Access to your money
You may exit this investment prior to maturity. The value will be calculated based on the market value of the asset, which could be less than the original capital amount. The minimum return is only provided if the policy is held to maturity.
Tax
All returns earned will be taxed as income at the end of the investment term, using the prevailing rates.
Fees
All fees are priced into the investment. No additional fees will be deducted separately and your full investment amount will therefore be invested.
Fees vary per product and your underlying investment. Please speak to your financial planner to make sure you pay the correct fees and that you understand which fees you pay and why.
