Good news! The iA PAR dividend scale interest rate will increase from 6% to 6.25% starting January 1, 2024. The illustration of the new rate in EVO will be available on November 15, 2023.
This decision results from a comprehensive review of the underlying participation scale assumptions carried out this year. This increase will positively impact all contracts. However, given the variable mortality experience in each category and expenses being slightly on the rise, there could be varying effects depending on different policyholder profiles.
