WHAT IS A GUAR ANTEED RETURN PLAN?

Our Guaranteed Return Plans are five-year investment plans that give you peace of mind from knowing exactly what your investment will be worth at the end of the five-year period. You can choose from two Guaranteed Return Plans: the Guaranteed Growth Plan and the Guaranteed Income Plan, for a minimum investment contribution of R60 000. These are low-risk investments that are well-suited for volatile times.

AT A GLANCE

GUARANTEED GROWTH PLAN

The Discovery Guaranteed Growth Plan is an endowment plan that provides a guaranteed return on your lump-sum contribution at the end of a five-year term.

At the end of this fixed term, your lump-sum contribution, grown at the guaranteed growth rate, will be paid to you. This is called the guaranteed maturity value. The guaranteed return and the guaranteed maturity value you will qualify for are shown on your policy schedule and are after allowing for all taxes, fees and commissions.

You must remain invested for the full five-year term to receive the guaranteed maturity value.

GUARANTEED INCOME PLAN

The Discovery Guaranteed Income Plan provides you with a guaranteed return and a guaranteed regular income on your investment for five years.

When you invest in this plan, you need to decide how much you want to invest to give you a guaranteed return at the end of five years, and how much you want to set aside to provide you with a guaranteed regular income for five years.

YOUR INVESTMENT WILL BE SPLIT INTO TWO PARTS:

Part 1: Growth portion

We will give you a guaranteed amount at the end of five years. This is known as the guaranteed maturity value.

Part 2: Income portion

We will give you a guaranteed regular income for the five years through a voluntary annuity. When you start your investment, you may also choose to have a level income over the five years or for your income to grow at 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% each year.

LINKED PAGES The Guaranteed Return Plans are structured as five-year products and it is recommended that you remain invested

for the full term. The guaranteed payout at the end of five years from the endowment plan, shown on your policy

schedule, only applies if you are still invested in your Guaranteed Return Plan at the end of the term. ACCESS TO YOUR INVESTMENT WITHIN THE FIVE-YEAR TERM

If you need to withdraw your money before the end of the five-year term, the amount you will receive is not guaranteed. You will receive the adjusted market value of the underlying assets that we used to provide the guaranteed return at the end of five years. This adjusted market value changes from week to week. It will depend on how long you have been invested in the Guaranteed Return Plan, the market conditions at the time of your withdrawal as well as the costs and commission incurred when setting up your policy.

The balance of the money (i.e. surrender value minus restricted maximum payment) will remain in the investment until the end of the five-year investment term. The guarantee will fall away once the investment is surrendered.
