Key Product Risks

Credit Risk

This Plan is an insurance Policy issued by FWD. The Application of this insurance product and all bene�ts payable under your Policy are subject to the

credit risk of FWD. You will bear the default risk in the event that FWD is unable to satisfy its �nancial obligations under this insurance contract.

Exchange Rate and Currency Risk

The Application of this insurance product with the Policy currency denominated in a foreign currency is subject to that foreign currency’s exchange

rate and currency risk. The foreign currency may be subject to the relevant regulatory bodies’ control (for example, exchange restrictions). If your

home currency is di�erent from the Policy currency, please note that any exchange rate �uctuation between your home currency and the policy

currency of this insurance product will have a direct impact on the amount of premium required and the value of bene�t(s) to be received. For

instance, if the Policy currency of the insurance product depreciates substantially against your home currency, there is a negative impact on the

bene�ts you receive from this Plan. If the Policy currency of the insurance product appreciates substantially against your home currency, your burden

of the premium payment is increased.

In�ation Risk

The cost of living in the future may be higher than now due to the e�ects of in�ation. Therefore, the bene�ts under this Plan may not be su�cient for

the increasing protection needs in the future even if FWD ful�ls all of its contractual obligations.

Premium Adjustment

The premium is non-guaranteed and will be determined annually based on the attained age of the Insured Person at the time of Renewal.

Premium Term and Non-Payment of Premium

The premium payment term of the Policy of this Plan is up to the Age of 100 years (attained age) of the Insured Person.

FWD allows a grace period of 30 days after the premium due date for payment of each premium. If a premium is still unpaid at the expiration of the

grace period, the Policy will be terminated from the date the �rst unpaid premium was due. Please note that once the Plan is terminated on this basis,

you will lose all of your bene�ts.

Termination Conditions

The Policy shall be automatically terminated on the earliest of the followings:

(a) where the Policy is terminated due to non-payment of premiums after the grace period as speci�ed in Section 13 of Part 2 or Section 3 of Part 3

of the Terms and Bene�ts of the Policy provisions;

(b) the day immediately following the death of the Insured Person; or

(c) FWD has ceased to have the requisite authorisation under the Insurance Ordinance to write or continue to write the Policy.

For more details, please refer to the Terms and Conditions of the Policy provisions.
