FAQs

  • If you choose an optional benefit, please:

    • Advise about any changes in your health, family history, occupation or country of residence before your cover starts.
    • Let us know if you take up any hazardous activities between signing the application and when your cover starts.
    • The policy does not have any capital guarantee. Investments carry varying degrees of risk. Your policy value may fall as well as rise depending on the performance of your investment funds and you may get back less than you originally invested.
    • If the underlying investments chosen are in a currency which is different to that of your policy, you will be exposed to currency exchange risk in addition to investment risk.
    • The level of risk and potential investment performance depend on the fund(s) chosen.
    • Information on the specific risks associated with investing in a particular fund can be obtained from zurich.ae.
    • Stopping premiums – If you stop paying premiums the waiver of premium benefit and its charges will stop, however, all other policy charges continue to be deducted, including any additional life cover charges.
    • Regular withdrawals or partial surrenders – If you make regular withdrawals or a partial surrender, your policy value will be reduced and if the policy value falls to zero the policy will lapse.
    • Full surrenders – If you fully surrender your policy before the fifth policy anniversary, there will be a surrender charge.

  • Direct funds – which cover many asset types, industry and geographical sectors and are managed by a selection of external fund managers.

    Money market funds – these funds invest in cash, money market instruments and international fixed-interest securities.

    Managed funds – these funds offer diversification across equities, cash and fixed-interest securities.

    The above funds are managed by external fund houses/fund managers including Zurich International Life. Some fund managers take a charge before investing your payment and take an annual management charge. These will be reflected in the fund prices. Otherwise the remaining capital will be invested in the funds you choose.

  • Global Choice is a whole of life policy, which means there is no fixed length of time that the policy has to be held for. However, it must be held for a minimum of 5 years.

  • You can pay monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly in USD, GBP or EUR.

  • You have 30 days from the date of issue of your policy documents to write to us to ask us to cancel the policy. You can cancel your policy before receiving any documents by either contacting your Wealth Specialist, Insurance specialist or us directly. If there has been a fall in the value of your investments between the time your policy issued and when we receive your request to cancel, we will deduct this amount from the premium paid.
