Other Flexible Options:
- The plan also provides various flexible options, such as the first-in-market "Bonus Unlock Option" and "Policy Split Option⁷", etc.

Remarks:

AIA commissioned international research and data analysis firm YouGov to interview 1,028 respondents in Hong Kong in September 2022.
Macau pataca (MOP) is only available for policies issued in Macau.
The Currency Exchange Option allows customers to change their policy currency to another currency selected by them (including Renminbi (RMB), British pound sterling (GBP), US dollar (US$), Australian dollar (AUD), Canadian dollar (CAD), HK dollar (HK$) Macau pataca (MOP; only for policies issued in Macau), Euro (EUR) and Singapore dollar (SGD)) by exchanging their current plan (i.e. Global Power Multi-Currency Plan 2) to the latest plan under the Global Power Series in their designated policy currency, while maintaining the policy duration and without requiring a medical examination. From the end of the 3rd policy year onwards, customers can choose to exercise the Currency Exchange Option within 30 days after the end of each policy year. This option can only be exercised once per policy year. There could be a material difference between Global Power Multi-Currency Plan 2 and the latest plan available under the Global Power Series at the time when customers exercise the Currency Exchange Option. Material difference includes but not limited to: product features (i.e. benefits, policy terms and conditions, investment strategy, target asset mix and relevant investment return and limitation); and the availability of Currency Exchange Option, and in a worst-case scenario, it may only be a one-time option under the current plan depending on the future new plan's features. Customers shall not purchase this product solely for the Currency Exchange Option. Customers should carefully evaluate the difference between the current plan and the latest plan under the Global Power Series available for exchange when exercising the Currency Exchange Option and consider whether the latest plan suits their needs. Please refer to the product brochure for details and relevant risks.
As of 18 January 2023, another insurance company also offers nine currencies.
The option for three-year premium payment term is on limited offers.
Case Study: A customer chooses RMB as the policy currency with a five-year premium payment term. The annual premium is RMB 60,000 and the total premiums paid is RMB 300,000. At the end of the 100^th policy year, the projected total surrender value can reach up to RMB263,767,201 with the Total IRR expected to exceed 7%. The Total IRR is neither indicative of future performance nor guaranteed. In the worst-case scenario, the actual Total IRR can be equal to the Guaranteed IRR, which is 0.39% at the end of the 100^th policy year. The projected total surrender value illustrated is the sum of the policy's guaranteed cash value plus the non-guaranteed cash values of Reversionary Bonus (if any) and Terminal Bonus (if any) and is based on the current projected surrender value and bonus scales. The current projected surrender value and bonus scales are neither indicative of future performance nor are they guaranteed. Past performance or current performance of our business should not be interpreted as a guide for future performance. The actual face values and cash values of the Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus payable throughout the duration of the policy are non-guaranteed and may vary from year to year at AIA's sole discretion, which may be greater or less than the previously declared amounts based on a number of factors and may be less or more favourable than those illustrated. The above example assumes that no cash withdrawal or no policy loans are taken throughout the term of the policy, and Bonus Lock-in Option, Bonus Unlock Option, Currency Exchange Option and Policy Split Option are not exercised. The projected breakeven year is not guaranteed. The Total IRR at the end of 100^th policy year is rounded to the nearest percentage and is not guaranteed. The actual Total IRR at the end of 100^th policy year may be higher or lower than that illustrated. The Total IRR at the end of 100^th policy year assumes that (i) all premiums are paid in full when due and as planned; (ii) the total premiums paid exclude the levy collected by the Insurance Authority; (iii) no death benefit or surrender value has been paid before or becomes payable; (iv) no withdrawal has been made before and no indebtedness under the policy; and (v) the principal amount of the policy remains unchanged throughout the policy term. The calculation of the Total IRR at the end of 100^th policy year takes into account: (i) the total premiums paid during the premium payment term for the basic plan; and (ii) the projected total surrender value at the end of the 100^th policy year. The actual Total IRR may be based on several factors (including but not limited to investment returns, expenses, claims, surrenders, timing and frequency of exercising the Currency Exchange Option and Bonus Unlock Option) and may be less favourable or longer (as the case maybe) than those illustrated. There can be variance for IRR under different premium payment terms, policy currency options and different plans under the Global Power Series since they are totally independent. For IRR of Global Power Multi-Currency Plan 2 policies with different plan options, please refer to relevant benefit illustrations. The Total IRR of Global Power Multi-Currency Plan 2 for specific policy currency is not indicative of future performance of future plans under the Global Power Series.
