B. Disablement of the Assured The Retirement Plan offers Type D disability, which is defined as follows:

‘Disability is recognised if the assured has suffered permanent incapacity resulting from any cause whatsoever, such that he is prevented from engaging in his usual occupation for remuneration or profit’.

Depending on the assured’s financial circumstances, he may elect to make the Plan Paid-up, continue making contributions or have the benefit paid out.� (i) Benefit made Paid-up� If the Fund is large enough for a paid-up value to exist, the fund will continue to build up as

bonuses are added until the proceeds are paid out on the elected retirement date. Rule: On non-payment of the monthly contribution, once the 31 days grace period has expired, the benefit will automatically be made paid-up. (R100 admin fee payable)

� (ii) Contributions continue� The assured continues paying premiums and the retirement value is paid out on the elected

retirement date.� (iii) Benefit paid out � If the assured chooses to have the benefit paid out after the disability occurs, then the same

procedure as for the death benefit will be followed (see A above).

C. Assured Dies – Death Benefit Cash Lump sum:

� Premiums plus reasonable interests (viewed as 7%)� One-third may be commuted� Balance must be used to purchase a compulsory annuity

CHANGE IN CHARGING BASIS: SAVINGS BUSINESS

As a result of the Statement of Intent, and the inherent need to now meet the Early Surrender value requirements, the basis of charging for our Savings business (Investment, Education, Retirement Plans) has equally needed to change.

All savings business will now be charged on a level-loading basis.

Charges:

- 9.0% of monthly premium (Debit-order business)

- 11.5% of monthly premium (Stop-order business),

Plus R9.00 pm

INTRODUCTION OF STANDARD COMPOUND INTEREST TABLE

As part of changes brought about to the Code on Policy Quotations, no Product Provider may present Illustrative/Projected Maturity values, as from 1st January 2009.

A standard, industry-wide, Compound Interest table must be used.

While this approach is intended to ‘manage’ the clients expectations of ‘end-values’, given varying market and performance conditions, this will undoubtedly cause some confusion.

OMGS SMOOTHED BONUS PORTFOLIO

Int.Equities1%

Smoothed Bonus funds are balanced funds that use the smoothing mechanism to ensure a less volatile investment performance for investors. The assets underlying these funds include equities, bonds and property. By holding back some of the returns during times of market growth, the fund manager is able to ‘add’ additional returns during times of poor market performance. This approach removes the market performance extremes – giving the ‘smoothed’ performance

Established as a separately managed portfolio 25 years ago

Funds under management: ~ R4 bn

Fund Objective:

- to provide a balanced fund with returns consistent with a smoothed bonus portfolio

Fund Mandate:

- for the portfolio to be managed, with each asset class measured against specified benchmarks, broadly in-line with the portfolio mix

THE REDUCTION IN YIELD FACTOR

The Reduction in Yield (RIY) factor, expressed as a percentage, represents the underlying expenses and charges that are/will be applied to the gross investment returns generated – thus providing the policyholder with the actual or net surrender/maturity value they will receive (or close thereto).

Practically� Projection rate used: 10%

� Return rate achieved: 15%

� RIY rate: 6%

� Actual rate realised: 9%

Another way to interpret: The rate of return the company needs to achieve, in order to meet the 10% projection rate quoted, is 16% p.a (if RIY is 6%).

14


What does this mean from an advice viewpoint?

THE REDUCTION IN YIELD FACTOR

Comparative RIY rates If two companies achieve the same investment return, but company A has a lower RIY

than company B – then the policyholder would receive a better ‘actual’ return from an

investment with company A.

alternatively,

Comparative Portfolio returns If two companies have the same RIY rate, but company A achieves a higher ‘gross’

investment return than company B – then the policyholder would receive a better

‘actual’ return from company A.

Consider this factor in respect of Best Advice, under the FAIS Act.
