Which two of the following statements about the IFS-MP (Important Facts Statement for Mainland Policyholder) are true? (i) The copy signed by the Mainland customer must be in Simplified Chinese. (ii) For an ILAS product, the IFS-MP replaces the IFS for ILAS. (iii) The intermediary goes through it point by point with the customer at the point of sale. (iv) The signed copy may be sent to the customer some weeks after policy delivery.
Answer: (i) and (iii). Statements (i) and (iii) are true; (ii) and (iv) are not.(i) True. English or Traditional Chinese versions are allowed for reference, but the version the customer signs must use Simplified Chinese.(ii) False. For ILAS products the Mainland customer signs both the IFS-MP and the IFS for ILAS.(iii) True. This point-by-point walk-through is required.(iv) False. The insurer chooses when to deliver the copy, but no later than policy delivery.Why not the others:• (i) and (ii): includes (ii), which is false, and leaves out (iii), which is true.• (ii) and (iv): includes (ii) and (iv), which are false, and leaves out (i) and (iii), which are true.• (iii) and (iv): includes (iv), which is false, and leaves out (i), which is true.Watch out: Assuming the IFS-MP stands in for the ILAS statement, or that its copy can follow after the policy.Rule: IFS-MP: signed in Simplified Chinese on every page, explained point by point, copy given no later than policy delivery; ILAS buyers sign both statements.Source: IA Long Term Insurance (Paper III) Study Notes, 2022 Edition (8th ed., June 2022; for exams from 24 Oct 2022), 5.2.10, p. 5/43-5/44
