Benefits

  • We help your money grow faster by allocating an additional percentage to each payment that you make to your investment:
    • For monthly payments between R2 500 and up to R5 000 we allocate an additional 1%
    • For monthly payments of R5 000 and more we allocate an additional 2%
    • For one-off payment investments, we allocate an additional 5%.
  • You can make your own investment decisions
  • You can make multiple withdrawals after the initial term
  • Low reduction in yield, which makes it very cost-efficient
  • Protection from volatile equity markets in uncertain times
  • Sanlam Life offers a loyalty bonus at certain plan anniversaries, termination or death

How it works

  • You have two payment options to choose from. The first one is recurring payments, where you make payments on a monthly basis, and the second one is single payments, where you make one-off payments.
  • We add an additional percentage to each payment to make your investment grow faster
  • We invest the money in the underlying investments that you choose in collaboration with your financial planner
  • Your money can grow over time based on your underlying investments and compound interest earned on any growth
  • Once your initial term is complete, the term remains open-ended. You can apply for regular withdrawals throughout this term.

Tax

According to current legislation, the returns will not be taxable in your hands.

Fees

Fees vary per product and your underlying investment. Please speak to your financial planner to make sure you pay the correct fees and that you understand which fees you pay and why.

Why get financial advice

It is important to bear in mind that any investment has some risk. We therefore recommend that you consult a financial planner who can help you find the most appropriate products for your needs and circumstances.
