Life has no guarantees, but your investment plan does

The Guaranteed Outcome offers both capital growth and income guarantees. You can choose either options in isolation or as a combination. You can also elect to receive a monthly guaranteed income and/or receive guaranteed investment returns at maturity.

The benefit of this investment vehicle is that it provides certainty regarding the maturity value of your investment and, as added incentive, there are noticeable tax-related benefits.

What is a Guaranteed Outcome Plan?

This product is a single premium linked endowment policy providing a guaranteed maturity value after five years.
