About

Introduction

The Glacier East Asia Capital Enhancer is a five-year investment option linked to the performance of a global composite portfolio of companies in East Asia, presenting one of the most compelling investment opportunities of the decade.

A minimum lump sum contribution of R100,000 is required. The investment is structured within the Vantage Plan, a sinking fund policy underwritten by Safrican Insurance Company, and has a minimum term of five years. The first five years constitute a ‘restricted period’.

Guidance

How it works

You make a lump sum investment of at least R100,000.

The investment is linked to the performance of a portfolio of companies with strong growth prospects in Asia.

The capital protection and investment return are provided by a leading global bank.

Benefits

What investment in the East Asia Capital Enhancer offers you

Offshore exposure with rand guarantees so your investment is not affected by rand volatility.
A defined enhanced return if performance is positive, as well as capital protection, reducing uncertainty.
Diversification in your wider investment portfolio to mitigate capital loss and uncertain returns.
Elimination of manager risk, with performance linked to a basket of indices using a fixed formula rather than fund manager decisions.
Tax efficiency, through a sinking fund structure with tax applied at maturity under the five-fund approach at the current 30% rate.
Estate planning benefits, allowing a nominated beneficiary to continue the investment after death and potentially reduce executor’s fees.

Insights

Access to your money

You may exit this investment prior to maturity. The value will be calculated based on the market value of the asset, which could be less than the original investment amount. The minimum return is only provided if the policy is held to maturity. For an early exit, one full surrender is allowed, subject to a 6% fee.

Charges

Tax and fees

All fees are priced into the investment. No additional fee will be deducted separately, which means that 100% of your investment amount will be invested. Fees vary per product and underlying investments. Please speak to your financial intermediary to make sure you pay the correct fees and that you understand which fees you pay and why.

Tax details

All returns will be taxed as income at maturity, using the prevailing tax rates.
