as commission, underwriting, issuance, maintenance costs, and general overheads) 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.

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.

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 Initial 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.

Upon the change of the Life Insured(s), if the New Life Insured commit suicide, while sane or insane, within one (1) year from the date of endorsement or date of any reinstatement, whichever is the later, the liability of Hong Kong Life shall be limited to (i)(a) a refund of the Total Premiums Paid for the Plan (without interest) or (i)(b) the Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (if any), whichever is greater, plus (ii) Accumulated Dividends and Interest (if any), less (iv) Indebtedness (if any).

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 Initial Life Insured for two (2) years from the Issue Date or the date of any reinstatement, whichever is later. Premiums paid will not be refunded should the Policy be voided by Hong Kong Life.

Upon the change of the Life Insured, Hong Kong Life shall not contest the validity of the Policy after the change has been in force during the lifetime of the New Life Insured for two (2) years from the date of endorsement or date of any reinstatement, whichever is the latest, 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. 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 (provided that there is no named and surviving Contingent Life Insured who will become the new Life Insured pursuant to the "Designation of Contingent Life Insured" clause of the Plan); or
  2. if and when the Principal Amount of the Plan is allocated to Designated Policy(ies) pursuant to the "Designation of Contingent Life Insured" clause of the Plan; or
  3. if and when the Plan matures or is fully surrendered (including the full surrender triggered for the payment of Incapacity Benefit as specified in the Incapacity Benefit clause); or
  4. if and when a premium remains unpaid at the end of the Grace Period as specified in the General Provisions of the Policy; or
  5. if and when the Indebtedness of the Policy equals to or exceeds the Guaranteed Cash Value; or
  6. upon the Change of Policy Currency as specified in Change of Policy Currency Option clause.

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).

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, expenses (such as commission, underwriting, issuance, maintenance costs, and general overheads) 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.

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.

Partial Surrender

In case of Partial Surrender, the Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend of the Policy will be decreased accordingly. This will also decrease the Principal Amount, Total Surrender Value, Total Death Benefit, Annual Dividend, premium, Total Premiums Paid and other benefits (if applicable) 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, the Policy will terminate. Any Policy Loan and accrued loan interest may reduce the Total Surrender Value and Total Death Benefit of the Policy.
