SunSpectrum Universal Life II Insurance

SunSpectrum Universal Life II offers the death benefit type known as the Insurance amount plus policy fund. On the death of an insured person, the beneficiary receives the insurance amount plus the policy fund value, less any outstanding policy loans including interest.

Your money earns daily interest at the floating rate effective for that day.

Your interest rate is guaranteed to stay the same. The rate is based on the term you choose – normally the longer the term, the higher the interest rate. Available terms: 

• 1-year 
• 3-year 
• 5-year 
• 10-year

These investment accounts track the performance of recognized investment funds. Interest for each managed account is calculated daily based on the performance of the investment fund linked to the account.

There are no interest rate guarantees for the managed accounts. Returns may be negative.

As a reward to you for long-term funding within your policy, SunSpectrum Universal Life II offers a guaranteed investment bonus. The bonus is payable beginning on the 10th policy anniversary and is based on your policy fund value.

To provide you with additional flexibility, you can elect to reduce your insurance amount and make no further payments as early as age 70. The new insurance amount is fully paid -up and is guaranteed and level for life.

The policy owner may make one withdrawal from the policy fund each time an insured person becomes disabled due to illness, deteriorated mental ability or terminal illness. Each disability must continue for 60 consecutive days. Please see the policy contract for the definition of a disability.

This benefit is offered on Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada life insurance products and is a non-contractual arrangement that we may approve at our discretion on a case-by-case basis. If an insured person is diagnosed with a terminal illness, an application can be made by the policy owner for a lump sum advance of 50% of the insurance amount, to a maximum of $100,000. The lump sum, plus interest, is deducted from the death benefit when paid. This benefit follows the rules of the living benefit program in effect when the policy owner applies to receive the benefit.

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.

You have access to your savings to give you the flexibility you need. You can withdraw cash or take out a policy loan at any time if there is enough cash value in your policy. Any loan that is outstanding at the time of death will reduce the total death benefit. Policy loans may be subject to taxation.
