Your surrender value will be based on the next determined bid price of the fund. Buying a life insurance policy is a long-term commitment. An early termination of the policy will usually involve high costs and the surrender value payable may be less than total premiums paid.

The past performance of the fund manager is not necessarily indicative of its future performance.

Investor should read the latest fund fact sheet, fund manager's report, fund summary and product summary on investment-linked plans for details before deciding to invest.
