HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

The minimum monthly contribution is $100.00, however you may invest any additional monies you wish, bearing in mind that the greater the investment, the greater the potential return.

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

The greater the return, the greater the risk this is the premise upon which most investments are made. However, the Universal Investor guarantee the sum insured, but the values of all other benefits are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with the market values of the assets of the funds.
