Modification | Asset transfer process on death

October 17, 2022

To avoid additional stress due to market fluctuations in the event of the loss of a loved one, assets held in segregated funds will be transferred to the money market fund upon notification of the death of the annuitant or the last successor annuitant.

For situations where a rollover to avoid tax provisions is possible, no transfer will be made. This change takes effect immediately for all contracts.

On death:

  • Funds will be automatically transferred by administration to the money market fund upon receipt of notification of the death of the annuitant or the last successor annuitant.
  • You will receive a transaction confirmation notifying you of the transfer of assets.
  • No transaction confirmation will be sent to the annuitant or the last successor annuitant.

No action required
