*The actual amount of annual dividend(if any) and special bonus(if any) may change anytime, with the values being higher or lower than those projected figure. Under some circumstances, the non-guaranteed benefits may be zero.
Convenience of one-time payment for a lifetime of potential returns
To help you plan your financial future at ease, you only need to pay premium at one go to address your needs of saving and life insurance protection. Your Plan starts off with a relatively high guaranteed cash value, and provides the potential to achieve higher returns in long run.
You decide how you withdraw
Once your wealth has grown to a level you’re satisfied with, you choose when and how you withdraw (Note 1) in a lump sum or regular instalments* based on your goals or needs.
Legacy for many lifetimes
If your goal is to leave a sizeable legacy for your kids and grandkids, just keep accumulating your wealth. You can change the insured after the end of the 1st policy year for unlimited times, to leave an ongoing legacy.
Split your policy as you wish
With the policy-split option, you can split your policy into two or more policies starting from the 5th policy anniversary as a legacy planning solution.
Secure your wealth
From the 15th policy year, you can convert part of the special bonus into annual dividends by exercising the special bonus lock-in option under your Plan which enables you to secure your wealth.
* The future benefits will be reduced if withdrawals are made. If you exercise withdrawal in early policy years, the amount withdrawn together with the policy values remained in the policy may be considerably less than the total amount of premiums you paid. For details, please refer to Note 1.
Notes:
1) Cash withdrawal
Any amount withdrawn will be taken from the accumulated annual dividends and interest (if any). If there is not enough value in the accumulated annual dividends and interest (if any), the remaining withdrawal amount will be taken from the guaranteed cash value and special bonus (if any) as a partial surrender. Any partial surrender will reduce the notional amount. The single premium paid, subsequent guaranteed cash value, annual dividends (if any) and special bonus (if any) will be reduced on a proportional basis from the effective date of partial surrender, according to the reduction in notional amount. Surrender benefit and death benefit will be reduced accordingly. If cash withdrawal and special bonus lock-in option are exercised on the same day, the special bonus will first be converted as part of accumulated annual dividends.
You can apply for the regular withdrawal service by written application from the 1st policy anniversary and while the policy is still in effect. When the application is approved, the selected withdrawal amount will be directly credited to the designated account of policy owner. The minimum monthly withdrawal amount is HK$1,000 / US$125 / RMB800, and the maximum annual withdrawal amount is 5% of the policy value, which may be determined in FWD’s sole discretion from time to time. If you exercise the regular withdrawal service in early policy years, the amount withdrawn together with the policy values remained in the policy may be considerably less than the total amount of premiums you paid. FWD will terminate the regular withdrawal service if the notional amount after the withdrawal would be below the minimum amount prescribed by FWD. For detailed termination conditions of regular withdrawal service, please refer to the policy provisions.

Joyful Legend Insurance Plan
(The life insurance plan is underwritten by China Life Insurance (Overseas) Company Limited.)
Plan Features
Multiple potential returns to accelerate wealth building
The Plan is a participating insurance plan that offers you potential capital growth. Its policy value consists of the following components:
Guaranteed cash value grows over the policy years helping you accumulate wealth.
Terminal dividend1 is a one-off non-guaranteed dividend, which is payable from the 5th policy anniversary upon certain events.
Total amount of terminal dividend management account2 is equivalent to locked-in terminal dividend and accumulated interest3 (if any) less withdrawal amount (if any).
Terminal dividend management option to help you lock in gains
To facilitate your financial need, starting from the 15th policy anniversary and every policy anniversary thereafter, you can apply to exercise the “terminal dividend management option”2 to lock in a designated percentage of the terminal dividend of the policy. This option can only be exercised once for each policy year. The minimum percentage for each application is 10% and the maximum aggregate percentage of all applications is 50%. The terminal dividend which is applied to lock in will be transferred to the terminal dividend management account and will become locked-in terminal dividend. The locked-in terminal dividend will then be guaranteed and will accumulate with interest3 (if any) at a non-guaranteed rate. You may also withdraw from the terminal dividend management account for extra liquidity.
Unlimited change of insured to pass on wealth across generations
China Life (Overseas) understands you wish to provide your loved ones with a secure financial future. This is why the Plan features the “change of insured” option4, allowing you to change the insured starting from the 1st policy anniversary, you can change the insured for unlimited times while the insured is alive, giving your wealth more time to grow. Together with the change of policyholder, you can pass the policy down through generations.
Contingent insured to sustain insurance coverage
You can appoint and prioritize a maximum of 2 contingent insureds5 at a time while the insured is alive and the policy is in force. In case the insured unfortunately passes away, China Life (Overseas) will arrange the contingent insured who is first in line to be the new insured according to relevant administrative procedures and orders. The policy will continue to be effective and the policy value will keep growing. Together with the change of policyholder, you can pass on a legacy to future generations.
Death benefit
In case the insured unfortunately passes away while the policy is in force, and the contingent insured5 (if any) does not become the insured under the policy, China Life (Overseas) will pay the beneficiary a death benefit which is equal to the higher of:
(i)101% of accumulated premium due and paid of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured;
(ii)Or sum of guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 (if any) of the basic plan at the date of death of the insured
plus the total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any),
less all indebtedness (if any).
The policy will be terminated after China Life (Overseas) has paid the death benefit fully.
Flexible access to your wealth for matching your needs
To realize your financial goals, you can partially withdraw the guaranteed cash value and non-guaranteed terminal dividend1 through reducing the basic amount7. The policy value and death benefit will be reduced accordingly while the total amount of terminal dividend management account2 (if any) will remain unchanged.
Alternatively, you can apply for policy loan from China Life (Overseas) to borrow part of the guaranteed cash value when needed, while keeping the policy in force. Interest on policy loan which is not guaranteed will be charged at a rate determined by China Life (Overseas) from time to time.
Simplified underwriting
To enable you to achieve your goals with ease, application of the Plan is easy. Simplified underwriting procedures are available and no medical examination is required.
Notes :
1.Terminal dividend is a one-off dividend and is non-guaranteed. Amount of terminal dividend shown in proposal illustration is just an indicative figure. Declared terminal dividend is not perpetually attached to the policy. It may be reduced or increased at subsequent declarations. Its actual amount will only be determined when it becomes payable. The actual amount may be lower or higher than the projected figure. Under some circumstances, actual amount of terminal dividend may be zero. The amount of the terminal dividend is affected by various factors including but not limited to the performance of the underlying investments, so the amount is relatively volatile and will move up and down over time. China Life (Overseas) reserves the right to revise the terminal dividend from time to time. Past record is not necessarily indicative of future result. For more information, please refer to ”Dividend philosophy” and “Investment strategy” under “Important information” and “Non-guaranteed benefit” risk.
