Guarantee Your Investments

Guarantees are the key benefit of IA Clarington GIFs. They protect the value of your investments, while still allowing you to benefit from the market's growth potential.

The guarantees of the IA Clarington GIFs ensure that your initial investments are protected at maturity (after 15 years) or upon the death of the person whose life is being insured. The level of protection depends on which guarantee you select, since you can choose the combination of protection and underlying investment that best suits your goals.

At the end of 15 years, you receive the greater of the final market value or the guaranteed maturity benefit amount. This example is based on "Guarantee A" (100%). If the annuitant dies during the term of the product, the beneficiary is entitled to receive the greater of the investment's market value or 100% of initial investment (less any withdrawals).
