Dividend options

Sun Par Protector II offers 5 dividend options for you to choose from based on your unique goals for protection now and in the future.

Any dividends credited to your policy are used to purchase additional insurance, which is paid up — meaning you don't have to pay additional premiums for this extra insurance. This additional amount of insurance is also participating; it can also earn dividends and has cash value. With this compounded growth, your death benefit and cash values can increase overtime.

On each policy anniversary, any dividend we credit to your policy is used to purchase a combination of yearly term insurance and paid-up additional insurance. This combined amount of insurance is equal to the enhanced insurance amount in your policy.

Over time, the yearly term insurance is replaced by permanent paid-up additional insurance. In the future, once all of the yearly term insurance has been replaced, any dividends credited to your policy will be used to buy more paid-up additional insurance. At this point your death benefit will begin increasing.

The enhanced insurance amount is guaranteed for life. This means that we will guarantee both the enhanced insurance amount and the base insurance amount, even if dividends in the future are not enough to pay the cost of the yearly term insurance. It is important to remember that even with this guarantee, you must pay all of the premiums required for your policy.

This dividend option is available if you choose to pay your premiums annually. It can provide a cost-effective way for you to pay the premiums. We use dividends we credit to your policy to reduce your premiums for the next policy year. If the dividends we credit are more than the premium amount, we will deposit the excess into a withdrawable premium fund. The withdrawable premium fund earns interest daily. You can withdraw money from this fund when you need it or use it to cover future premium payments.

Any dividends we credit to the policy are automatically deposited into an account that is similar to a savings account with Sun Life Financial. You have access to these dividends at any time. Dividends on deposit earn interest daily and are compounded annually, at an interest rate we set.Any dividends we credit to the policy are automatically deposited into an account that is similar to a savings account with Sun Life Financial.

Additional features

Sun Par Protector II gives you access to cash when you need it most. The total cash value of your policy is made up of guaranteed cash values and non-guaranteed cash values:

Guaranteed cash value:

Sun Par Protector II will provide you with a guaranteed cash value. Your guaranteed cash values are based on several factors including the guaranteed death benefit and your age, gender and smoking status. A schedule of guaranteed cash values is included in your policy. With Sun Par Protector II, guaranteed cash values will typically begin at the end of year 5. The longer you keep your policy, the greater the guaranteed cash value will become.

Non-guaranteed cash value:

Depending on the dividend option you choose, non-guaranteed cash values will build up in your policy on a tax-preferred basis. These cash values are created by dividends used to purchase paid-up additional insurance or when dividends are left on deposit. Non-guaranteed cash values also include the value of the paid-up additional insurance purchased by any plus premium benefit payments.

Policy loans are an easy way to access the cash value of your policy. You can request a policy loan at any time if there is enough total cash value in your policy. A variable interest rate is charged on the amount you borrow. You can repay your loan at any time without penalty. If you do not repay the policy loan, the outstanding loan balance will be deducted from the total death benefit of your policy.

Policy loan may be subject to taxation.

You can also access the cash value of your policy through a withdrawal, if you have selected paid-up additional insurance or dividends on deposit as your dividend option.

Paid-up additional insurance:

Any paid-up additional insurance purchased as a result of dividends credited to your policy has a cash value associated with it. Surrendering the paid-up additional insurance allows you to access this cash value. When you make a withdrawal, both the total cash value and the total death benefit will be reduced.

Dividends on deposit:

Withdrawals from dividends on deposit are made from the savings account held outside your policy. It includes accumulated dividends we credit to the policy and any accrued interest.

Withdrawals may be subject to taxation.

If the insured person is diagnosed with a terminal illness, you may be eligible to take a lump-sum advance equal to 50% of the death benefit, to a maximum of $250,000. This is a non-contractual benefit offered by Sun Life Financial at our discretion.

Within 90 days of the death of the first insured person, the surviving insured person may buy life insurance to replace the joint coverage without providing evidence of insurability.

The base coverage amount is paid out twice if both insured persons die together or within 90 days of each other.

Optional benefits

The plus premium benefit allows you to pay an additional premium to make the most of tax-preferred cash value growth. Any plus premium benefit payment you make is used to buy paid-up additional insurance. This amount is in addition to the paid-up additional insurance being purchased by dividends.

Optional Benefits (Non-participating)

While the base insurance amount and any additional coverage provided through the dividend option you choose is participating, the following optional benefits are not participating. The premiums for these benefits are not taken into account when we make decisions about dividends.
