    Your guide to investment choices

  • 2

    The Plans are the insurance polices issued by Zurich International Life. Your investment is subject to the credit risks of Zurich International Life.

    You are not investing in the underlying funds/assets of the investment choices. You do not have any rights or ownership over these underlying funds/assets.

    The premiums paid by you towards the Plan will become part of the assets of Zurich International Life. You do not have any rights or ownership over any of these assets. Your recourse is against Zurich International Life only.

    Any early termination/surrender/partial surrender of these Plans or reduction in premium may result in a significant loss of principal and/or bonuses awarded. Poor performance of underlying funds/assets may further magnify your investment losses, while all charges are still deductible.

    Your return on investment is calculated by Zurich International Life with reference to the fluctuation of performance of the underlying funds/assets, and is subject to the charges of the Plan and may be lower than the return of the corresponding SFC-authorised funds. Each investment choice will have its own features and risk profiles. Some may be of high risk.

    Investment involves risk, you should not purchase the Plan unless you understand it and it has been explained how it is suitable for you. The final decision is yours.

    The return of some of the investment choices is calculated with reference to a pool of assets internally managed on a discretionary basis by Zurich International Life and are not authorised by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) pursuant to the Code on Unit Trusts and Mutual Funds (UT Code).

    If you invest in Euro Guaranteed Accumulation Fund, US Dollar Guaranteed Accumulation Fund and Sterling Guaranteed Accumulation Fund (individually called the GAF and collectively called the GAFs) and withdraw any money from the GAF, for example, as a switch out or surrender, at any time other than the permitted withdrawal date(s) (for details, please refer to the relevant policy terms and conditions), Zurich International Life may apply a market level adjustment (MLA), which may significantly reduce your investment account value or the amount you receive. The maximum amount reduced by a MLA can be up to 100% of the withdrawal or surrender amount from the GAF. The rate of MLA will be determind and administered on a case by case basis and may vary depending on when the investment was made, the period of investment and the market conditions during that period. Please call our Customer Care Team on +852 3405 7150 for the prevailing MLA rate.

    Important information:

    This brochure is applicable to the investment-linked assurance schemes namely Vista, Futura II, Elite International Bond*, ELITE Personal/Managed Bond*, Vista Retirement Scheme* and SUPRA Savings and Investment Plan*, issued by Zurich International Life Limited (Zurich International Life), which individually called the Plan and collectively called the Plans in this brochure. This brochure, the relevant product brochure and the relevant product key facts statement together constitute the offering documents of the Plans and should be read in conjunction with each other.

    * These plans are not available for new policy application and are not marketed to the public in Hong Kong. There is no product key facts statement available for these plans. Existing policies are unaffected.

    Part of the fees and charges you pay that will be deducted from the value of your Futura II will be used to cover the insurance charges for the life cover and any additional coverage you may choose. The insurance charges will reduce the amount that may be invested in the investment choices selected. The insurance charges may increase significantly during the term of your Futura II due to factors such as age and investment losses, etc. This may result in significant or even total loss of your premiums paid. If the value of your Futura II becomes insufficient to cover all the ongoing fees and charges, including the insurance charges, your Futura II may be terminated early and you could lose all your premiums paid and benefits. You should consult your financial professional for details, such as how the charges may increase and could impact the value of your Futura II.

    Important information for Futura II only:

    The investment choices available, under Futura II are Euro Blue Chip Fund, Sterling Blue Chip Fund and US Dollar Blue Chip Fund (individually called Blue Chip Fund and collectively called the Blue Chip Funds) and the GAFs. These are pools of assets internally managed on a discretionary basis by Zurich International Life and are not authorised by the SFC pursuant to the UT Code.

    You should also read the offering documents of the underlying funds corresponding to the investment choices you are considering, which are made available by Zurich International Life upon request. You can obtain these documents by calling our Customer Care Team on +852 3405 7150.

    The units of the investment choices allocated to the Plan are notional and are solely for the purpose of determining the value of the respective Plans. You are not investing in the underlying funds/assets and you shall not have any rights or ownership over the underlying funds/assets. The return under the Plan, subject to the charges of the respective Plans, may be lower than the underlying funds/assets.

    Investment involves risk and the value of any investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise. Your investments in some investment choices may result in large and sudden falls in the price of units. The shortfalls on cancellation or loss on realisation could be considerable, you may not get back the amount originally invested or you could get back nothing at all. Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance.

    For full details of the underlying funds corresponding to the investment choices, including their risk factors and fees and charges, please refer to the offering documents of the underlying funds which are available by Zurich International Life upon request.

    Emerging Markets BondZI HSBC Global Emerging Markets Bond Fund

    Code: NUUSD Currency: USD Underlying Fund: HSBC Global Investment Funds Global Emerging Markets Bond Underlying Fund Manager: HSBC Investment Funds (Luxembourg) S.A.

    Investment objective of the underlying fund:The fund invests for total return primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment grade and non-investment grade rated fixed income (e.g. bonds) and other similar securities either issued by companies which have their registered office in emerging markets around the world, primarily denominated in US dollars, or which are issued or guaranteed by governments, government agencies and supranational bodies of emerging markets.

    The fund may invest more than 10% and up to 30% of its net assets in securities issued by and/or guaranteed by a single sovereign issuer with a non-investment grade credit rating. This is due to the fact that the funds reference benchmark, the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index, may contain sovereign issuers that may have a non-investment grade rating. The investment adviser may decide to invest in a specific noninvestment grade sovereign issuer and/or to overweight (in relation to the reference benchmark) a particular non-investment grade sovereign issuer.

    The non-investment grade sovereign issuers that the fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in include, but are not limited to, Venezuela, Turkey and the Philippines. However, this list may change at any time as a result of: changes in credit ratings, changes in the funds benchmark weights, the Investment Advisers decision to allocate a higher or lower proportion of the funds net assets to a particular benchmark constituent and/ or market movements.

    The fund does not intend to use financial derivative instruments extensively for investment purposes. However, the fund may also invest in financial derivative instruments such as futures, forwards (including non-deliverable forwards), swaps, options, credit default swaps, as well as other structured products. The fund intends to use such financial derivative instruments for, inter alia, return enhancement, hedging, tax-efficient access to instruments and whenever the investment adviser believes the investment in financial derivative instruments will assist the fund in achieving its investment objectives.
