  • An additional allocation, called a Wealth Bonus, of 4% is added to the investment amount upfront, giving your investment growth a head start.

  • An additional 1% Wealth Bonus will be added to any amount invested in the Glacier Solution Funds.

  • On the fifth plan anniversary, an additional Wealth Bonus of 4% will be added to your fund value. Another 4% will be added at the end of year 8 and year 10, and then at the end of every five years thereafter.

  • A Wealth Bonus will also be added if the plan is terminated due to a death claim. If the plan is terminated on request on or after the original option date (five years from the start date), only vested Wealth Bonuses will be paid.
