How the MyNorth Guarantees work
5-year guarantees
At the end of the 5-year term, you’ll receive the value of your investment in the MyNorth Guardian Max85 Fund or your initial investment amount (protected balance), whichever is higher (see key considerations).
With optional growth lock-ins
If you choose growth lock-ins (additional costs apply), any growth achieved on your guarantee anniversary date in the MyNorth Guardian Max85 Fund will lock in a new protected balance. At the end of the 5-year term, you’lll receive the value of your investment in the Guardian fund or your protected balance, whichever is higher.
10-year guarantees
Any growth achieved on your guarantee anniversary date in the MyNorth Guardian Max100 Fund will lock in a new protected balance (see key considerations). At the end of the 10-year term, you’ll receive the value of your investment in the guardian fund or your protected balance, whichever is higher.
With optional vesting
If you choose vesting (additional costs apply), any early withdrawal will include the investment value of the MyNorth Guardian Max100 Fund and part of the protected value that is in excess of this. This provides you some benefit of the guarantee, depending on how long you've been in the policy.
Here’s an example of how the 10-year guarantee with vesting works.
Things you need to know
This illustration does not account for the guarantee fees or tax liabilities attributed from the guaranteed investment over the life of the guarantee. The guarantee fee for the 10-year guarantee with vesting feature is 1.85%pa, based on the protected balance. While this hypothetical scenario illustrates a guarantee benefit payment at the end of the term, there are circumstances where the investment value will be greater than the protected balance at the end of the term and a guarantee benefit is not payable. This is for illustrative purposes only and not an indicator of actual performance or investment returns
