Built-in guarantees
Choose the level of protection that fits a client’s needs:
• Investment Class (75/75)
Whether clients are planning for retirement or saving for a major goal, the Investment Class option could be the right fit. This guarantee option offers strong growth potential by keeping fees low, along with a built-in death benefit guarantee that adds an extra layer of protection for clients’ beneficiaries.
• Estate Class (75/100)
For clients focused on leaving a legacy, the Estate Class option could be the right fit. It offers a 100% death benefit guarantee, helping to ensure the full investment is protected and passed efficiently to beneficiaries. This level of protection comes with a monthly guarantee fee that is deducted from the contract value.
• Protection Class (100/100)
The Protection Class option offers our highest level of guarantees, including a 100% death benefit guarantee and a maturity benefit guarantee of 100% or 75%, depending on the deposit. It’s an ideal choice for investors who have a lump-sum amount – such as a pension transfer or inheritance – who want to protect their investment over the long term.
