3. How is the available fund characterized?

The Apollo 62 bond fund invests in corporate bonds from the US dollar zone with an average credit rating in the lower investment grade range. The average duration of the fund and thus the market risk are based on a maximum duration of 6 years. In addition to these general conditions, further relevant guidelines ensure broad diversification in the fund.

As an investment strategy, the fund uses the Fixed Income Strategy (FIXIS) methodology developed by Bond Management at Security KAG.

This strategy aims at an investment with the best possible ratio between profit and risk. This goal is achieved by applying a computer-supported investment procedure, which takes particular consideration of the shape of the yield curves. In addition to the yield to maturity, the curve shape (roll-down-the-curve effect) and the credit rating or default risk of the respective bond are taken into account. Incomplete market information is effectively supplemented with artificial intelligence methods.

The FIXIS strategy has been used successfully for years in all bond funds of Security KAG and can rely on a rich experience. A valuable characteristic of the strategy is the absence of future forecasting and "gut" decisions as well as the structured integration of Big Data processing.

As a 100% USD corporate bond fund, Apollo 62 is particularly suitable as an investment component for a risk-conscious overall investment adapted to the current market situation.

Regarding this fund it is possible that in favour of the client similar other fund is used for investment. For the sake of convenience it is called Apollo 62 within this information.

4. What about security option and active expiry management?

• For this rate NO security option can be included
• There is NO active expiry management provided.

5. What about insurance coverage?

• Expiry value (annual and single payment): When the contract expires the amount of the whole fund (all available assets) is paid to the policy holder. This amounts to the unit price at the end of contract multiplied by the number of units in the portfolio.
• Payment in case of death (annual premium): In case of death of the insured person during the policy’s term there is a minimum guaranteed sum which will be paid.

This “sum insured in case of death” is 5% of the total premium sum (=annual premium multiplied with term) agreed upon at the beginning of contract. That is the “Minimum death benefit” as printed on the policy. That is the amount the beneficiary will get in any case, irrespective of the current value of the fund. Based on the value of the fund at that time there are two scenarios:

In case the value of the fund is below the sum insured, the entire insured sum in case of death will be paid.

In all other cases, which is when the fund’s value exceeds the insured sum, all available assets PLUS 10 % of the sum insured in case of death are paid.

• Payment in case of death (single premium payment): If the insured person dies during the policy term, and at this time the value of the fund falls below the sum insured in the case of death, the entire amount insured in the case of death, that is 100 % of the paid premium, will be returned. If the value of the fund at the time the insured event occurs, exceeds the amount insured, the presently available assets plus 5 % of the death benefit are payable.

6. What about Pay Account?

• Pay Account is available for this rate with the same options as for all other contracts with annual premium payment (cf. Infosheet „Pay Account“).

7. Is it allowed to take a policy loan?

• Due to calculation of this product and the investment in fund units, there is no option for policy loan.

8. Examples for calculation – Corporate Optimum Investment

* There shall be no surrender value for the policy before the end of the second contract year. The projected surrender values are calculated without any charges; only the amount of the premium which is invested in a linked fund is considered. The risks of investing in funds are depending on the pre-specified investment policy and the general market development. A loss cannot be excluded. Despite a redemption possible at any-time investment funds are investment products, which are economical meaningful typically only after holding the investment for a longer period. Experience has shown that a long term of insurance helps to minimize the risk of fluctuations in the return of an investment fund. In the case of premature termination of the contract the policyholder is obliged to pay a fee of 20 per cent of the annual premium in case of rate Corporate Optimum Investment and 20 per cent of single premium in case of rate Corporate Optimum Investment Single premium, but not less than 30,00 USD and not more than 3.000,00 USD.
