Automatic Premium Increase (API) is effective each year on the 1st July. The client can switch off the API in any given year, if the client is unable to pay the increased premium for that particular year. The premium escalation will automatically revert back for the policy in the following year.
Proposer’s Risk: On death or disability of policyholder within the first ten years, a lump sum equal to the balance of the ten years’ premiums will be paid into the policy - to ensure funds are still available to the child on maturity, as previously planned.
