Terminal illness, and terminally ill, means “any condition caused by illness or injury, where at the time of claim, despite all reasonable medical treatment, the insured is expected to live for no more than 12 months.”

The specialist medical practitioner treating the condition must provide supporting evidence of the condition, possible medical treatment, the prognosis after undergoing the possible medical treatment, and certify that the insured is expected to live for no more than 12 months despite all possible medical intervention. We reserve the right to appoint an independent medical specialist who is an expert in the condition to confirm the diagnosis and prognosis.

Terminal Illness in the presence of HIV infection is excluded.

We will not pay this benefit if your claim arises from:

- deliberate acts such as self-inflicted injuries, illnesses or attempted suicide; 

- unlawful acts, provoked assault, or deliberate exposure to danger; or 

- the effects of alcohol, drugs or any dependence.

This is a non-participating compulsory rider attached to Provenance Solitaire to provide part of the minimum protection value¹

The MPV varies depending on the age of the insured at policy entry date and is a percentage of the sum assured. The MPV is applicable before the anniversary immediately after the insured reaches the age of 85.

Yes, cash value is available after the single premium is paid.

You may choose to cash in this policy fully or partially. The policy will end after you cash in this policy fully.

Yes, there are two types of bonuses:

• “Annual” or “reversionary” bonus is added to the policy each year.
• "Terminal" bonus is an extra bonus which we pay at the time of making a claim or if you cash in this policy.

To avoid doubt, Provenance Solitaire – Protection Benefit does not form part of the Life Participating Fund, and no bonus is payable on the benefit.

Bonuses are not guaranteed. They are recommended by our Appointed Actuary and approved by our Board of Directors. 

Bonus pay-outs to policyholders are primarily influenced by the performance of the Life Participating Fund (Par Fund). The Fund’s performance is predominantly driven by factors such as the investment returns of the Par Fund, its expenses and claims experience. Aligned to industry practice, Income is safeguarding policyholders’ interest by allocating 90% of Par Fund surpluses to them. This means for every $9 distributed to policyholders, only a maximum of $1 is allocated to shareholders.

Riders, also known as supplementary benefits, can be attached to a basic insurance policy to provide additional protection at lower cost.

The Provenance Disability Accelerator can be attached to the basic insurance policy. It provides coverage on total and permanent disability (TPD) for a limited period of time.

There is no minimum entry age and maximum entry age for insured is 75 age last birthday.
