You can’t live on dreams alone. You need the financial resources and protection to make them a reality. That’s why AIA created Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection), which combines the benefit of potentially greater returns with the thorough protection of life insurance. You will also find comfort in the flexibility of our payment options should misfortune come your way. So, you can reach for your dreams with confidence, knowing that we will be there for you if you should fall.
The Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) is a participating insurance plan. We will distribute the profit generated from this product group by declaring a non-guaranteed Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus to you at least once per year starting from the end of the 3rd policy year.
Upon the death of the person protected under the policy, 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 other than the death of the person protected under the policy, or if the person protected under the policy becomes totally and permanently disabled, suffers loss of limbs or irrecoverable loss of sight, or is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or the loss of independent existence, we will pay any cash value that may have accumulated on any Reversionary Bonus and the cash value of Terminal Bonus under the policy. These cash values are not guaranteed.
If the person protected under the policy, passes away, we will pay the death benefit to the person whom you select in your policy as beneficiary. The death benefit will include:
We will deduct all outstanding debt and any benefits paid under this policy before we make the payment to the beneficiary.
For extra cover, you can choose from a range of optional add-on plans offering accident, medical, critical illness and disability protection. Add-on plans are subject to additional premiums, underwriting and exclusions. All benefits under add-on plans will be terminated when your Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) terminates.
Apart from a lump sum payment, if you wish your beneficiary to take the amount of death benefit in regular instalments, the plan provides a settlement option available to you.
You can select fixed amounts of benefit 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 death benefit. Remaining amount of benefit will be left in our company to accumulate at the non-guaranteed interest rate determined by us, until the full amount of benefit has been paid to the beneficiary.
The death benefit settlement option is not available if the death benefit payable is less than US$50,000.
Nowadays people are being diagnosed with debilitating conditions at a younger age. To give you extra leverage should misfortune strike, the Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) will provide you with a series of advance payments, which will be advanced from the sum assured and the face values of any Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus in your policy. Two different benefits are payable under the following circumstances:
Payments for the Total and Permanent Disability Benefit and Caring Benefit
First 30 months following your diagnosis
For as long as the diagnosed condition persists, we will make monthly advance payments equal to 1% of the sum of the sum assured and the face value of any Reversionary Bonus in your policy as at the date of commencement of the disability or the date of diagnosis, plus the corresponding face value of any Terminal Bonus.
30 months after your diagnosis
Provided that the diagnosed condition persists, we will pay you the remainder of the sum assured and the face values of any Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus in a lump sum. You will receive this at the end of the 30th month after the date of commencement of the disability or the date of diagnosis.
In addition, we will waive the future premiums for the basic plan if you are diagnosed with any of the above conditions, keeping the policy in force and setting your family at ease.
We will not pay the Total and Permanent Disability Benefit and Caring Benefit at the same time. The maximum aggregate amount of each benefit payable to the same person protected under this policy and any other policies, and / or add-on plans is US$1.25 million. We will deduct all outstanding debt under your policy before making the advance payments.
The Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) also offers the opportunity for long term capital growth in the form of:
In addition, to enhance your financial flexibility, the Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) offers you the option of cashing out all or part of the bonuses or withdrawing any cash value by reducing the sum assured of your policy. After withdrawal, the future value of the policy and death benefit will be reduced.
This plan also offers option for a policy loan. 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.
Denominated in US Dollars, the Bonus Power Plan 2 (Enhanced Protection) offers the choice of three premium payment terms, facilitating flexible planning depending on your current outlook. Premium amounts are guaranteed to be fixed throughout the premium payment term.

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 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. 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
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 according to the target asset mix on the asset class below:
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.
We will not cover the person protected under the policy for any of the following, except in the event of the death of the person protected under the policy:
If the person protected under the policy 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.
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 person protected under the policy 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.
