Highlights
Six Key Highlights of the Policy
From rapid capital recovery to intergenerational wealth transfer, it comprehensively addresses long-term wealth planning needs.
Payback speed and payment flexibility
Applications are accepted for ages 0 to 75, with a variety of premium payment terms available—including single, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year options (featuring a limited-time 2-year payment plan). Cash value catches up to the total premiums paid as early as the 6th policy year, placing the break-even speed in the top tier of the market.
Explosive long-term return potential
Offers significant potential for wealth appreciation. Illustrative returns (non-guaranteed): approximately 4-fold over 25 years and 8-fold over 35 years; projected long-term IRR of around 6.5%, ensuring steady growth through long-term compounding.
"Zhi Yi Qu" – Emergency Withdrawal
No need to worry about unexpected situations. Once the policy has been in force for three years, you can authorize immediate family members to make emergency withdrawals—up to 50% of the cash value per transaction—without the hassle of complex notarization procedures.
"Curated Selection" – Targeted Legacy Transmission
It offers trust-like functionality. Upon death, assets can be allocated to specific beneficiaries; options include continued capital accumulation or installment payouts, facilitating effective intergenerational wealth transfer while insulating assets from marital disputes and debt-related risks.
"Worry-Free Choice" – Lifetime Cash Flow
Once the premiums are fully paid, you can activate a stream of lifelong, periodic cash payouts (non-guaranteed), providing a flexible and stable financial plan for your retirement and daily expenses.
Multi-currency allocation and cross-border withdrawals
Supports conversion between seven international currencies, including USD, HKD, RMB, and GBP. Offers features such as partial policy surrender, dividend locking, and critical illness benefit advances, as well as direct cross-border transfers to overseas accounts.
