Policy provisions
About your policy
The contract with us
If your application is approved, you will receive a summary of your policy. The summary will confirm the benefits and premium of your policy, as well as other particulars. The policy itself will consist of your application form, the policy provisions in this document, and the policy summary.
Your policy is the contract with us, and the complete and only record of that contract. If anything in your application form or these policy provisions differs from your policy summary, the policy summary will apply.
Your application form + these policy provisions + your policy summary = your policy
When your policy starts and ends
Your policy benefits start on the first day of the month following the month in which we received the investment premium (single premium) for your policy. It ends on your death, or it may end later if you select a guarantee term or the spouse income option to apply - more details can be found under optional benefits.
Important: Once you have selected the Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life policy and the policy has started, it cannot be cancelled or changed.
The role-players in your policy
You are the premium-payer, namely the person who pays the investment premium of your policy. You are the life insured, namely the person on whose life your policy is taken out. Your spouse may also be a life-insured if the spouse income option is selected - see more details under optional benefits.
You are the policyholder, namely the person who holds and exercise the rights under your policy.
You may appoint persons, one or more, to receive the capital protection benefit, if it was selected, on your death - see more details under optional benefits. They are called the beneficiaries.
If the spouse income option is selected, then if you die before your spouse, a percentage of the guaranteed monthly income will be paid to your spouse - see more details under optional benefits.
If a guarantee term is selected, then if you die before the end of the guarantee term, the guaranteed monthly income will be paid to beneficiaries - see more details under optional benefits.
Please ensure that you at all times nominate the right beneficiaries. You may change a beneficiary at any time. This may for example be necessary if you get married or divorced. You and your beneficiaries must be South African citizens. If your spouse is a life insured, he or she must be a South African citizen too.
Have you, for your policy, appointed a beneficiary who is under age 18?
If so, what will happen with your policy if you die? The beneficiary will become entitled to the rights and benefits under your policy. But, because the beneficiary is under 18 (a minor), the benefits will have to be paid to his or her legal guardian. The legal guardian of a minor is his or her parents or a person appointed by the High Court.
So, for example the following can happen:
You and a person you no longer are married to are the parents of your minor beneficiary. On your death the benefits of your policy will be · paid to that person. You are the only parent of your minor beneficiary. On your death, a guardian will have to be appointed by court, for the benefits of your · policy to be paid to that guardian. You are the only parent of your minor beneficiary. On your death, if a guardian is not appointed for the beneficiary, the benefits of your policy · will be paid to the Guardian Fund of the Master of the High Court. Money to support the beneficiary will then have to be claimed from the Guardian Fund. When the beneficiary turns 18 all the money can be withdrawn.
Is that what you want? If not, it is advisable that you get assistance from a financial adviser on how best to arrange your affairs in respect of yourpolicy.
You can cancel your policy during the cooling-off period
If your cancellation notice reaches us within 31 days after you received your policy summary (the summary mentioned above under Your contract with us), or within 31 days after it reasonably can be accepted that you should have received your policy summary, your policy ends. You can send your cancellation notice to our client services department. We will pay back the single premium we received, adjusted for changes in the market value of the investments under your policy since they were made, due to market changes. This is known as a cooling-off cancellation.
1 policy provisions URI01
Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life
This policy provides you with a guaranteed monthly income at the end of every month after the policy started while you are alive. Many optional benefits are available to address your needs – and some of these optional benefits ensure that the full guaranteed income or a part thereof also continues after your death – see more details under Optional benefits.
Optional benefits
You can choose any of the optional benefits:
a) Yearly increase percentage - ensures that the guaranteed monthly income increases every year to better keep up with inflation.
b) Guarantee term - ensures that your nominated beneficiaries will continue to receive an income if you die before the end of the guarantee term. A guarantee term of up to 20 years can be selected.
c) Rewirement factor - helps clients to adjust their spending to post-retirement income. Any Rewirement factor up to 10 can be chosen.
· The higher the Rewirement factor chosen, the higher the guaranteed monthly income will start at. · But, the trade-off is that the guaranteed monthly income will remain level for an initial period of time, and a number of yearly
increases in the guaranteed monthly income will be skipped. · The number of increases that will be skipped is equal to the Rewirement factor chosen.
d) Spouse income option - ensures that a percentage of the guaranteed monthly income continues for your surviving spouse after your death. Any percentage up to 100% can be selected. The percentage may be limited based on the other benefits selected.
e) Capital protection - the full or a percentage of the investment premium can be protected so that on your death, beneficiaries receive the full or a percentage of the investment premium. Any percentage up to 100% can be selected. The percentage may be limited based on the other benefits selected.
· When capital protection is selected, a part of the Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life provides you with a guaranteed monthly income for life.
· The other part is used to fund the capital protection benefit. After tax has been deducted from the guaranteed monthly income, the premium for the capital protection benefit is also deducted. · The premium for the capital protection benefit follows the same pattern as the guaranteed monthly income. So, if the guaranteed monthly income increases by a percentage, then the capital protection premium also increases by the same percentage.
When Capital protection is selected, the Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life includes a life policy. The life policy premium increases yearly by the same percentage you selected the guaranteed monthly income to increase by.
What is payable on your death?
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life product ensures that an income or lump sum may be payable on your death. The guaranteed monthly income will end on your death unless one of the following benefits are selected:
a) The guarantee term ensures that your beneficiaries will continue to receive an income should you die before the end of the guarantee term. The guaranteed monthly income continues to be paid until the end of the guarantee term.
b) A spouse income option ensures that a percentage of the guaranteed income continues for a surviving spouse after your death, or later after the guarantee term has ended if it was selected. The payment of this benefits ends on the death of your spouse.
c) Capital protection - the full or a percentage of the investment premium can be protected so that on your death, beneficiaries receive a percentage of the investment premium.
When will the Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life come to an end?
This policy ends when you die, unless the -
· guarantee term was selected and you die within the guarantee term, then the policy ends at the end of the guarantee term; or· spouse income option was selected and you die before your spouse, then the policy ends on the death of your spouse.
Benefits are paid to you, or to your beneficiaries
While you, the policyholder, are alive, the benefits of your policy are paid to you.
After your death, the capital protection benefit is paid to your beneficiaries. Also, if you selected a guarantee term and you die before the end of the guarantee term, the guaranteed monthly income will be paid to your beneficiaries until the end of the guarantee term.
When you opt for the spouse income option, the selected percentage of the monthly income will be paid to your spouse if you die before your spouse, or later after the guarantee term has ended if it was selected.
If, for any reason, we cannot pay the benefits to beneficiaries, the benefits will have to be paid into a deceased estate. That can cause inconvenience and delay – therefore it is important to that you appoint beneficiaries, and always to make sure that the right persons are appointed as the beneficiaries. Remember, beneficiaries can be changed at any time.

Cash value, surrender value, loan value and cessions
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life does not have a cash value, no loans may be made against it and it may not be ceded or used as security for a loan. It does not have a surrender value.
Tax position
Assupol must deduct the statutory pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) rate of tax from the guaranteed monthly income you receive from the Ultimate Retirement Income 4Life. PAYE will be deducted from the guaranteed monthly income. In terms of the Income Tax Act, when the product is taken out voluntarily and not with retirement fund proceeds that must be used to buy a compulsory annuity, a portion of the guaranteed monthly income is deemed as income and attracts tax at your marginal tax rate.
For compulsory annuities, 100% of the guaranteed monthly income is deemed as income and attracts tax at your marginal tax rate.The income will be taxed as earnings by the South African Revenue Service (Sars). Assupol deducts the income tax payable based on the guaranteed monthly income paid to you. The rate at which you must pay tax depends on your total annual income and may differ from the amount deducted by Assupol. Any such differences will be allowed for by Sars in the year-end assessment.
When you have more than one regular income product from Assupol, each product will be handled individually and won't be added together before the statutory PAYE rate of tax will be deducted. When capital protection is selected, the benefit paid under the life cover policy is not taxable.
Legislative position
There are changes that may affect your policy, such as legislative changes or changes to the tax treatment of your policy. Assupol may recalculate the guaranteed monthly income if there are changes that affect your policy.
Your policy operates in terms of an actuarial basis
Life insurance policies operate in terms of actuarial rules, specifications and formulae, which are approved according to law, and are known as the actuarial basis of the policy. This requirement plays an essential role in the protection and fair treatment of policyholders. It ensures that policies are dealt with in a reasonable and objective manner – and that the benefits policies provide, and distinctions made between policies, are justified and financially sound. Therefore, in carrying out your policy its actuarial basis must always be considered.
South African law and currency apply
Payments on your policy are made in South Africa, and in South African currency. Your policy is always interpreted according to South African law, and any disputes must be settled in South Africa.
You must inform us of changes
You must inform us of changes to your personal, contact and banking details. Please also let us know when the personal and contact details of your beneficiary change.
To claim a policy benefit
Visit any of our offices countrywide. Also open on Saturdays from 08:00 to 13:00. You can find an Assupol office nearest to you on www.assupol.co.za or phone 0861 235 664.
