PERMANENT LIFE
Gold Series Fixed Indexed
Single Premium Whole Life Insurance
Why do I want to buy Fixed Indexed Single Premium Whole Life Insurance?
Careful planning and wise financial thinking have allowed
you to save for your retirement. Most likely, your assets have
accumulated in savings and investment tools such as Certificates
of Deposit (CDs), money markets, annuities, and mutual funds.
But asset management, probate fees, taxes, and possible stock
market losses could shrink your estate.
Re-allocating some of these assets to the Sagicor Gold Series
Fixed Indexed Single Premium Whole Life may provide many
additional opportunities and choices for your money, such as:
- Sophisticated indexed-linked crediting strategies for greater
upside potential.
- Increased estate value.
- Control and access to your money for emergencies and
opportunities through Policy Loans. Please see Policy for
Policy Loan details.
- Living benefits to help pay for the expenses of chronic illness
and care.
- Transferring money more efficiently to your heirs.

INTEREST CREDITING CHOICES
Sagicor's Gold Series Fixed Indexed Single Premium Whole
Life offers three (3) distinct crediting strategies for wealth
management and diversification:
1 YEAR TERM DECLARED FIXED RATE (Declared Rate Strategy 1)
This strategy offers a fixed interest rate declared by Sagicor
that is guaranteed for one year. Interest will be credited daily
from the time an allocation is made to this strategy. At each
anniversary, Sagicor may change the rate for the following year,
but the rate will never be less than the Guaranteed Annual
Interest Rate of 2% per year. Transfers are permitted at the end
of the one year Term Period.
S&P 500® INDEX 1 YEAR TERM WITH CAP
(Indexed Strategy 1)
This is a one year point-to-point indexed strategy linked to the
S&P 500® Index. Interest is credited at the end of the year, and
is based solely upon any positive change in the index value
which is subject to a floor of 0% and a maximum equal to the
Cap. The Cap is declared in advance and is guaranteed for one
year and may change annually. The Indexed Interest Rate is
subject to the appropriate Participation Rate and Cap. There is
a Minimum Cap of 4% and the minimum credited rate is 0%.
Transfers are permitted at the end of the one year Term Period.
GLOBAL LOOK-BACK INDEXED 3 YEAR TERM
WITH PARTIPATION RATE (Indexed Strategy 2)1
This indexed strategy is a "basket" of indices and utilizes a
three year "global look-back". Currently the Russell® 2000
Index, EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Hang Seng Index are
used in the "basket". Interest is credited at the end of the Term
Period, which is defined as the earlier of date of death of the
Insured or three years. The Indexed Interest Rate is calculated
using 60% of the return of the best performing index, plus
40% of the return of the second best performing index and
is subject to the appropriate Participation Rate and Cap. The
worst performing index is not used when determining the
Indexed Interest Rate. This strategy provides an opportunity to
benefit from globally diversified indices that do not necessarily
move in the same direction at the same time. The Minimum
Participation Rate is 20% and the minimum credited rate is 0%.
Transfers are permitted at the end of the three year Term Period.
OR
GLOBAL ADVANTAGE INDEXED 1 YEAR TERM WITH
PARTICIPATION RATE (Indexed Strategy 3)2
This is a one year point-to-point indexed strategy that utilizes
a "basket" of indices. Currently the Russell® 2000 Index, the
EURO STOXX 50® Index, and the Hang Seng Index are used
in the "basket". Interest is credited at the end of the year. The
Indexed Interest Rate is calculated using 60% of the return of
the best performing index, plus 40% of the return of the second
best performing index, and is subject to the appropriate
Participation Rate and Cap. The worst performing index is not
used when determining the Indexed Interest Rate. This strategy
provides an opportunity to benefit from globally diversified
indices that do not necessarily move in the same direction at the
same time. The Minimum Participation Rate is 20%, the Minimum
Cap is 2% and the minimum credited rate is 0%. Transfers are
permitted at the end of the one year Term Period.
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
The minimum Death Benefit is guaranteed from day one
regardless of changes in your age or health. Also, your Death
Benefit can increase over time as your Cash Value inside the
Policy may increase. Death Benefits to a named beneficiary are
generally probate free.3 Death Benefits are limited if the Insured
dies by suicide within 2 years from the Policy Date. Please see
Policy for details.
GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL
The indexed-linked interest credit will never be less than 0%.
You do not participate in any stock market risk.
100% GUARANTEED RETURN OF PREMIUM
Your single premium payment is guaranteed from day one. In the
unlikely event you surrender your Policy, you are guaranteed to
receive at least 100% of your initial premium back, less any
outstanding indebtedness (Minimum Guaranteed Cash Value)
and prior withdrawals.
TRIPLE TAX-ADVANTAGES
The Sagicor Gold Series Fixed Indexed Single Premium Whole
Life Policy provides tax-deferred interest earnings on the Cash
Value Account, the compounding of interest on interest is tax
deferred, and the Death Benefit is free from federal taxes
in most cases.4
LIVING BENEFITS
Through the Accelerated Benefit Insurance Rider, and after
the Policy has been in-force for 12 months, you can access the
Policy's Death Benefit in two ways:
TERMINAL CONDITION BENEFIT
A terminal condition can be devastating for you and your
family. If you develop a terminal condition, as defined by this
Rider, you may withdraw the lesser of $250,000 or an amount
equal to the Death Benefit Amount less $25,000. Terminal
Condition, as used in this Rider, means an imminent death
is expected in 12 months or less, see the Rider for details.
CHRONIC ILLNESS BENEFIT5
This benefit will also cover a chronic illness. If you develop a chronic illness, as defined by this Rider, you may withdraw the lesser of $250,000 or an amount equal to the Death Benefit Amount less $25,000. Chronic Illness, as used in this Rider, means that the Insured has been certified by a Licensed Physician within the last 30 days as being unable to perform, without substantial assistance from another individual, at least two Activities of Daily Living for a period that is expected to last at least 90 days due to a loss of functional capacity. The benefit amount will be paid out in 33 equal monthly installments.
In some states, the Policy Owner may elect to receive a portion of the Accelerated Death Benefit Amount due to Chronic Illness as a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is elected, the amount of the payment will be equal to 90% of the elected portion of the Accelerated Death Benefit Amount.
The Accelerated Death Benefit is included at no additional cost. Only one type of Accelerated Death Benefit is payable, an Insured cannot receive a payment based on a Terminal Condition and a Chronic Illness. See the Policy for details, Rider limitations and exclusions.
