Remember, most people don t plan to fail, they fail to plan. Take time to plan and secure your future today. How It Works Sagicor Capital Life s International Universal Life Policy provides the opportunity for high cash earning potential. The premiums that you pay create a Fund Value. This Fund Value is used to pay the ongoing charges for administration and cost of insurance. This Fund Value is credited with a competitive interest rate declared by Sagicor Capital Life. This interest is guaranteed to never be less than 3% annually and is usually higher. As well, policyowners may be eligible for a special interest bonus to be credited during year 6 to year 20. The combination results in substantial future cash values that can be used for anything you see fit. In addition, your policy provides protection in case of death. On the death of the life insured, Sagicor Capital Life will pay the named beneficiaries the Sum Insured of the policy. Depending upon the option chosen, Sagicor Capital Life may also pay out the Fund Value in addition to the face amount.
