Owning a house and living a happy life with beloved family is everyone's dream. However, repaying the mortgage may bring heavy burden. To give your family members extra peace of mind, you should prepare well in case any misfortune happens. Mortgage Term Plan (The "Plan") provides best protection to responsible mortgagors like you. Should the Life Insured passes away or becomes totally and permanently disability due to injury or sickness, the Plan provides benefit in terms of cash, saving your family from bearing the overwhelmingly huge liability.
Comprehensive Mortgage Protection without Worries
With the Premium Payment Term1 and Benefit Term from 5 years1 to 30 years1, you can choose the Benefit Term based on your mortgage term, and the Sum Assured is determined based on your outstanding mortgage loan amount. If the Life Insured dies while the Plan is in force, the Total Death Benefit which is equal to the Sum Assured at such Policy Year will be paid to the Policy Beneficiary for the mortgage loan reimbursement to relieve the financial difficulties. The Benefit is determined by Sum Assured, Benefit Term and pre-determined interest rate and it will decrease once annually on every Policy Anniversary. The 3 pre-determined interest rates of the Plan are 8%, 10% and 12%, for your flexible arrangement and a comprehensive protection at a low premium.
Waiver of Instalment Benefit2
The Plan offers Waiver of Instalment Benefit2. If the Life Insured becomes totally and permanently disabled due to injury or sickness and loses his/ her working ability before age 65 for 6 consecutive months or above, monthly benefit will be paid by Hong Kong Life from the 7th month until the Life Insured recovers subject to a maximum of 12 months and the maximum monthly benefit is HKD 50,000 or USD 6,250. If the Life Insured remains disabled after the monthly benefit has been paid for the said 12 months, a lump sum cash payment which is equal to the Sum Assured at such Policy Year will be paid to the Policyowner in which no previous claim payment will be deducted. The Plan shall terminate automatically should the Sum Assured at such Policy Year be fully paid.
Fixed Premium for Your Better Planning
The premium will remain unchanged throughout the Premium Payment Term1, allowing you have a better plan for your future.
Sustainable Life Protection in the event of Early Full Redemption
The life protection offered by the Plan will not be affected in the event of early full redemption of the property. It will be sustainable provided that regular premium is continuously paid.

Risk
Exchange Rate Risk

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.
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.
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.
