General What is an Endowment? A product wrapper which is a long term saving vehicle Will provide the investor with an accumulated capital amount upon maturity Ideal for investors with a high marginal tax rate Maturity benefit is not guaranteed (as is with a life insurance policy), but determined by the performance of the underlying assets

General Endowment Insurer agrees to pay a benefit after a terms in exchange for a premium (single/recurring) Unit linked endowment (PSG’s endowment) without guaranteeing the benefit No life assured (second holder), but beneficiary nomination Minimum investment period is five years Sinking fund Contract, other than a life investment, where the Insurer agrees to pay savings as a “tax free” lump sum at the end of a period (usually 5 years), no life assured, beneficiaries do not have the option of taking the policy value in cash upon death of the investor.

Pricing All life investment products are taxed according to the “four fund approach” That means a life company classifies its clients into four different tax categories 01 – Individuals 30% 02 – Companies 28% 03 – Trusts (taxed according to beneficiary status 01 or 02) 04 – Non taxable entities The tax and fund fees are then taken out of the price and paid on behalf of the member Admin and risk management fees are generated by selling units from the client’s investment A client in the Endowment will not receive an IT3(b) or IT3(c) as the returns are not taxed in the hands of the investor, but in the hands of the fund.

Pricing Net Asset Value used (NAV) Not the four fund approach as with the life funds Since we are a LISP, we will make use of NAV pricing for most of our investments Where a fund does not have unit trust pricing, life pricing (four fund approach) will be used according to the tax classification (available to RA, ELLA, Pres Funds and Endowments)

Investments Single Premium Endowment Top ups subject to the 120% rule Unlimited contributions in the first year Minimum R initial lump sum (R for PSG Konsult and Online) Can be phased in – daily/weekly/monthly phase ins Recurring Premium Endowment Minimum R500 monthly – subject to the 120% rule Monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly Inflation rate CPI / 5% / 10% / 15% / 20% per annum Collection date: previously only on the 1 st of the month, now any day Once all requirements received and submitted, t+1 for investment to settle

120% rule During the first year, no restriction on top ups Thereafter a top up may not exceed the higher of the total contributions of the two previous years respectively by 120% That means you add ALL the contributions to the policy up per year for the last 2 years, then determine the higher, times 120%

120% rule example Year 1 = R Year 2 = R Year 3 = ? What can the investor add in year 3? R X 120% = R R X 120% = R In year 3 the investor may add R Let’s say the investor only adds R in year 3. What can the investor add in year 4? R X 120% = R R X 120% = R The client may add R in year 4.
