Cannon Assurance (Kenya) Limited

Education Policy

The Education Policy provides you with the best way to put money aside to help meet the future cost of your children's education. The period for which you pay the premium ranges from 9 years to 15 years depending on which term suits your needs best.

At the end of the premium payment plan the policy holder can elect to choose one of the following options:-

  • payment of the policy proceeds in five (5) yearly instalments, or
  • a lump sum payment, five (5) years after the last premium is paid under the premium payment chosen, or
  • take a cash surrender value immediately.

EXAMPLE:
Mr. Simba is aged 40 years. He has three children aged 1 year, 6 years and 8 years . Mr. Simba is planning that in ten years time, one child will be entering university, another will be in high school and the youngest in primary school. This will cost Mr. Simba money. If today he starts saving a sum of KShs. 1,780/- per month this will immediately guarantee life cover of KShs. 200,000/-. Let us examine the annual benefits that Mr. Simba will receive towards the children's education costs, after ten years or the maturity dates of the policy:

10th year policy endows KShs. 52,030/-
11th year policy endows KShs. 57,233/-
12th year policy endows KShs. 62,956/-
13th year policy endows KShs. 69,252/-
14th year policy endows KShs. 76,177/-

After payment of the last premium (l0th year), Mr. Simba has three choices:

a) Take five yearly installments as illustrated above.
b) Take the maturity value - for this Mr Simba will have to wait five years when he will receive KShs. 418,975/-.
c) Take the cash surrender value of the Policy immediately after completion of ten years this will amount to KShs. 234,135/-.

This example is based on an assumed annual growth rate of 10% of the Policy Value Account.

BENEFITS

If Mr. Simba should die before the end of the Premium Paying Term, the guaranteed Sum of Assurance is KShs. 200,000/-, payable outright.

Proceeds from the policy are entirely free from tax.

The policy may be taken jointly by husband and wife

Loan Facility
This policy builds a cash surrender value in the third year, and the policy may be assigned as a security.
Alternatively, when the policy acquires a surrender value of Kshs. 4,000/- it qualifies for a Cannon loan, subject to company policy and prevailing rates.

Non - forfeiture Condition
After your policy has been in force for at least three years and provided three years premium has been paid the policy shall not be forfeited for non-payment of premium.
