Additional investments In line with legislation, you may add money during each contract year to a maximum of 120% of the highest total investments made in each of the previous two contract years. Recurring investments via debit order are allowed. Liquidity Two withdrawals (one zero interest loan and one disinvestment) are allowed during the rst ve years. The total withdrawal amount(s), whether by loan or disinvestment, during the rst ve years, may not exceed your investments made plus 5% p.a. compounded (and less any prior disinvestment/loan). After the rst ve years, you may access your investment via ad hoc disinvestments or regular withdrawals. The money may only be paid into your bank account and not into a third partys bank account. Cool-offs You may cool off or cancel your investment contract within 30 days of receiving conrmation that your investment was implemented. A cool-off will only take place after your written instruction was received. A cool-off is not possible if, during the rst 30 days after receiving your investment conrmation: you switched between investment options; or a benet was paid or claimed. Switching exibility You may switch between underlying investment options within the Old Mutual Wealth Life Wrapped Investment, subject to any disinvestment restrictions that may apply to the investment option from which you want to switch. Tax efciency You will only be allowed to use post-tax money to invest into this investment vehicle. All income and capital gains earned in the investment vehicle are taxed in the hands of the insurer, Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (SA) Limited (commonly referred to as four-funds taxation).

VAT) Savings on new investment fees for the nominated beneciary Ownership You become a policyholder and Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Ltd owns the underlying unit trust or other funds for your benet.
