Long-term Average Actual Total Internal Rate of Return

The following tables show the Long-term Average Actual Total Internal Rate of Return of the With-Profits Plans (life protection and saving products) issued by Prudential Hong Kong Limited (“PHKL”) which had been effective for more than 20 years. The Long-term Average Actual Total Internal Rate of Return is intended for reference purposes only and should not be taken as a projection of future performance or an indicator of actual returns of the participating products.

How to interpret the Long-term Average Actual Total Internal Rate of Return?

The Long-term Average Actual Total Internal Rate of Return represents the track records of PHKL participating policies with longer history which are calculated as the average of relevant sample policies’ actual total internal rate of return at the 20th policy year. It is another reference reflecting the past performance of such policies, and can also demonstrate the impact of time value on the total return.

Notes
  1. Average actual total IRR (p.a.) @ policy year 20 is the simple average of relevant sample policies’ actual total IRR on their policy year 20. The relevant sample policies have been effective for more than 20 years since 1981.
  2. The total IRR is the annual rate of growth that the insurance plan is going to generate. We calculate the total IRR by taking into account the annual premium inflows in various instalments, plus the Guaranteed Cash Value and the Non-Guaranteed Reversionary Bonus/Special Bonus when the policy surrenders/matures. The total IRR varies across different premium terms and payment modes.
  3. Reversionary Bonus/Special Bonus is not guaranteed. Please refer to our With-Profits Plan Booklet on https://pruhk.co/withprofits-en for the factors affecting the bonuses.
  4. The above calculation assumes there is no encashment of any cash value of bonuses, no cash value withdrawal, no reduction in sum assured, and no policy loan while the policy is in effect. All cash payment and cash dividend (if applicable) are assumed to have been cashed out by policyholders.
  5. The above plans are closed for new business.

These details are for reference only. Past performance is neither an indicator nor a guarantee of current or future performance and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product.
