HONG KONG, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life Hong Kong Limited ("the Company" or "Sun Life Hong Kong") today announced the launch of a new participating insurance plan, Vital, which offers whole-life protection and potential long-term wealth growth through the Guaranteed Cash Value and non-guaranteed Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus[1]. Vital is an eligible life insurance plan under the Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme ("PRMP")[2]. Under PRMP, clients who are aged 60 or above can apply for policy reverse mortgage loans.

Clement Lam, Chief Executive Officer, Sun Life Hong Kong Limited, believes that Vital helps clients create financial freedom for their loved ones.

With a minimum Notional Amount of USD20,000 (or HKD160,000) and with premium payment terms of 15 years, 20 years and 25 years, Vital is eligible for clients aged 60[3] or under. From now until September 30 2021, eligible clients of Vital may enjoy a premium rebate of up to 8% on the Annualized First Year Premium upon successful application[4].

Clement Lam, Chief Executive Officer, Sun Life Hong Kong Limited, said, "Planning ahead is of paramount importance to achieve a fruitful lifestyle in retirement. As a trusted partner for Hong Kongers on their retirement journey, Sun Life Hong Kong is committed to providing diversified life protection and wealth management products that support our clients in managing their retirement savings. The newly launched Vital is designed to cater to clients' retirement planning needs, providing the basis for an enduring financial foundation that their loved ones can count on. As an eligible life insurance plan under PRMP, Vital provides clients with an option to support their life in retirement with a stable income. Alongside Life Brilliance, another eligible life insurance plan under PRMP, we seek to offer clients a variety of choices in line with their needs."

One of the unique features of Vital is its Dealth Benefit, which offers extra financial aid to the family. If the insured unfortunately passes away before the policy anniversary on or immediately following the insured's 69th birthday or the 34th policy anniversary (whichever is earlier), an additional amount[5] of up to 70% of the sum assured will be paid as part of the Dealth Benefit,  providing additional support to tide over the loved ones of the insured during this difficult period.

In addition, under the Unemployment Benefit[6] of Vital, clients who remain unemployed[7] for at least 30 consecutive days between the age of 18 and 65 can apply to extend their grace period[8] by up to 365 days. Cover will remain in effect throughout this period, enabling clients to focus on their next career move.

Note to Editors 

  1. The Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus are non-guaranteed and are determined in accordance with the rules set out by the Company from time to time. The Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus may vary based on the performance of a number of experience factors, with the investment return normally being the main determinant. Other factors include, but are not limited to, claim experience, policy expenses, taxes, and policy owner termination experience. The cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus might not be equal to their own face value. For details of bonuses, please refer to Bonus Philosophy under section Important Information and the Company's website (www.sunlife.com.hk).
  2. Please note that Vital is an eligible life insurance plan under PRMP, but it does not necessarily mean that your PRMP application will be approved. The eligibility of this product under the PRMP is based on the features of the product. Therefore, clients and their life insurance policy are still required to meet all the eligibility requirements under PRMP before they apply for the policy reverse mortgage loan. Any general information provided on PRMP is for their reference only, and they should not make any decisions based on such information alone. Clients should always seek for advice from professional bodies if they have any doubts. Please note that the information provided is subject to change including the eligibility criteria for PRMP.
