* The Pension Return Guarantee Fund (PRGF) consists of close ended tranches of terms 5 and 10 years. They are intended to provide you a return over a specified period, subject to a guarantee. The fund will be offered in tranches over a period of time and each tranche will be open for subscription for a brief period of time and will terminate on a specified date. We shall guarantee the NAV that will apply at the termination of each tranche. We propose to offer new tranches of this fund from time to time and the guaranteed NAV would be specified at the time of launch of each tranche. If you opt for PRGF at inception, your premium will be directed to the fund. On termination of the PRGF tranche, the proceeds will be allocated into the other funds in the same proportion as the fund portfolio at that time. In exceptional case of the entire fund being invested in a guarantee fund at the time of termination, the proceeds would be allocated to the funds opted for at inception. Kindly contact your nearest branch or our call centre regarding its availability and the applicable guaranteed NAV.
