• Borrow up to 80% of the cash value of your plan before the end of your plan
• Be paid a potential bonus when your investment achieves a higher return

Plus:

• Should you die or be made permanently disabled you have an option to waive the premium
• Distribute your plan to your loved ones if you pass away
• Your contributions are invested by ALICO Gulf to protect your returns against any investment losses

Here's an example provided by ALICO Gulf - based on a 30 year old male

The table above is provided by ALICO Gulf and is for illustrative purposes only.

You can apply for a HSBC Education Plan if:

• You're over 25 years old
• Your child is aged between 0 and 12 months
• Your child's college entry age is between 17 and 20

Can I stop the plan anytime? If so, what do I get?

If you stop contributions during the accumulation phase and your policy has acquired an encashment value*, your scheduled payout will be scaled down and the plan will continue without requiring any further contributions.

You may also decide to surrender the policy. In this case, if the plan has acquired a surrender value, you would receive it as a lump sum payment which in the few first years could be less than what you have contributed.

How much should I contribute to the plan?

Your Relationship Manager will tell you the premium that you should contribute to the plan, based on the savings goal you're trying to achieve.

Or you can let us know how much you are comfortable contributing on a regular basis. Based on this, ALICO will be able to tell you what your returns will be when the plan matures.

What if I die before my child reaches college age?

The plan will remain active, and contributions will still be required until the policy matures. For these reasons, we recommend taking out the optional Family Protection Agreement, which waives all remaining premiums until policy maturity in the event of death or disability.

However, if the policy has acquired a sufficient encashment value* and nobody is able to contribute for your child, ALICO would scale down the schedule payout and let the plan continue without requiring any further contributions. In case your heirs decide to surrender the policy after it acquired a surrender value they would receive it as a lump sum payment which can be less than what you've contributed. If the unforeseen happens to your child, the beneficiaries of the plan would receive a pro rata lump sum of the agreed amount.

*The encashment value is the basic cash value of the policy plus accrued excess interest bonuses to date.

What if I die while my child is in college?

ALICO will continue paying the agreed annuities as stated in the policy.
