We are writing to let you know about a change to the investment choices listed in the “Names of
Investment Choices” column (each an “Investment Choice”, and collectively the “Investment Choices”) of
the table in the “Which investment choices are affected?” section below which are available under your
policy.
What is happening?
From the Effective Date, the Investment Choices will be closed for subscription (including switching in) if
you do not have any holding in the same Investment Choice(s) on and after the Effective Date.

If you have holding of Investment Choice(s) on the Effective Date, you can continue to hold and switch
out from the same Investment Choice(s) after the Effective Date, but you cannot switch in to increase
your holding in these Investment Choice(s) after the Effective Date.
You can continue to invest regular and single premiums in these Investment Choice(s) after the Effective
Date through any investment strategy that exists at the Effective Date as long as you have holding in the
same Investment Choice(s) on and after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubts, if you do not
have any Investment Choice(s) in your investment strategy on the Effective Date, you cannot allocate any
premiums to the Investment Choice(s) after the Effective Date even if you have holding in the Investment
Choice(s) on and after the Effective Date.

Starting from the Effective Date you cannot increase the proportion of the Investment Choice(s) within
your existing investment strategy. Moreover, in the event that your holding in the Investment Choice(s) is
reduced to zero after the Effective Date and your existing investment strategy contains that particular
Investment Choice(s), it will be updated to the relevant Default Investment Choice(s) to replace the
Investment Choice(s) as shown under the “Which investment choices are affected?” section below if we
do not receive your instruction to change your investment strategy.

For administrative reasons, a new set of fund codes for the Investment Choices is introduced and will be
used from the Effective Date. Please refer to the “Which investment choices are affected?” section below
for details of the new fund codes. There are no changes to the Investment Choices; this is just a change
of fund codes.
The above restrictions and changes also apply if you have joined the Automatic Investment Strategy
(“AIS”) or Retirement Investment Strategy (“RIS”) as these two strategies will terminate on the Effective
Date. That means that from the Effective Date onwards, no pre-determined switches and changes to
your strategy as you reach your chosen policy maturity or retirement date will be processed. If we do not
receive your instruction to change your investment strategy before the Effective Date, then your
investment allocations (as was pre-determined by AIS/RIS immediately before their termination) will
continue and will be treated as your revised investment strategy, as long as you have holding in the
Investment Choice(s) on and after the Effective Date. However, in the event that your holding in the
Investment Choice(s) is reduced to zero after the Effective Date, your investment strategy will be updated
to the relevant Default Investment Choice(s) to replace the Investment Choice(s) as shown under the
“Which investment choices are affected?” section below if we do not receive your instruction to change
your investment strategy.
We recommend that you contact your financial professional in the first instance, who will be able to
advise you of alternative investment choice(s). Please be reminded that different investment choices
available under the respective Schemes have different investment objectives and policies, risks profiles
and charges. Please read the offering documents of the underlying funds corresponding to the
investment choices for details including the investment objectives and policies, risks factors and fees and
charges of the underlying funds which are available from us upon request.
We will not accept any new instruction to join AIS/RIS with immediate effect.
