- You can be certain that you’ll receive a guaranteed income from the life annuity component for as long as you live

- When you pass away, the remaining capital in the living annuity component is left to your beneficiaries.
How it works
A FlexiGuarantee Life Annuity can be accessed during retirement, by converting an existing Living Annuity to a FlexiGuarantee Life Annuity, or at the point of retirement, with the proceeds of your retirement savings. It is considered to be a conventional life annuity, and therefore it cannot, in totality or in part, be transferred to another product or provider.
You receive a single monthly income. The flexible income (from the Living Annuity component) and guaranteed income (from the Life Annuity component) payments are combined, and the deducted tax is based on the total income amount.
You will receive an income reminder every year to adapt your cash flow to meet your changing needs by changing your income level. The letter also shows your guaranteed income payment from the Life Annuity component, so you can make an informed decision.
Factors that impact your income
Whether you choose a guaranteed term or choose to increase your income every year will affect the income you receive from the Life Annuity component. We recommend that you discuss your considerations with your Sanlam financial adviser or accredited broker to ensure a suitable option.
Fees
