The balance of the aggregate premium after deducting the annual premium on the relevant premium due dates will be accumulated with interests at such interest rate which is not guaranteed and may change from time to time at our discretion. If the aggregate premium together with interests accumulated exceed the total premiums required under your policy, any balance amount will be refunded to you as soon as all premiums due under your policy have been settled. If the aggregate premium together with interests accumulated are not sufficient to cover the total premiums required under your policy, you will then be requested to settle the premium shortfall upon receiving our written notification for the premiums due. Any failure to pay for the premium shortfall may result in lapsation of your policy.  Please refer to section “Key risks - Risk from surrender” in the product brochure for the details of key risk factors for aggregate premium.
