Transcription

1 s Summary of Invest-Select Life Insurance Plan The plan is not available to new investors and no longer offered to the public in Hong Kong. Information shown is purely for existing policyholder only. Important Risk Warning: Invest-Select Life Insurance Plan (the Plan ) is an investment-linked assurance scheme issued by Hang Seng Insurance Company Limited (the Company ), and your investments are therefore subject to the credit risk of the Company. All premiums you pay towards the Plan and any investments made by the Company in the underlying funds will become and remain the assets of the Company. You do not have any rights or ownership over these assets. Your recourse is against the Company only. Your return from investment is determined by the Company with reference to the performance of the underlying funds. The s available under the Plan can have very different features and risk profiles. Some may be of high risk. Due to the fee and charge structure of the Plan, unit prices and returns of the s under the Plan will be different from those of their underlying funds. Returns of the investments under the Plan may be lower than those of the underlying funds. Early surrender or withdrawal of the policy may result in a significant loss of principal. Poor performance of underlying funds may further magnify your investment losses, while all charges are still deductible. Please note the following relating to insurance coverage and the Insurance Charge: Insurance Charge for your life insurance coverage may increase significantly during the policy term due to a combination of factors, e.g. age, smoking habit, investment return/loss of your s, etc. The higher the Insurance Charge, the less your premium is available for investment purpose. The Insurance Charge may increase significantly to a level exceeding your regular premium payment, particularly where your s have been incurring significant losses. This may result in significant or even total loss of your investment and premium paid. If the policy value is not enough to cover the Plan Charges (including Insurance Charge and other charges), your policy will be terminated early and you will not be able to enjoy any targeted death or other benefits from the Plan. Investment involves risks, and past performances is not indicative of future performance. The investment decision is yours but we strongly recommend that you do not invest in the Plan unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the Plan is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. You should not solely rely on the information contained herein for making any investment decisions.
