Investment Details Please note: The minimum investment amount may not be less than R100,000; From time to time new investment portfolios will be made available, some of which may have a sub-minimum investment amount; Each investment portfolio will attract investment portfolio charges/fees, dependant on the applicant s selection made; The Cannon SuperDogs Investment does not offer any capital guarantee, or any guarantee on investment returns; All performances quoted on the relevant fund fact sheets are net of all asset manager fees. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO NAME RiY^ Worst Case Return after expenses^ INVESTMENT AMOUNT (Enter either ZAR or Percentage) Cannon SuperDogs Portfolio 3.5% 6.5%% % R ^ Effect of expenses The reduction in yield (RIY) shows the extent to which the return on the assets will be eroded due to expenses charged against the policy. The assumed gross investment return of 10% used to calculate the RiY shown in the table is not guaranteed, but merely used to illustrate the impact of expenses. The actual investment return earned on premiums paid in, will depend on the gross investment return earned on the assets and the extent to which this return is reduced by taxation and expenses. Note on performance fee The above RIY figure includes a performance fee levied on the underlying funds. This amount assumes that the fund return is the same as that of its benchmark, as disclosed in the relevant fund fact sheets produced by the investment manager in question. The actual performance fee could be higher or lower depending on the performance of the underlying fund. The performance fee is specific to the fund and is also disclosed in the investment manager fund fact sheets. Effect of Inflation The gross investment return will depend on financial market conditions and the rate of inflation during the policy term. Inflation has a major impact on investment returns, and in general higher inflation leads to higher investment returns and lower inflation leads to lower investment returns. Real rates of return (the excess of the investment return over the inflation rate) give a more meaningful indication of how the investment has performed. Effect of Taxation Depending on the type of policy, insurance companies pay different rates of tax on investment returns. The effective tax rates may also be different between insurance companies, based on their level of expenses. All benefits paid out under a policy are net of tax and there are thus no further tax obligations for the policyholder. Any reduction/changes in these charges will reduce the RiY, which may be higher or lower, depending on the performance of the underlying investment portfolio. Page 5 of 7
