* The bonuses rates for Sandton Properties are applicable for endowments.
** The bonus rates are applicable to those that have extended their original Sandton Property policy post the initial 5 year period.
l The above bonus rates are after an allowance for tax and any ongoing management fees.
Please Note
l The interim rates are not guaranteed
l The simulated bonuses above for the Excelsior Property portfolio are based on the Lifestyle Property portfolio bonuses. The Lifestyle portfolio ongoing management fees were added back so as to create
approximate bonuses gross of ongoing fees. The returns for a company were based on the returns for a natural person and the returns for an untaxed institution were based on the RA returns. These are for
illustrative purposes only.
l The final rates net of management fees are an understatement of the true value due to estimation. The ongoing fees are levied on the interim bonus rate which is lower than the final bonus rate. The final
bonus rate is only declared at the end of the year.
l Prior to 2002, the RA returns were used as a proxy for the untaxed returns that could have been experienced under the Excelsior Property portfolio.
l The returns are after an allowance for tax where indicated.
l The returns are applicable to the amount of the lump sum invested and assume a single premium investment.
