Introduction
Term Life Insurance
Term Life Insurance, also known as Term Life Assurance, covers you against your risk of death over a specific length of time.
When you apply for a Term Life Insurance plan in Hong Kong you will be given the option of selecting the length, or term, of the policy. If you die during the plan’s term, or while the policy is in force then the Hong Kong Term Life Coverage will provide a lump sum payment to a beneficiaries of your choice.
It should be noted that an HK Term Life insurance plan will only provide a death benefit if the insured individual dies during the term of the policy. For example, in the event that the insured party dies a single day after the expiration of the policy then no payment would be made to their beneficiary under the plan due to the lapse in coverage.
It should be noted that in a majority of cases a term insurance plan will normally end without resulting in a claim. As such, this is typically the least expensive type of life insurance plan available in Hong Kong.

Explanation
Uses of Term Life Insurance in Hong Kong

Term Life Insurance in Hong Kong offers a pure death benefit; this means that the policy is wholly designed to provide a settlement only in the event of the insured party’s death.

This can include Funeral Costs, Mortgage Repayments, Child Education Funds, and Credit Card Debt, amongst other financial responsibilities which the insured individual may have held.

Length of Terms and Life Insurance Coverage
As previously mentioned a Hong Kong Term Life Insurance policy will provide a death benefit over a specific length of time.

While the choice of the exact duration of the policy is normally left up to you, it should be noted that choosing a Term Life Insurance plan which provides a longer period of coverage will normally be more expensive than selecting a policy with shorter coverage durations.

Consequently, there is a higher risk of a settlement with plans offering longer terms which mean that the premiums of these policies will generally be much higher than their shorter counterparts.
