Notes: The Policy Owner is subject to the credit risk of BOC Life. If the Policy Owner discontinues and / or surrenders the insurance plan in the early policy years, the amount of the benefit he / she will get back may be considerably less than the amount of the premium he / she has paid. Past, current, projected and / or potential benefits and / or returns (e.g. bonuses, dividends, interests) presented herein are not guaranteed and are for illustrative purposes only. The actual future amounts of benefits and / or returns may be lower than or higher than the currently quoted benefits and / or returns.
Risk Disclosure of USD Insurance:
USD policies are subject to exchange rate risk. The exchange rate between USD and HKD may rise as well as fall. Therefore, if calculated in HKD, premiums, fees and charges (where applicable), account value / surrender value and other benefits payable under USD policy will vary with the exchange rate. The exchange rate between USD and HKD will be the market-based prevailing exchange rate determined by BOC Life from time to time, which may not be the same as the spot rate of banks. The fluctuation in exchange rate may result in losses if a customer chooses to pay premiums in HKD, or requests the insurer to pay the account value / surrender value or other benefits payable in HKD, for USD policy.
Other Key Risks:
- The premium payable of the Plan and / or the Rider (if any) at the time of application and renewal is calculated based on the following factors (if applicable), including but not limited to the Sum Insured, gender, issue age, attained age, smoking habit, premium payment term, level of benefits, underwriting class, risk class and residency, and is not guaranteed. BOC Life reserves the right to review and adjust the premium payable at any time. Factors leading to such adjustment include but not limited to emergence of difference between actual experience and current expectation.
- The Policy Owner should pay premium on time during the premium payment term. It may result in lapse or termination of the policy if the required amount (such as premium) is not made before expiry of the grace period (if applicable) as prescribed by BOC Life. Nevertheless, it is subject to the automatic premium loan (if applicable) (BOC Life will advance the premium due from the non-forfeiture value as an automatic premium loan) and non-forfeiture provisions (if applicable). If the policy is terminated or lapsed due to non-payment of premium, the surrender value received by the Policy Owner may be less than the total premiums paid and the Policy Owner will lose the insurance protection provided by the policy.
- BOC Life may terminate the policy before the maturity date if any one of the following events occurs:
(i) the death of the Insured; or
(ii) BOC Life approves the Policy Owner’s written request for surrender; or
(iii) the policy lapses after the end of the grace period;
or
(iv) the non-forfeiture value is less than zero (if applicable); or
(v) the aggregate amount paid or payable by BOC Life has reached the maximum benefit amount of all coverage of the policy (if applicable).
- The actual rate of inflation may be higher than expected, therefore the amount you receive may be less in real terms.
Remarks:
- The Plan is automatically renewed for another year upon payment of the premium in accordance with the Age of the Insured and the premium rate then in effect on the date of renewal as well as a policy fee designated by BOC Life from time to time.

The new plan will be issued as at the date of conversion. The premium charged on the new plan shall be determined in accordance with BOC Life’s prevailing rates for the Insured’s Age on the date of conversion.
