- The insurance charge will reduce the amount that may be applied towards investment in the underlying funds corresponding to the investment choices selected.

Risk Disclosure

Risk Disclosure for LifeInvest Protection Plus/RetireInvest Protection Plus Plan/Saving Protection Plus/Super Life, LifeInvest Protection Plan (10 Years Maximiser) and WealthInvest Insurance Plan/WealthInvest Life Plan:

Investment involves risks. Each investment choice is subject to market value fluctuations and to the risks inherent in all investments. The investment choices available under the plan can have very different features and risk profiles. Some may be of high risk. Past performance is no guide to future performance of the investment choices. The price of units in any investment choice or the income from them (if any) may go down as well as up.
The underlying investment may involve multiple currencies, the value of investment may be subject to possible exchange rate fluctuations/risks.
Investment choices which are invested in certain markets and companies (e.g. emerging markets, commodity markets and smaller companies, etc) may also involve a higher degree of risk and are usually more sensitive to price movements.
The underlying funds of the plan may involve derivatives. Do not invest in it unless you fully understand and are willing to assume the risks associated with it. This instrument can be highly volatile and expose you to a high risk of loss. For details of the underlying funds, please refer to the relevant offering document which will be made available by the Company.
The potential return on investments under the plan will be subject to the charges of the plan and may be lower than the return of the Investment Choices or the underlying funds. (Applicable to WealthInvest Insurance Plan and WealthInvest Life Plan only)
Base currency of the underlying funds is the US dollars/HK dollars, except HSBC Life Fidelity Euro Bond and HSBC Life Fidelity European Growth Fund which are denominated in euro. Since the underlying investment may involve multiple currencies, investment returns not denominated in HKD or USD are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Rates of exchange may cause the value of investments to go up or down. (Applicable to LifeInvest Protection Plus/RetireInvest Protection Plus Plan/Saving Protection Plus/Super Life only)
Investment choices that may distribute cash dividend (if any) on a regular basis have "(DistC)" next to their names (hereafter referred to as "Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution)"). If you choose to invest in the Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution), you will receive cash dividend(s) pursuant to clauses D4(b) and D4(c) of WealthInvest Insurance Plan provisions and clauses C4(b) and C4(c) of WealthInvest Life Plan provisions after we have received cash dividend(s) (if any) from the corresponding underlying fund(s). Important information about the Investment Choices (Cash Distribution) is as follows:

a) The distribution of dividends, the frequency of distribution, and the amount or rate of dividends of the Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution) are not guaranteed; b) The underlying fund(s) linked to Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution) may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital, i.e. payment out of the original investment or out of any income generated from such investment. Such payment amounts to a return of part of the original investment or a withdrawal from any capital gains attributable to such investment. At the same time, the underlying fund(s) may also charge all or part of its fees/expenses out of capital the same way described above. These may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit of the corresponding underlying fund(s) after the distribution date, which may have a negative impact on the unit price of the respective Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution). Please also note that a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return;
c) In comparison to investment choices that distribute dividends by crediting into the Plan in the form of additional notional units of such investment choices and reinvest such dividend, Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution) pay out cash dividend (if any) which may reduce the account value and hence the death benefit payable for WealthInvest Insurance Plan and WealthInvest Life Plan. If the account value of WealthInvest Insurance Plan is negative for forty-five consecutive calendar days, or when the Guaranteed Coverage Privilege period (if applicable) is expired, your policy will lapse. The lapse event (i) in the preceding sentence may not take place if certain conditions are satisfied, please refer to clauses A6 and A7 of the WealthInvest Insurance Plan’s provisions for such conditions, as well as for other terms and conditions relating to lapse triggers. You may also refer to sections "Termination of policy" and "Guaranteed Coverage Privilege" of the WealthInvest Insurance Plan’s product brochure for more information / If the account value of WealthInvest Life Plan is insufficient to cover all relevant charges for forty-five consecutive calendar days while your policy is in force, your policy will lapse. For the relevant terms and conditions, please refer to the clause A6 of the WealthInvest Life Plan’s provisions.You may also refer to section "Termination" of WealthInvest Life Plan’s product brochure for more information;
d) The amount of dividend paid by the Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution) and the corresponding underlying funds’ information such as dividend composition information of the underlying funds for the last 12 months are made available by us upon request without any charges. In addition, such information is available on our website, you can visit our website (please go to www.hsbc.com.hk > Insurance > Investment Performance) to read the section "Cash Dividend Distribution Record";
e) We may amend the distribution policy of WealthInvest Insurance Plan and WealthInvest Life Plan (including its investment choices), subject to Securities and Futures Commission’s prior approval and by giving not less than one month’s prior notice to investors; and
f) You should not select the Investment Choice(s) (Cash Distribution) unless you understand the details of its corresponding underlying fund(s) (including, without limitation, the investment objectives and policies, risk factors and charges, which may include but not limited to administrative fee, trustee fee, fund maintenance fee, management fee and custodian fee of the underlying fund(s)).
Please refer to the relevant Principal Brochure and policy for details including fees and charges.

Your potential return on investments is calculated or determined by the Company with reference to the performance of the underlying funds corresponding to the investment choices you selected.

You are subject to the investment risk.
The account value of the ILAS Policy will be calculated by the Company based on the performance of the underlying funds corresponding to the investment choices you selected from time to time and the ongoing fees and charges which will continue to be deducted from the ILAS Policy.

-   The insurance charges may increase significantly during the term of the ILAS Policy 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 the ILAS Policy becomes insufficient to cover all the ongoing fees and charges, including the insurance charges, the ILAS Policy may be terminated early and you could lose all your premiums paid and benefits.
-   You should consult your intermediary for details, such as how the charges may increase and could impact the value of the ILAS Policy.

Currency	Launch Date	Unit Price	1 year	2 years	3 years	4 years	5 years	Since Launch

Notes:

The unitised investment choices invest in their respective designated underlying funds. These investment choices are linked with their underlying funds in terms of the investment objectives, underlying asset risks and performances. Unitised investment choices will be divided into units, the price of which will be determined by the net asset value including investment returns and net of charges on investment choices on that transaction date. The investment return includes interest, dividends and realised or unrealised capital and currency gains and losses. Performance statistics are based on unit prices of the relevant investment choices in their respective currency, calculated on a unit-price-to-unit-price basis.

For the non-unitised investment choice (HSBC Life Deposit Fund), the assets are allocated into financial instruments as specified in its investment objectives and the return net of charge on the investment choice will be declared by HSBC Life (International) Limited ("the Company") to the balance of the investment choice on every transaction date. Performance statistics are based on declared bonus rate.

These investment choices are owned by the Company and thus your investments and the benefits offered under the plan are subject to the credit risk of the Company. You are not investing in the underlying funds/assets and you do not have any rights or ownership over these underlying funds/assets.
All data on unit prices and cumulative performance are supplied by the Company
