Guaranteed, tax-efficient income for a period of your choice

Perhaps you’re starting a new venture and won’t be actively participating in the workforce for a while. Or you simply have a lump sum that you’d prefer to receive in a systematic manner. Whatever the reason, you need a stable income for a specified time. With a minimum investment amount of R20 000, the Sanlam Stratus Guaranteed Income Policy gives you certainty of income and a sense of security.

Why consider investing

Some reasons why clients have opted to invest in the Sanlam Stratus Guaranteed Income Policy:

“I want to ensure that my child at university receives a regular income to cover her meals, books and transport.”
“I’ve been retrenched and would prefer to receive my lump sum severance package in the form of an income over time.”
“I inherited a sum of money and I don’t want to blow it all at once. A guaranteed income for a specific period makes sense in my current financial situation.”
“My parents made an investment for me years ago, and it’s maturing now. Investing the maturity benefit in the Sanlam Stratus Guaranteed Income Policy means I have a regular extra monthly income for the next few years.”

Four things to know about the Sanlam Stratus Guaranteed Income Policy:

1. Your income is guaranteed by Sanlam Life.

2. You choose the period.
