You will receive an SMS notification informing you of the status of your application. The turn-around-time for processing of policy application is two (2) working days, if documents are complete and there are no additional requirements needed based on initial assessment.
The Cooling-off Period* is 15 days starting from the day you or your representative receive the policy contract. During this period, you may still surrender the policy by submitting a signed letter of request together with your policy contract directly at our Head Office, and all charges will be returned.
The amount from the investment fund/s that will be returned will be based on the actual value of the chosen funds on the valuation date for each fund immediately following your request to surrender the policy. Thus, the released amount is not necessarily the same as the initial premium paid.
* Available for variable products
Your policy contract will be delivered to your mailing address within 10 business days from the date of issuance of your policy. You will receive an SMS notification once your policy has been issued, and a separate notification for the delivery of your policy contract.

Yes, unless otherwise stated in your policy, you may switch funds or change your fund allocation as your needs and investment goals change.
COI is the charge for providing insurance coverage including coverage for Riders, as determined in accordance with the policy contract’s COI Provision. COI is based on the Insured’s attained age and other insurance factors.
COI is charged monthly on the same day of the month as your policy’s Effective Date. It is charged by cancelling Fund Units equivalent to the COI from your policy’s outstanding Fund Units. Fund Units ar cancelled based on your policy’s weighted average of units.
For Single Premium policies:
· A one-time premium charged upfront is currently fixed at P4,000 for ambition X; US$80 for Dollar ambition X; top-up charges are waived. For 3GX, premium charge follows a tiered rate of up to a maximum of 5% of the single premium. Top-up premium transactions are not applicable for 3GX.
· Asset Management Charge (AMC) varies based on the type of your chosen investment fund. The unit price published by AXA Philippines is net of the AMC.
· COI, based on your age and other insurance factors, is deducted monthly from your investment fund/s.
· Surrender Charge varies based on the type of product purchased and is deducted monthly from the proceeds of the policy. This applies when your policy is pre-terminated or surrendered earlier than expected.
For Regular Premium policies:
· Premium Charge is 35% of your annual premium, charged for the first three (3) years if the product you purchased is aXelerator or academiX; and charged for the first five (5) years if the policy you purchased is Life BasiX. A 2% Premium Charge will also be deducted from all top-ups made.
· Asset Management Charge (AMC) varies based on the type of your chosen investment fund. The unit price published by AXA Philippines is net of the AMC.
· COI, based on your age and other insurance factors, is deducted monthly from your investment fund.
· Surrender Charges are applicable only for the first five (5) policy years of both aXelerator and life basiX. Charges are deducted from the proceeds of the policy upon pre-termination or surrender earlier than expected.
Your policy will remain in-force as long as you pay your premium on or before the due date, or as long as your account value is sufficient to cover the amount of premium and relevant charges when you elect for a premium holiday.
If your policy can no longer be reinstated, you may apply for a new policy. This website has a list of different AXA products you may choose from.
The Death Benefit is detailed in your policy and varies depending on:

The Basic Sum Insured, as shown in the policy specifications page of your policy, is the amount used to determine the insured’s risk class (standard or special) at the time your policy was applied.
Your Sum Insured is equivalent to the Death Benefit the beneficiaries will receive at time of the Insured’s death.

The performance of AXA’s investment funds, with the exception of the Global Advantage Fund and Armor Fund*, is assessed every working day. This is referred to as the “valuation date”. You may visit this website for the updated fund values or refer to the rates published every Thursday in leading newspapers. “Forward pricing” or using the date of the next valuation unit price as reference, is followed for all funds.
AXA follows a forward pricing in determining fund values. Thus, it is important for you to know and remember the transaction cut-off times in order to refer to the correct unit price that will be used in assessing your policy fund values.
· For New Business transactions
Daily cut-off time is Close of Business (COB) at 5:00PM.
· For After Sales transactions
Transactions must be completed on or before 11:00AM to meet the next working day’s (T+1) valuation.
· For Global Advantage Fund and Armor Fund
Cut-off is at 11:00AM every Wednesdays
Except for New Business, transactions that do not meet the 11:00AM cut-off will be priced on the following valuation date.
For non-Global Advantage Fund transactions, we commit to a T+1 fund price availability. For example, the Net Asset Value Per Unit (NAVPU) of a partial withdrawal transaction from the Wealth Equity Fund done on a Monday will be valued the next day, Tuesday.
A premium holiday allows you to take a break from paying your premiums as long as your Account Value (AV) can sufficiently cover the necessary policy charges. To safekeep your investment, we recommend completion of premium payments for at least five (5) years before opting for a premium holiday.
AXA generates a payment notice 28 days before your due date and a final payment reminder seven (7) days after your due date which shall be sent to your designated mailing address. If you have provided a mobile number in your application, you will also receive a text message (SMS) as payment reminder.

IIE stands for Index-linked Increase Endorsement. This is your policy's automatic inflation protection feature which applies every policy anniversary. However, should you decline for 2 consecutive times, the IIE will no longer be offered the following year.

The cost of increase is minimal and varies per year depending on the inflation rate.
By paying your new premium with IIE gives your policy an automatic increase in coverage.
