The most flexible and accountable life insurance contract available today.

A unique financial product comprised of two primary components - permanent, guaranteed life insurance and a fully accountable tax sheltered investment account with a variety of investment options.

1. Permanent "Term" Life Insurance

Unlike traditional term insurance, this "term" insurance provides coverage for the rest of your life, and is the absolute lowest cost form of guaranteed permanent life insurance coverage available.

• Flexible deposits and payment periods; You can even take a "premium holiday"
• Level premiums, guaranteed never to change, for permanent guaranteed life insurance;
• Unlike whole life, the death benefit consists of both the original life insurance face amount, and investment account balance, TAX FREE!

   

2. Tax-deferred Investment Account

Deposits are placed in your tax-deferred investment account. The minimum annual deposit is sufficient to keep the policy in-force. The maximum, established by Revenue Canada, is the largest deposit that can be invested each year on a tax deferred basis. The value of your account will depend on two factors: the amount (in excess of the minimum) that you choose to invest and the return provided by the investments you select.

Investment Options

• Investment options include interest bearing GIC type investments and "mutual-type" funds.
