what does it provide?

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Bonus Power Vantage is a participating insurance plan. We will distribute the profit generated from this product group by declaring a non-guaranteed Reversionary Bonus and non-guaranteed Terminal Bonus to you at least once per year starting from the end of the 3rd policy year.

Reversionary Bonus: A non-guaranteed bonus, the face value of which forms a permanent addition to your policy once it is declared. The cash value of Reversionary Bonus may be cashed out or left to accumulate in your policy throughout its duration.

Terminal Bonus: A non-cumulative, non-guaranteed bonus, the amount of which is valid until the next declaration. The amount in each declaration may be greater or less than the previous amount based on a number of factors, including but not limited to investment returns and general market volatility.

Upon the death of the insured, according to the death benefit calculation, we will pay to the beneficiary the face values of any Reversionary Bonus accumulated and Terminal Bonus under the policy. Otherwise, upon the surrender or termination of the policy, we will pay any cash values that may have accumulated on any Reversionary Bonus, and the cash value of Terminal Bonus under the policy. These cash values are not guaranteed.

Attractive returns for a brighter future

The Bonus Power Vantage also offers the opportunity for potential long-term capital growth in the form of policy values, which comprise the following:

guaranteed cash value;

non-guaranteed cash value of the Reversionary Bonus; plus

non-guaranteed cash value of the Terminal Bonus.

To give you additional financial flexibility in times of need, you can borrow up to 90% of the total guaranteed cash value of the policy plus the non-guaranteed cash value of any Reversionary Bonus. Interest on a policy loan will be charged at a rate solely determined by us.

Flexible withdrawal throughout your retirement

When you step into your retirement years, with Bonus Power Vantage, you can choose to withdraw policy values in one go, to realize your dreams. Alternatively, you can withdraw policy values regularly to suit your needs. For example, you can opt for annual or monthly withdrawals as part of your retirement income streams to enjoy your fulfilling retirement years.

Upon request, you can withdraw guaranteed cash value, non-guaranteed cash value of the Reversionary Bonus and non-guaranteed cash value of the Terminal Bonus from the Bonus Power Vantage. However, this will reduce the future values of your policy. After withdrawal, the principal amount of the policy and the total premiums paid for the basic plan under the death benefit may be reduced. The principal amount is used to calculate premium and relevant policy values and will not be payable as death benefit.

If the worst should happen

If the insured, who is the person protected under the policy, passes away and no contingent insured has become the new insured, we will pay the death benefit to the person whom you select in your policy as beneficiary. The death benefit will include:

105% of the total premiums paid for the basic plan; or

the guaranteed cash value of the policy plus the face values of any Reversionary Bonus and the face value of any Terminal Bonus in the policy.

whichever is higher.

We will deduct all outstanding debt under the policy before we make the payment to the beneficiary.

If the insured passes away due to a covered accident within the first 12 months of the policy, the Bonus Power Vantage also pays a benefit equal to the total premiums paid for your basic plan, in addition to the above death benefit. The maximum aggregate amount of this benefit payable with respect to the same insured under all Bonus Power Vantage policies is US$100,000 and the benefit payable under each policy will be prorated according to its total premiums paid.

Your choice of settlement option

Apart from a lump sum payment, if you wish your beneficiary to take the amount of death benefit and accidental death benefit in regular instalments, the plan provides a settlement option available to you.

You can select specific amounts of benefits to be paid to your beneficiary at regular intervals chosen by you, provided that the total annual payment is at least equal to 2% of the sum of the death benefit and accidental death benefit. Remaining amount of benefits will be left in our company to accumulate at the non-guaranteed interest rate determined by us, until the full amount of benefits has been paid to the beneficiary.

The death benefit settlement option is not available if the sum of death benefit and accidental death benefit payable is less than US$50,000.

Change of Insured Option for legacy planning

To help you pass the fruits of your planning from generation to generation, the Change of Insured Option allows you to change the insured to another loved one, in whom you and the beneficiary have insurable interest, without affecting your policy values. That way, the value of your policy can be inherited by later generations, helping you pass on your wealth with extra flexibility.

There is a limit of 2 times you may request for the Change of Insured Option (aggregating with the limit of change of insured through contingent insured arrangement) during the lifetime of the current insured after the end of the 1st policy year, subject to our approval. No medical examination is required for the proposed new insured as long as the total annual premiums do not exceed the aggregate limit set for such insured, subject to our prevailing rules and regulations. At the time of application, the age of the proposed new insured must be between 15 days and 60.

Once the insured has been changed, all existing add-on plans will automatically terminate (except the Payor Benefit Rider (if any, where waiver of premium has not commenced), which shall remain in force provided that the age of the proposed new insured is between 15 days and 17 years old at the time of application, while its premium may be adjusted in accordance with any different benefit term).

Contingent insured arrangement to protect your legacy

During the lifetime of the current insured, you can designate another loved one as a contingent insured, in whom you and the beneficiary have insurable interest. Upon the passing of the current insured, the contingent insured may become the new insured, subject to our approval. With this contingent insured arrangement, you can protect your legacy for the next generation even if the current insured passes away unexpectedly, providing greater peace of mind during uncertain times.

There is no limit on the number of times you can designate, modify or remove a contingent insured during the lifetime of the current insured, but you may only have one contingent insured per policy at any time during the benefit term. At the time of designation, the proposed contingent insured must be between 15 days and 60 years of age.

Upon the passing of the current insured, the contingent insured must be age 60 or under to be eligible to become the new insured. No medical examination is required for the contingent insured as long as the total annual premiums do not exceed the aggregate limit set for such insured, subject to our prevailing rules and regulations. The contingent insured needs to become the new insured within a year upon the passing of the current insured, otherwise the death benefit will become payable to the beneficiary.

Upon the contingent insured becoming the new insured, your policy values will not be affected, and you may designate a new contingent insured. All existing add-on plans will automatically terminate (except the Payor Benefit Rider (if any, where waiver of premium has not commenced), which shall remain in force provided that the age of the contingent insured is between 15 days and 17 years old when the current insured passed away, while its premium may be adjusted in accordance with any different benefit term). There is a limit of 2 times you may change the insured through the contingent insured arrangement (aggregating with the limit under the Change of Insured Option), subject to our approval.

Rewards for academic excellence

To motivate the insured to strive for academic excellence, we will reward academic achievements by offering the Educational Merit Benefit. Once the policy has been in force for at least 1 year, if the insured obtains one of the following achievements before the age of 25, Bonus Power Vantage will pay the corresponding award amount while the policy is in force.

The Educational Merit Benefit will only be paid for one of the following categories once per policy and will terminate if you have claimed for the award amount in respect of any one insured. With respect to the same insured under all Bonus Power Vantage policies, the Educational Merit Benefit is only payable once per life.

Extra cover for more protection

To support you against unfortunate circumstances, you may select an add-on plan under which we will waive the future premiums for the Bonus Power Vantage if the insured becomes totally and permanently disabled before the age of 60.

In addition, you may also select the Payor Benefit Rider under which we will waive the future premiums for the basic plan until the insured reaches the age of 25 should you pass away or suffer total and permanent disability before the age of 60.

All add-on plans are subject to additional premiums, underwriting and exclusions. All benefits under add-on plans will be terminated when your Bonus Power Vantage policy terminates.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

- Collapse + Expand

All information here is for reference only. Please refer to the policy contract for the definitions of capitalised terms, and the exact and complete terms and conditions of coverage.
We would like to remind you to review the relevant product materials and proposal illustrations (if applicable) provided to you and seek independent professional advice if necessary.

Bonus Philosophy

This is a participating insurance plan designed to be held long term. Your premiums will be invested in a variety of assets according to our investment strategy, with the cost of policy benefits (such as charges to support guarantees) and expenses deducted as appropriate from premiums or assets. Your policy can share the divisible surplus (if any) from related product groups determined by us. A very significant proportion of divisible surplus arising from actual experience gains and losses from related product groups will be shared with policy owners. We aim to ensure a fair sharing of profits between policy owners and shareholders, and among different groups of policy owners.

Future investment performance is unpredictable. Through our smoothing process, we aim to deliver more stable Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus payments, by spreading out the gains and losses over a longer period of time. Stable Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus payments will ease your financial planning.

We will review and determine the Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus amounts to be payable to policy owners at least once per year. The actual Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus declared may be different from those illustrated in any product information provided (e.g. benefit illustrations). If there are any changes in the actual Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus against the illustration or in the projected future Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus, such changes will be reflected in the policy anniversary statement.

A committee has been set up to provide independent advice on the determination of the Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus amounts to the Board of the Company. The committee is comprised of members from different control functions or departments within the organisation both at AIA Group level as well as Hong Kong local level, such as office of the Chief Executive, legal, compliance, finance and risk management. Each member of the committee will exercise due care, diligence and skill in the performance of his or her duties as a member. The committee will utilise the knowledge, experience, and perspectives of each individual member to assist the Board in the discharge of its duty to make independent decision and to manage the risk of conflict of interests, in order to ensure fair treatment between policy owners and shareholders, and among different groups of policy owners. The actual Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus, which are recommended by the Appointed Actuary, will be decided upon the deliberation of the committee and finally approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including one or more Independent Non-Executive Directors.

To determine the Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus of the policy, we consider both past experiences and the future outlook for all the factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Investment returns: include interest earnings, dividends and any changes in the market value of the product’s backing assets depending on the asset allocation adopted for the product, investment returns could be affected by fluctuations in interest income (both interest earnings and the outlook for interest rates) and various market risks, including credit spread and default risk, fluctuations in equity prices, property prices and foreign exchange currency fluctuation of the backing asset against the policy currency.

Claims: include the cost of providing death benefits and other insured benefits under the product(s).

Surrenders: include policy surrenders, partial surrenders and policy lapses; and the corresponding impact on the investments backing the product(s).

Expenses: include both expenses directly related to the policy (e.g. commission, underwriting, issue and premium collection expenses) and indirect expenses allocated to the product group (e.g. general administrative costs).

Dividend and Bonus Philosophy

Historical Fulfillment Ratio

Investment Philosophy, Policy and Strategy

Our investment philosophy is to deliver stable returns in line with the product’s investment objectives and AIA’s business and financial objectives.

Our investment policy aims to achieve the targeted long-term investment results and minimise volatility in investment returns over time. It also aims to control and diversify risk exposures, maintain adequate liquidity and manage the assets with respect to the liabilities.

Our current long-term target strategy is to allocate assets attributed to this product as follows:

Bonds and other fixed income instruments: 25% - 100%
Equity-like assets: 0% - 75%

Our investment strategy is to actively manage the investment portfolio i.e.: adjust the asset mix in response to the external market conditions. The proportion of equity-like assets would be lower when interest rate level is low and would be even lower than the long-term target strategy so to protect the guaranteed liability and to minimise volatility in investment returns over time, and vice versa when interest rate is high.

The bonds and other fixed income instruments predominantly include government and corporate bonds, and are mainly invested in the geographic region of the United States and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan). Equity-like assets may include listed equity, mutual funds and direct / indirect investment in commercial / residential properties, and are mainly invested in Asia. Returns of equity-like assets are generally more volatile than bonds and other fixed income instruments. Subject to our investment policy, derivatives may be utilised to manage our investment risk exposure and for matching between assets and liabilities.

Our currency strategy is to minimise currency mismatches. For bonds or other fixed income instruments, our current practice is to currency-match their bond purchases with the underlying policy denomination on best-efforts basis (i.e.: US Dollar assets will be used to support US Dollar liabilities). Subject to market availability and opportunity, bonds may be invested in currency other than the underlying policy denomination and currency swap will be used to minimise the currency risks. Currently assets are mainly invested in US Dollar. For equity-like assets, currency exposure depends on the geographic location of the underlying investment where the selection is done according to our investment philosophy, investment policy and mandate.

We will pool the investment returns from other long term insurance products (excluding investment linked assurance schemes and pension schemes) together with this participating insurance plan for determining the actual investment and the return will subsequently be allocated with reference to the target asset mix of the respective participating products. Actual investments (e.g. geographical mix, currency mix) would depend on market opportunities at the time of purchase. Hence it may differ from the target asset mix.

The investment strategy may be subject to change depending on the market conditions and economic outlook. Should there be any material changes in the investment strategy, we will inform policy owners of the changes, with underlying reasons and impact to the policies.

Key Product Risks

You should pay premiums on time and according to the selected premium payment schedule. If you stop paying the premium before completion of the premium payment term, you may surrender the policy, otherwise, the premium will be covered by a loan taken out on the policy automatically. When the loan balance exceeds the sum of guaranteed cash value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) of the basic plan, the policy will terminate and you will lose the cover. The surrender value of the policy will be used to repay the loan balance, and we will refund any remaining value.
The plan may make certain portion of its investment in equity- like assets. Returns of equity-like assets are generally more volatile than bonds and other fixed income instruments, you should note the target asset mix of the product as disclosed in this product brochure, which will affect the bonus on the product. The savings component of the plan is subject to risks and possible loss. Should you surrender the policy early, you may receive an amount considerably less than the total amount of premiums paid.
We will terminate your policy and you / the insured will lose the cover when one of the following happens:
1. the insured passes away, except when the contingent insured becomes the new insured;
2. you do not pay the premium within 31 days of the due date and the policy has no cash value; or
3. the outstanding debt exceeds the guaranteed cash value plus the cash value of the Reversionary Bonus (if any) of the policy.
We underwrite the plan and you are subject to our credit risk. If we are unable to satisfy the financial obligations of the policy, you may lose your premium paid and benefits.
You are subject to exchange rate risks for plans 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. You should consider the exchange rate risks and decide whether to take such risks.
Your current planned benefit may not be sufficient to meet your future needs since the future cost of living may become higher than they are today due to inflation. Where the actual rate of inflation is higher than expected, you may receive less in real terms even if we meet all of our contractual obligations.
As the cash value of Reversionary Bonus is non-guaranteed, there may be a risk of overloan when there is adjustment on the cash value of Reversionary Bonus. Immediate loan repayment is required when there is an overloan, otherwise your policy will be terminated and you or the insured may lose the cover.

Key Exclusions to Accidental Death Benefit

Accidental Death Benefit will not cover any conditions that result from any of the following:

self-destruction while sane or insane, participation in a fight or affray, being under the influence of alcohol or a non-prescribed drug
war, service in armed forces in time of war or restoration of public order, riot, industrial action, terrorist activity, violation or attempted violation of the law or resistance to arrest
racing on wheels or horse, scuba diving
ptomaines or bacterial infection (except pyogenic infection occurring through an accidental cut or wound)
air travel, including entering, exiting, operating, servicing or being transported by any aerial device or conveyance (except as a passenger of a commercial passenger airline on a regular scheduled passenger trip over its established passenger route)

The above list is for reference only. Please refer to the policy contract of this plan for the complete list and details of exclusions.

Suicide

If the insured commits suicide within one year from the date on which the policy takes effect, our liability will be limited to the refund of premiums paid (without interest) less any outstanding debt.

After exercising the Change of Insured Option or upon the contingent insured becoming the new insured, if the new insured commits suicide within one year from the effective date of change as recorded by us, our liability will be limited to the refund of premiums paid (without interest) or the sum of guaranteed cash value, cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) as at the date the new insured passes away, whichever is higher, less any outstanding debt.

Incontestability

Except for fraud or non-payment of premiums, we will not contest the validity of this policy after it has been in force during the lifetime of the insured for a continuous period of two years from the date on which the policy takes effect. This provision does not apply to any add-on plan providing accident, hospitalisation or disability benefits. After exercising the Change of Insured Option or upon the contingent insured becoming the new insured, such two- year period will be counted again starting from the effective date of change as recorded by us.

Cancellation Right

You have the right to cancel and obtain a refund of any premiums and any levy paid by giving written notice to us.
Such notice must be signed by you and submitted to the Customer Service Centre of AIA International Limited at 12/F, AIA Tower, 183 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong or the Customer Service Centre of AIA International Limited at Unit 1903, 19/F, AIA Tower, 251A-301 Avenida Comercial de Macau, Macau within 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.
